The PEEP-Alert™ Pressure and Flow Monitor displays and monitors positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and flow when used in conjunction with a ventilatory assistance device for non-invasive ventilation, such as a ventilatory assistance helmet. It may be used in the intensive care unit, patient room, clinic, emergency medicine and emergency transport settings for adult and pediatric patients.
The included charge brick supports North American outlets. For other regions, EU, UK and AU wall plug adaptors are available.

100 + hours battery life
PEEP-Alert provides over 100 hours of monitoring on a single charge.
Audible and visual alarms
The user can adjust upper and lower limits for pressure and flow alarms. If readings exceed these values, a buzzer and LED will draw the attention of surrounding personnel.
Delivered PEEP
Delivered positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is reported in cmH2O. PEEP-Alert can read between 0 and 30 cmH2O with accuracy ±5%.
Fresh gas flowrate
Flow is reported in standard liters per minute (LPM). PEEP-Alert can read between 25 and 150 LPM with accuracy ±10%.
Continuous monitoring
Continuously monitor positive pressure therapy, increasing confidence that delivered PEEP matches target.
Gas utilization
Ensure adequate fresh gas flowrate to patient and awareness of utilization of gas supplies.
Simple
Simple to use with no calibration and zero start-up time.
Reusable
The PEEP-Alert Pressure and Flow Monitor is a reusable medical device. We recommend disinfecting between patients using an accelerated hydrogen peroxide wipe.If required, you can also serialize PEEP-Alert using low-temperature vaporized hydrogen peroxide.
Easy to integrate
PEEP-Alert uses 22 mm socket/cone connectors. This makes it compatible with all the ventilatory assistance helmets that use industry-standard 22 mm ports.
