🏥 Hospitals rely on ventilators to save lives. They’re one of the few systems where performance is directly tied to patient outcomes. But those systems don’t operate in controlled environments. In reality: ☑️ Wall pressure can drop when demand spikes. ☑️ Supply isn’t always stable or centralized. ☑️ One platform is expected to support very different patients: from adults to neonates. And that’s where many designs start to struggle. Not because they can’t reach target performance, but because they can’t maintain it when conditions change. This is the problem we’re addressing with FLATPROP EQIMAX and EQCMAX. The focus isn’t just peak specs. It’s making sure the system stays usable across real operating conditions. What that enables: ✔️ Ventilators that continue delivering flow when inlet pressure drops or fluctuates. ✔️ Systems that can operate with non-ideal or variable supply sources. ✔️ Designs that remain compact, without being oversized to compensate. ✔️ Platforms that support multiple ventilation modes with a single design. ✔️ Stable control under higher backpressure, enabling demanding applications like neonatal ventilation. At system level, this changes the engineering challenge: ✅ Less dependence on ideal infrastructure ✅ Fewer workarounds to compensate for instability ✅ More confidence that the ventilator behaves as designed when it matters most Because in ventilation, reliability isn’t about hitting performance once. It’s about maintaining it, every time, under any condition. Discover more about our 16 mm ultra‑high flow proportional valve: https://lnkd.in/eHfP7jcP #IMI #EngineeringExcellence #Innovation
