Publication number: 20220265943Abstract: A ventilator system for providing respiratory support in cases of acute respiratory failure or severe trauma is described. The ventilator system comprises a ventilator and a tubing system. The system is characterized in that the ventilator comprises a continuous bleed valve configured to be open to air flow from the blower at all times when the blower is operating during both inspiration and expiration; thereby providing a minimal amount of pressure within a patient's lungs at the end of each exhalation—positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). In an embodiment of the invention the system comprises a manifold block configured to hold the main operating elements of ventilator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Mark SHAHAR, Nir BARKAI

Patent number: 10245437Abstract: A system that includes both an Airway and Ventilation device (AV) and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) device is described. The system allows minimally trained persons to operate it in emergency situations involving respiratory failure and/or cardiac arrhythmias. An integral part of the AV of the system is a face mask manufactured in two parts: a face attachment unit configured to attach to the patient's face and a mask body that is releasably connected to the face attachment unit by a quick release mechanism allowing quick removal of the mask body from the face attachment unit, leaving only the face attachment unit attached to the patients' face, in order to address urgencies such as vomiting. After vomiting ceases and is cleared, then the mask body may be reattached to continue ventilation.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2013Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: INOVYTEC MEDICAL SOLUTIONS LTD.Inventors: Ehud Kantor, Mark Shahar, Nir Barkai
