Background and Identification

It is designed for use by severe respiratory illnesses. Their primary purpose is to provide optimal lung ventilation. As a source of continuous or short-term ventilatory support it is appropriate for institutional, homecare, military field hospitals and transportation settings. The LTV Series Ventilator has a lot of models and the model that I am introducing is LTV 1000 ventilator. The model of LTV ventilator is usually appearing on top right corner. It is easily identifiable by its size since it is not heavy.
