The TBird VELA Ventilator employs a turbine gas delivery system along with microprocessor control to provide support for pediatric to adult patients. Capable of delivering clinically advanced modes of ventilation like Pressure Support with an internal battery or AC power the TBird VELA Ventilator has an extensive patient range. The TBird VELA Ventilator ventilator pneumatic system is an electromechanical system comprised of four major subsystems, each containing several components. These systems include the flow delivery system, the exhalation system, the safety system and the inspiratory hold valve. This electromechanical system controls all inspiratory flow to the patient. The exhalation system controls the flow of gas from the patient's lungs during the exhalation phase. The mechanical safety system ensures that the patient can breath spontaneously from room air and that the patient pressure is limited to a maximum value in the event of a ventilator malfunction. When activated, the inspiratory hold valve blocks flow between the flow delivery system and the patient. The TBird VELA Ventilator ventilator electronic system is comprised of several subsystems, each containing numerous components. These subsystems include the Graphical User Interface System, the Power System, the Main Controller System, Exhalation, and Flow Delivery systems.

The SoftAire Nasal CPAP System is intended to provide continuous positive airway pressure for the care and treatment of individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. The positive pressure is clinician adjustable within the designated operating range and a clinician adjustable timer will allow timed rise to pressure ("Ramp" mode). The user controls will be limited to an on/off switch and option of using the timed pressure rise. This product is designed to be used with a 22 millimeter (smooth bore) tube air delivery system and user selected nasal mask. This mask is not marketed by Bird.

The Bird Monitoring Interface (BMI) is a stand-alone unit providing a communications interface between the Bird ventilators, 8400STi, VIP and TBird, and patient monitoring systems. Specific interfaces to the Hewlett-Packard Merlin (via Hewlett-Packard's Vuelink proprietary interface) and SpaceLab's PDMS (via Spacelab's Universal Flexport proprietarv interface) are provided as well as a Bird proprietary interface, the General Purpose Computer Protocol (GPCP), for use with other systems. The purpose of the BMI is to deliver ventilator settings, monitored values, alarm information and waveform data to the patient monitoring system. The BMI has no user-operated controls or displays. This device is activated when it is attached to a 9 to 15 Volt power supply and fully functional when attached to the ventilator and patient monitoring system. Indicators are limited to a power indicator. The BMI is installed between the ventilator and the Patient Monitoring System. Connection between the ventilator and the BMI is Fiber Optic. Connection between the BMI and the Patient Monitoring System is RS-232 compatible. The BMI also contains a fiber optic feed-through for connection to Bird accessories, particularly the Bird Graphics Monitor and The Partner Volume Monitor. Serial data is received from the ventilator over the fiber optic interface. The fiber optic signal is converted to an electrical signal by a fiber optic receiver. The electrical signal then routes to a fiber optic driver for connection to an accessory device as described above. The electrical signal also routes to the serial input of the microprocessor where the serial data is converted to parallel data. The parallel data is then stored in random access memory (RAM) for future use. Program code for the microprocessor is contained in an electrically programmable read only memory (EPROM) and is accessed as necessary for program execution. Requests from the monitoring system are received as serial RS-232 signals. These signals are converted to logic levels by RS-232 receivers. These logic levels then are processed bv a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART). The UART converts the serial data to parallel data and then notifies the microprocessor by using the interrupt signal. The microprocessor reads the data from the UART, forming a request packet from the monitor. Following receipt of a complete request packet from the monitor, the processor generates the appropriate response packet from the ventilator data stored in RAM. This data is written to the UART, which converts the data to serial form. The serial data is then converted to RS-232 signals and transmitted to the monitor.
