Infant Ventilator with touch-screen operation When the smallest thing matters

Neonatal ventilation poses real caregivers. Neonatal patients, especially premature infants are very fragile and have undeveloped respiratory systems that require very small tidal volumes. Therefore, precision and reliability are crucial. Triggered modes of ventilation, require the finest technology to ensure reliable detection of the baby's breathing. Fast triggering of mechanical breaths is essential, in order to reduce the patient's work In the busy NICU environment, medical and nursing staff need a ventilator that provides them with all the tools they need to treat their most challenging...

Targeted Tidal Volume plus (TTVplus) Recent research indicates that the use of volume targeted ventilation offers significant improvement in ventilation outcomes, such as reduction of death, air leak syndrome and chronic lung disease, compared to pressure limited ventilation.(1) In TTV , the SLE4000 measures the expired tidal volume (Vte) and adjusts the PIP in accordance with the changing lung mechanics, to deliver the user-set Vte at the userset Ti. plus A new algorithm further improves the stability of delivered volumes and ensures delivery of the breath at the user set Ti. The latest software...

Audible and Visual Alarms The alarm panel provides an immediate audible and pictorial view of the alarm condition, thus allowing easy monitoring, plus an alarm history of the last 100 conditions. Integrated battery The SLE4000 has an internal battery that ensures uninterrupted operation in case of a mains supply failure. The battery lasts for more than one hour in normal operation conditions. This makes the ventilator even safer and makes it ideal for use in internal hospital transport. Patient Circuit Connections Front panel mounted patient circuit connections with autoclavable exhalation block....

Safe & Easy-to-Use Integral screen Colour-coded user touch screen. Easy-touse, logical sequence allowing quick, smooth adjustments. The SLE4000’s 12.1 inch screen means that all the data you need can be easily seen. Real-time Data Display Real-time lung mechanics measurements and ventilatory data. This allows for continuous feedback for making crucial clinical decisions. Pre-Setting Facility Parameters can be preselected for the next mode whilst continuing to ventilate the patient in the current mode of ventilation. Compact Unit The SLE4000 ventilator is housed in a single compact box, making...

Valveless System All of SLE’s ventilators use ‘valveless technology’. This means that the management of the airflow is controlled not by a mechanical valve, but by a jet of air, acting as a pneumatic piston. This system is based on 20 years of patented technology, and offers many significant advantages. The SLE4000 measures flow and volume using a hot wire technology sensor, designed to be placed proximally to the patient, which is essential for the accuracy on neonates. The first of these is that there is no additional resistance in the circuit. This ensures that even with the smallest of babies...

SLE is a world leader in the design and manufacture of neonatal ventilators. Years of ventilation experience have given the company an understanding of the challenges that nurses and clinicians face when caring for the tiniest and most critical babies. From being the pioneers of neonatal Patient Triggered Ventilation (PTV) in the 1980s, to the introduction of combined HFO (High Frequency Oscillation) in the 1990s, and the design of the first touch-screen Neonatal Ventilator in the 2000s, SLE has maintained a position of strength in neonatal ventilation. The company’s guiding principle is to support...
