Puritan Bennett Knightstar 355 Bi-PAP

The Puritan Bennett KnightStar 355 BiPAP Ventilator is a blower-based, bi-level positive pressure ventilator system designed to noninvasively treat spontaneously breathing patients in the home, hospital, or institutional setting. It is also used to treat respiratory failure in the hospital setting.

The KnightStar 355 is designed to prevent the upper airway from being obstructed by delivering air pressure through an interface (mask or nasal pillows) using one of three different modes; Inspiratory/Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (I/E PAP), Assist Control (A/C), or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP).

I/E PAP mode allows you to breathe at separate inspiratory and expiratory pressure levels, while CPAP mode provides a single, continuous breathing pressure. These pressure levels are set by your clinician so that they provide enough pressure to keep the airway open while maintaining a comfortable breathing effort while you sleep. A/C mode ventilates patients just as I/E PAP mode with the additional features of a settable backup ventilation respiratory rate and I:E ratio.
