Thanks for the information.Just out of curiosity, will it be sub-optimal or even harmful to run the fabian at flows of 20 like the sensormedics3011A. And if the I:E ratios were set at 1:3 or 1:2 instead of 1:1 would it affect ventilator performance with effect on patient respiratory function?BTW, a nice comparison:Harcourt, E.R., John, J., Dargaville, P.A., Zannin, E., Davis, P.G., Tingay, D.G., 2014. Pressure and flow waveform characteristics of eight high-frequency oscillators. Pediatr Crit Care Med 15, e234–240.
We usually set the flow between 8 and 12 depending on the baby. We have found it to be amazing. I did not think that anything would be as good as the Sensormedics but we have a fleet of 18 Fabians and have not needed to use the Sensormedics since.
We do find that you need to use a much lower Hz down to 6 at times for the critically ill baby who is impossible to oxygenate. If you need more technical advice definitely worth contacting your local distributor or head office direct. They are extremely skilled and very helpful. Good luck!We usually set I:E to 1:2!

Efficient.Every newborn is special. PRICO (Predictive Intelligent Control of Oxygenation) by ACUTRONIC is the next generation of Intelligent Closed-Loop FiO 2-SpO 2 Controls, maintaining the patient's SpO 2 within the intended range. Together with the Masimo Set® SpO 2-Sensors, its unique algorithm and high-performance blender now perform FiO 2 adjustments automatically, quickly, and more reliably than ever before.PRICO not only supports caregivers in their daily goal for best possible patient comfort and safety, but also helps clinicians save time, reduce cost, and improve their workflow. Patient SafetyOn the receiving end of our ventilators are the tiniest and most fragile patients imaginable. Designedfor MobilityMedical technology should simplify the work flow of clinicians.
Interfaces should be familiar and intuitive. They should be consistent across different workstations, thus reducing the potential for error. Data should be entered just once and be available across multiple platforms to support decision-making.Ultimately, innovations in ventilator design and clinical information management can improve both patient safety and outcomes, while supporting maximum flexibility. Comprehensive deviceAllowing easy access to the baby at all times. No disturbances at the bedside in NICU/PICU from device reshuffles. Lightweight unitDesigned for safe, practical transportation with integrated electronic gas blender and built-in battery.
