The RTX Respirator is an external high and low frequency respirator, which controls both phases of respiration. It consists of a lightweight flexible cuirass, tubing with a keypad and display screen. The Cuirass is available in eleven (11) sizes for various patient populations and sizes. The Cuirass contains a disposable seal and is attached to the patient via Velcro and nylon straps. The RTX Respirator ventilates by decreasing and then increasing the pressure within the cuirass. The negative pressure creates expansion of the chest bringing about inspiration. The positive phase creates positive pressure on the chest and therefore creates expiration.
