Σύνοψη

The objective of this project was to design and manufacture a low cost, standalone data logger that will collect data from the Puritan Bennett 840 ventilator. The system should consist of a board offering facilities for connection with the computer through the USB and with the Puritan Bennett 840 ventilator through an RS-232. The connection between the PC and the Puritan Bennett 840 ventilator will be wireless.
The Puritan Bennett 840 Ventilator System ventilators is responsive to patients and offers superior comfort, delivering sensitive, precise breaths to critically ill neonatal through adult patients.
Patients are usually placed on a ventilator because of a medical problem that makes it hard for them to breathe well on their own. While on the ventilator, the body is able to rest so that it can heal. The ventilator can help with breathing or totally breathe for the patient. The ventilator is a life supporting device for providing mechanical ventilation to patients and it is used in the Intensive Care Unit (lCU). Furthermore due to its monitoring capabilities it provides data about the physiological parameters of the lungs which are extremely important for monitoring the status of the lungs.
