your invitation
to make a difference.
Our friend Dr. Forrest M. Birds innovative
Flow Ventilation technology has been saving
the most fragile patients in acute care settings
for many years.
Drawing on his drive and legacy of innovation,
Im very pleased to bring that very same
technology home with the Travel Air.
Im inviting you to join us in advancing the
world of pulmonary care through collaborative
studies, research and continued innovation. By
documenting the benefits we bring to our patients,
we can improve the quality of life for millions who
suffer from pulmonary disease.
I look forward to speaking with you about
how we can make a difference and
change everything together.

Flow Ventilation is saving
and improving lives today
Dr. Forrest M. Bird revolutionized the world of
respiratory care. His innovative Flow Ventilation
technology has been saving lives in adult, pediatric
and neonatal critical care as well as military and
transport applications for nearly 30 years. Today, Flow
Ventilation is helping save and improve lives across
the entire spectrum of respiratory care:
ICU
Flow Ventilation (also known as IPV速
or HFPV)
has been shown to provide improved oxygenation
and lung protection in critically ill patients with ARDS,
without sacrificing effective CO2 removal
and without the drawbacks associated with
conventional ventilation. Flow Ventilation has
unique benefits for patients with severe burns and
inhalation injuries. Recent studies have shown that
Flow Ventilation can dramatically reduce the
length of time that patients may require membrane
oxygenation or ECMO.
NICU / PICU
The unique automatic clutching ability of the
Phasitron速
makes Flow Ventilation ideal for the
especially sensitive lungs of children and neonates.
TRANSPORT / MILITARY
Flow Ventilation with ventilators developed by
Dr. Bird specifically for the military have helped
save numerous soldiers lives during transport from
battlefield medical units to major trauma centers.
The unique characteristics of Flow Ventilation with
fully pneumatic drive units and the Phasitron make it
ideally suited for use in airplanes and helicopters. The
same technology enabled thousands of critically ill
babies to be safely transported from one hospital to
another.
THERAPEUTIC CARE
Utilizing the percussive micro-oxygenation
concept of Birdian Flow, Flow Ventilation
enables improved clearance of secretions while
supporting lung recruitment and gas exchange in a
highly lung-protective manner. These benefits are
available to patients of all ages, from neonates to
elderly COPD patients.
HOME CARE
The newest generation of Flow Ventilation devices
makes the benefits of this unique therapy available
to patients in ambulatory and home-care settings.
Designed for maximum therapeutic effectiveness
combined with ease of use and simple maintenance,
the Travel Air速
sets new standards for home respirator
therapy to improve the quality of patients lives and
help reduce the number of hospital readmissions.
