Bringing technology to life
Mobile life-saver
With some 15,000 units in use throughout the world, Smiths Medical's mobile Pneupac ventilators have helped save many lives in a wide range of emergencies. The new paraPAC™ model, launched this year, offers an enhanced platform that can be extended as required by customers in the acute, ambulance, military and mass emergency markets. paraPAC™ is able to increase the oxygen mix to ease breathing, provide CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) typically for heart attack victims needing urgent attention, or switch to full ventilation mode for the critically ill who require immediate resuscitation and hospital-standard intensive care. The ruggedised design of Pneupac ventilators allows them to operate in the harshest of weathers and terrains and they are currently used by more than 20 army medical corps worldwide.
