VORTRAN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY 1, INC 3960 VORTRAN® APM-Plus

The VORTRAN® APM-Plus is a battery (2 x AA) operated, microprocessor controlled, portable, self-contained device designed for monitoring a positive airway-pressure device such as a resuscitator or bubble CPAP. The VORTRAN® APM-Plus is housed in a plastic enclosure and includes a number of associated accessories. It connects to the positive-pressure device under monitor via pneumatic pressure tubing and receives the pressure signals using its solid-state pressure transducer. The pressure signals are used to calculate the related characteristics which are displayed on the LCD screen. The values are used to trigger alarms that alert the user of any abnormal pressure conditions. The software algorithm constantly monitors the data and if/when the pressure characteristics are outside of the user-set limits, an alarm will be activated. The alarms are both visual and audible. For ease of use, the VORTRAN® APM-Pus software provides two modes of operations: Resuscitator Mode and PAP Mode.
