VENTMED DF-30V-HM

The VENTMED DF-30V-HM BiPAP is specified where respiratory support must go beyond holding an airway open. Bilevel delivery gives a higher pressure on inhalation and a lower one on exhalation. What the patient feels as support is the gap between them.

Obstructive sleep apnoea requiring high therapeutic pressure is one indication. Central and mixed breathing patterns are another, since effort cannot be relied on and timed breaths become necessary. Chronic hypoventilation forms a third group. Here the problem is carbon dioxide clearance rather than airway collapse. Pressure support with a tidal volume target addresses that directly.

The 30 cmH2O inspiratory ceiling matters for patients who would otherwise exceed the DF-25W-HM range. APCV extends the device furthest towards controlled ventilation. VENTMED positions this mode for critical patients with rapid, shallow breathing and low tidal volume, and states it is mainly for hospital use.

The manufacturer recommends moving to ST mode after discharge and advises against prolonged APCV use, so the mode should be treated as an acute-phase tool rather than a home setting.

Hospital respiratory wards therefore form the primary setting for the full mode range. Sleep laboratories use the device for bilevel titration, working through pressures, trigger, rise time, and rate against recorded response.

Home ventilation follows, typically in ST or Auto S rather than APCV. Optional cloud upload supports review between appointments. Where the optional oximeter is paired, oxygen saturation can be tracked alongside pressure during ward assessment.

All settings require prescription and periodic review by a qualified clinician, and Medigear.uk supplies the full instructions for use with each unit.

Seven Modes in a Single Ventilator

The mode set runs from fixed CPAP through to assisted pressure control, so one platform covers acute ward use and long-term home therapy.

APCV for Rapid, Shallow Breathing

Pressure-controlled delivery aimed at a tidal volume target gives an option for patients whose own breathing pattern cannot achieve adequate ventilation.

Widest Pressure Support in the DF Range

With IPAP rising to 30 cmH2O while EPAP holds at 25, the achievable support per breath exceeds anything else in the series.

Volume Targeting Across a 1000 mL Span

A goal set anywhere from 200 to 1200 mL in 10 mL steps lets the device respond as lung mechanics change through the night.

Manufacturer Guidance on Mode Selection

VENTMED states plainly where APCV belongs and where it does not, which supports safer prescribing rather than leaving mode choice to interpretation.

Backup Rate to 60 Breaths Per Minute

A wide timed range in single-breath increments covers patients with markedly elevated respiratory rates.

Ward-Compatible at 22 dBA

Sponge-free acoustic design keeps a full ventilation platform quiet enough for multi-bed bays and shared bedrooms.

Saturation Displayed Alongside Waveforms

An optional paired oximeter brings SpO2 onto the same 3.5-inch screen as flow and pressure, aiding bedside assessment.

Shared Platform With the Rest of the DF Range

Common chassis, screen, humidifier, and consumables simplify training and stockholding for services running several DF models.

Fleet and Single-Unit Supply Through Medigear.uk

Medigear.uk quotes the VENTMED DF-30V-HM BiPAP for NHS framework volumes and for individual private practice orders on one account.

CPAP, AUTO and Auto S Modes

Fixed pressure, automatic adjustment, and automatic bilevel operation are all selectable.

S, T and ST Ventilation Modes

Spontaneous, timed, and combined modes cover patient-triggered and machine-timed breathing.

APCV Assisted Pressure Control Ventilation

A seventh mode delivers pressure-controlled breaths aimed at a tidal volume target.

Inspiratory Pressure, 4 to 30 cmH2O

IPAP reaches the highest ceiling in the DF series.

Expiratory Pressure, 4 to 25 cmH2O

EPAP is configured independently across its own range.

Pressure Difference, 2 to 10 cmH2O

The permitted spread between pressures sets the support delivered on each breath.

Target Tidal Volume, 200 to 1200 mL

A volume goal is entered in 10 mL steps, and pressure adjusts to meet it.

Backup Rate, 5 to 60 bpm

Timed breaths are set in 1 bpm steps with a tolerance of plus or minus 1 bpm.

Pressure Rise and Fall Time, 100 to 900 ms

Transition speed between pressure levels is adjustable for patient comfort.

I/E Ratio and Sensitivity Control

Inspiratory share runs 10 to 90 percent, with cycling sensitivity tuned across five levels.

Built-In Humidifier

Humidification is integrated into the chassis rather than added as a separate module.

Tubing Heating, 10 to 30 Degrees Celsius

Hose heating is supported across a twenty-degree band, with the heated tube listed as an optional accessory.

3.5 Inch Colour Display

Flow, pressure, outlet temperature, and humidity are shown live, with sleep and AHI reporting available.

TF Card Storage Beyond Five Years

Removable media retains a long therapy record for clinical review.

Optional Connectivity and Oximeter

GPRS, mobile network, cloud platform, and a Bluetooth oximeter can each be specified as options.

Topping VENTMED's DF range, the VENTMED DF-30V-HM BiPAP adds APCV to the six modes carried by the DF-25W-HM and lifts inspiratory pressure to 30 cmH2O, while keeping volume targeting, a 5 to 60 bpm backup rate, and 22 dBA operation. Respiratory services managing acute non-invasive ventilation alongside long-term home patients gain a single platform for both, with VENTMED's own guidance marking APCV as a hospital-phase mode rather than a home setting. Medigear.uk supplies the ventilator with masks, tubing, filters, and an optional oximeter, quoting single units or fleet volumes. Before supply, Medigear.uk will confirm device and packing dimensions in LBH mm, water tank capacity, humidity level range, heated tubing inclusion, UK conformity route, and warranty terms.
