    Smoother air flow for

    personalized ventilation
    Add Heliox therapy to your Servo ventilator toolbox

    This document is intended to provide information to an international audience outside of the US.
    More options
    to personalize the flow.

    ICU professionals using Servo ventilators often tell us they


    value additions of new therapy options that are safe, easy
    to use and support advanced personalized ventilation. One
    example is obstructive lung diseases, such as exacerbated
    asthma, bronchiolitis or COPD, where additional targeted
    support may be required.

    Examples of clinical benefits include:


    • Reduction of airway resistance Heliox reduces air flow
    resistance within the bronchial tree in patients with
    obstructive lung disease.1, 2, 3

    • Reduction in the work of breathing The low density of


    Heliox improves expiratory flow and decreases resistive
    work of breathing by converting density dependent
    turbulent air flow within the airways to laminar flow.3

    • Improved delivery of nebulized drugs Heliox improves


    aerosol deposition, with up to 50% more drug delivered,
    primarily because helium’s density is lower than air or
    oxygen. The lower density means less gas turbulence
    Helping patients breathe easier and less aerosol-­particle-impaction loss in the tubing
    To help these patients breathe easier, you now have the and patient airways.2, 4, 5, 6
    option to get Heliox therapy on selected Servo ventilators.
    Heliox is a mixture of helium and oxygen that, due to its
    low density, facilitates laminar flow and minimizes airway
    pressure. This helps reduce the work of breathing (WoB)
    of patients with obstructed airways, such as those with
    asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).3

    Wide-ranging and safe use


    Heliox therapy can be used on a wide range of patients – from
    newborns to adults and for all invasive and non-invasive
    ventilation (NIV) modes, as well as in High Flow therapy.
    In combination with the integrated Aerogen nebulizer,
    it is often used as an adjuvant treatment while waiting for
    the onset of conven­tional pharmacological treatments.

    The Heliox option is available on Servo-u, Servo-u MR and Servo-n* ventilators.

    Safe, reliable and easy to use


    How Heliox therapy promotes
    When switching gas from air and
    better laminar flow with less turbulence.
    O2 to Heliox and back, volume and
    CO2 monitoring as well as flow
    delivery are adjusted automatically
    by the ventilator’s Automatic Gas
    Identification. Heliox delivery is
    confirmed by the presence of the “HeO2” symbol on the
    screen. O2 concentration is easily adjusted between
    21% – 100% and information texts facilitate Heliox
    administration in every mode.

    Over the past 70 years, Heliox has been used as adjunctive cost effective to use. The Heliox therapy, can be added

    been proven to be a safe therapy. Its low density makes
    it more fluid under conditions or turbulence, promoting
    a more laminar flow and helping patients to breathe Key benefits of Heliox with Servo
    more easily. • Minimizes airway resistance due to laminar flow
    • Cost-efficient due to low gas consumption
    New personalized therapy option • Can be combined with all ventilation modes, from
    The Heliox option can be integrated into your Servo invasive to NIV, High Flow therapy and nebulization
    ventilators to provide you with even more therapy options • Quick and easy to switch from Heliox to air
    for more personalized ventilation. You can quickly and and back during ventilation
    easily switch between air and Heliox during ventilation • Adjustable O2 concentration, 21% – 100%
    without going to standby, saving time and improving
    comfort for the patient. * Not available in the neonatal patient category
