The CAP 700 is an electronically controlled, electrically powered cough assist device designed to provide respiratory assistance through mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E). The device is intended to assist coughing and facilitate airway secretion clearance in adult, pediatric and neonatal patients requiring invasive or non-invasive cough assistance.<\/p>\n
The CAP 700 cough assist is a microprocessor-controlled device that operates by delivering positive pressure to the patient’s airways during the insufflation phase, followed by a rapid transition to negative pressure during the exsufflation phase. This mechanism simulates the natural cough process by generating expiratory airflow to facilitate the mobilization and removal of bronchial secretions.<\/p>\n
A turbine-powered air source generates the positive and negative pressures required for mechanical insufflation-exsufflation therapy, without requiring an external compressed-air supply. Internal pressure and flow sensors are used to monitor relevant respiratory parameters.<\/p>\n
Therapeutic settings, including inspiratory and expiratory pressures, inspiratory and expiratory times, pause time, flow settings and the progressive pressure function (P.Pro and P.Pro Start), are displayed on the device screen. Monitored respiratory parameters include inspiratory tidal volume (Vti), expiratory flow (Fe) and airway pressure (PAW).<\/p>\n
The CAP 700 cough assist is operated through a set of membrane keys located on the front control panel, a multifunction rotary encoder and a manual control.<\/p>\n
The CAP 700 can be powered by an external AC or DC power source. In addition, it incorporates an internal rechargeable battery that can provide up to 60 minutes of operation, depending on the operating settings and battery charge level.<\/p>\n
In the event of an external power supply interruption, the device automatically switches to its internal battery and provides the corresponding power supply and battery status indications.<\/p>\n
The internal battery is recharged when the cough assist is connected to an appropriate external power source, whether or not the device is actively delivering therapy.<\/p>\n
The operator controls are located on the device control panel, which incorporates a 5.6-inch colour LCD screen. The user interface enables the operator to select operating modes, adjust therapeutic parameters and monitor device operation in real time.<\/p>\n
The CAP 700 incorporates an alarm system that provides visual and audible indications of relevant operating conditions and device malfunctions. Alarm messages are displayed on the screen, and audible alarms can be temporarily silenced using the dedicated control, as described in the Operator’s Manual.<\/p>\n
The cough assist provides real-time graphical monitoring of airway pressure through a pressure waveform or pressure bar, together with the display of relevant therapeutic settings and monitored respiratory parameters.<\/p>\n
The CAP 700 is a cough stimulator can be used on adult, child and newborn patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5922,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[68,45],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1797","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-home-care","product_cat-lung-ventilators","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
