Revised Performance Evaluation of the Army Volume-Cycled Respirator, Model 2

Abstract

The Army volume-cycled respirator is powered and controlled by two bistable fluid amplifiers. The respirator is designed to either assist or control a patient's ventilation, and it may be pressure-cycled as well as volume-cycled. The power circuit and patient circuit are separated to permit the use of contaminated (not suitable for breathing) compressed gases as the power source.
