BreathDirect™ is a response to the immediate need for ventilators in our ICUs. A uniquely qualified partnership from three companies in the medical device industry (Nectar Product Development, Hubbell, Inc Evolve Manufacturing Technologies, Inc.) built this cost-effective, compact, multi-capable ventilator to stay with patients through each phase of their respiratory treatment. Primarily for intensive care units, the BreathDirect™ BDR-19 can operate equally well in emergency wards, recovery rooms, intermediate care, and short-term intra-hospital transport. Its simple and intuitive user interface has three main operating functions that allow for a walk-up and operate design for any clinician. BreathDirect™ BDR-19 functions as both an invasive or non-invasive ventilator, from basic oxygen support to mask-delivered positive pressure, to advanced sedated and intubated ventilator assistance. Its delivery modes can be fully mandatory or responsive to the body and its system features an exhalation valve and built-in gas blender for control of the air/oxygen mix. Built from readily sourced components, the BreathDirect™ BDR-19 has a dramatically lower price per unit verse other ventilators. Still, every unit meets all FDA 510K standards and protocols specific for ventilators – including 80601-2-80, and 80601-2-12, the standard for critical care ventilators, which requires incorporating usability and human factors into the design.
