Overview

They deserve our best from the very beginning

Newborns should not have to start their lives battling for it. But some will, and the best we can do is help create an ideal environment for them to breathe, sleep and grow - while minimizing as many risks as possible to their physical and mental development.

Ready for the reality of NICU

Servo-n Neonatal Ventilator was created to help provide vulnerable neonates with the support they need while protecting the lungs, brain, and other developing organs. Sensitive and responsive, Servo-n compensates for variable leakage in both invasive* and non-invasive modes of ventilation. Servo-n can deliver tidal volumes as low as 2ml in patients as small as 0.3kg and includes optional hot-wire flow sensor technology to both trigger and measure pressure and flow at the patient interface.

* Leak compensation in invasive modes is only available in the neonatal patient category and is not available in Bi-Vent. 

Servo-n also enables you to monitor the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi). This signal reflects the neonate’s neural respiratory drive, breath by breath. With it, you can determine the optimal level of assist at any given time, in any mode of ventilation. Servo-n includes Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA®), a ventilation mode with the ability to match support to the irregular breathing patterns of neonates. There are many benefits with using NAVA, such as reduced work of breathing1, lower peak pressures and FiO2 requirements2, and improved comfort3. All of these benefits help you support neonates breathing spontaneously, while potentially reducing the need for sedation and time on ventilation.4

Servo-n makes for simple and intuitive setup, monitoring, and operation. You’re never more than a touch away from on-screen support.

Babies who start their lives in the NICU will have some catching up to do. Help them breathe, sleep and grow with Servo-n.

Built-in High Flow therapy

High Flow therapy reduces the patient’s work of breathing by delivering a gas flow volume to meet or exceed the patient’s inspiratory flow rate, supporting the patient’s own efforts and minimizing limitations.[44]This therapy involves a set flow that drives the accurate level of heated and humidified oxygen, improving patient comfort and tolerance.[45] The integrated nebulization can be used during High Flow therapy.

Servo Compass

Servo Compass on Servo-u and Servo-n target-guided ventilation

The ventilator is an indispensable tool in the ICU area. Used wisely it may help reduce the risks of Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI).

Getinge Compass

Servo Compass visualizes the volume and pressure of each breath in relation to set targets.

Servo Compass® allows clinicians to visually assess patients at a glance for low tidal volumes and peak pressures, alerting clinicians to changing conditions and allowing them to intervene with appropriate therapy. Servo Compass® joins NAVA® and Edi monitoring as part of the Servo portfolio focusing on lung protection and activation of the diaphragm. The goal of which is to enable clinicians to promote lung protective ventilation and wean patients from the ventilator.

How to detect deviations from ventilation targets with Servo Compass

Patient on target

Volume and pressure OK

Increased risk for volutrauma

Too high volume

Increased risk for atelectotrauma

Too low volume

Increased risk for barotrauma

Too high pressure
