Volume controlled ventilation simply involves setting the desired stroke volume and stroke rate.  Starling type ventilators such as the models available from Ugo Basile offer impeccable engineering quality and finishing.  This results in a perfectly smooth respiratory wave, minimal dead-space and almost silent operation.

We offer the following models for volume cycled ventilation. 

Ugo Basile 7025 Stroke Volume Range 0.5 - 5ml or 1 - 10ml or 3 - 30 ml (5ml, 10ml or 30ml Cylinder Dependant) Rate 10 - 180 Strokes Per Minute	Ugo Basile 5025 Stroke Volume Range 0-350ml  or 0-700ml (350ml or 700ml Cylinder Dependant) Rate 10-50 Strokes Per Minute
Ugo Basile 6025 Stroke Volume Range 5 - 50ml or 10 - 100ml (50ml or 100ml Cylinder Dependant) Rate 10-100 Strokes Per Minute

As testament to the reliability of the Ugo Basile ventilators, our demonstration model was second hand when we received it many years ago.  It is now around 17 years old and apart from very occasional greasing, it has never needed any servicing.  Today it runs as smoothly and silently as the day it left the Ugo Basile factory.

All Ugo Basile ventilators now come with digital readout, step-less adjustment of volume and rate and TTL start/stop control.

HSE Minivent

HSE Type 845 MiniVent Ventilator Stroke Volume Range 35-300µl Up to 300 Strokes per minute Very Small Dead-Space (remains constant independent of stroke volume)

We also offer a specialised model from Hugo Sachs Elektronik for very small subjects (<100g).  The Type 845 has very fine volume adjustment and 'valveless' operation means that dead-space is kept to a minimum.  The 845 is small and can be easily located close to the subject.

CWE MRI-1: MRI Compatible Volume Cycled Ventilator for Small Subjects

Non-magnetic Pneumatic Valves Dependable all-electronic ventilator Wide tidal volume and rate range Safe with oxygen & anaesthesia Direct readout of volume and rate

The MRI-1 ventilator is a ventilator designed specifically for use in MRI and other high magnetic field environments.  The system comprises of a microprocessor-based control unit and a set of remote, pneumatically operated, non-metallic valves.  The MRI-1 can operate as a stand-alone unit or it can be controlled and/or monitored by a computer.

The MRI-1 Operates on the flow-time principle: an inspiratory airflow is established and gated into the subject for a known time, thus producing a known volume.  This approach provides extraordinary flexibility - a wide range of volumes, breaths-per-minute, and Inspiratory/Expiratory ratios are possible with no hardware changes, using just three front-panel controls.

The MRI-1 has a built-in pump to provide respiratory airflow.  Alternatively pressurized gasses including oxygen and anaesthetic gasses may be used.

The MRI-1 is designed to allow simple and cost-effective expansion to the facilitate the simultaneous ventilation of multiple subjects.  In which case the external valves operate synchronously but the volumes are  independently adjustable.
