The Quality of Hospital Care in The
Comforts of Home
Sending a ventilator
dependent patient home requires coordination among a group of
dedicated professionals: pulmonologists, doctors, durable medical
equipment personnel, hospital administrators, respiratory
therapists, nurses, and homecare providers including the patient's
family. Family members will tell you; with the right piece of
equipment, providing comfortable ventilation at home can be
uncomplicated and dramatically improve the quality of life for their
loved ones. Unfortunately, the limitations of most ventilators can
make caring for homecare patients a real challenge. The TBird©
Legacy provides the solution for anyone who requires the quality of
hospital care at home.
Lightweight and compact
in its design, the TBird©
Legacy is the first homecare ventilator to use a turbine, which
provides the continuous flow needed for low Work of Breathing (WOB)
and easy synchrony with the patient's efforts. The internal battery
provides patient's with unprecedented freedom and complete mobility.
The TBird©
Legacy is one of today's most dependable, high performance
ventilators, for the homecare market. Designed with comprehensive
features such as built-in PEEP, flow triggering and the synchrony of
pressure support, TBird©
Legacy exceeds the expectations of professionals concerned with
patient outcomes. Clinically proven to enhance patient comfort,
pressure support greatly reduces the work of breathing as well as
the time needed to wean users from the ventilator.
Now with Pressure
Control as a breath type, the Legacy offers even more flexibility in
meeting the patient's needs and lowering the WOB.
Reliable and easy to use
and maintain, the TBird©
Legacy supports the breathing demands of a wide range of patients,
making it the homecare ventilator of choice for everyone concerned.

|
| Critical
information such as the unit's color-coded manometer displays
and set alarm limits are easy to see and read. An improvement
from other homecare ventilators, the monitoring system enables
family members to see the ventilator functioning from across
the room. |
|
Used to
promote patient/ventilator synchrony1, Pressure
Support, one of the most popular and comfortable breath types,
is now available to homecare patients. For many patients
Pressure Support can make the difference between a successful
and failed transition to home. |

Monitor/Alarm Window |
|
|
|
| More
than just an alert to a care giver, the built-in High Pressure
alarm triggers the release of circuit pressure in order to
protect the patient |
|
Clear
and concise information can cut down on late night questions
and unnecessary doctor visits. Caregivers can quickly identify
the message in the window and respond accordingly. |

| The
design of the single control knob greatly enhances safety
while significantly decreasing training time. |

| Exhalation Valve |
|
|
|
|
|
| A
peer-reviewed study proved the exhalation valve used in the
TBird® Legacy imposes a lower work of breathing than other
Homecare ventilators2. By incorporating the
exhalation valve into the TBird® Legacy, the ventilator can
accommodate simple inexpensive breathing circuits. PEEP is
actively and accurately maintained. |
