The Problem with Today’s Non-Invasive Ventilation
One of the keys to successful NIV ventilation is a well-fitting mask. Not all faces are the same, so mask selection can be troublesome, especially when mask options are limited by the type of ventilator being used. Often, improperly fitted masks leak around the face making it harder for the patient to breathe and harder for the ventilator to meet the respiratory demands of the patient. To solve the problem, clinicians tighten the mask to alleviate the leak. While they may have made breathing easier for the patient, they’ve created a new problem of skin irritation and injuries, also affecting the patient’s comfort and increased expiratory resistance and CO2 rebreathing.
The Solution: The Panther 5N NIV Ventilator
The Panther 5N was designed to provide the best patient experience from neonates to adults. The ventilator can be used with any mask, even vented masks, allowing the Respiratory Therapist to select a mask based on the patient’s needs and comfort rather than the ventilator’s requirements.
Even when high leaks are present, the Panther 5N’s proprietary algorithm, state-of-the-art proportional flow valve and powerful built-in dual-stage blower can handle the demand. The Panther’s innovative technology minimizes trigger delays and reliably detects weak or ineffective patient efforts. The ventilator immediately responds by delivering higher pressure, high flows and precise breaths to the patient, reducing their effort and enhancing their comfort.
The Panther 5N ventilator provides optimal synchrony, unmatched leak compensation and patient comfort, all keys to successful NIV.

USER FRIENDLY
The user-friendly interface features a 15” touchscreen with large, clear numbers and intuitive menus. Clinicians have quick access to shortcuts and essential monitoring features.
ADVANED FEATURES & FUNCTIONALITY
Packed with advanced features and functionality, the Panther 5N also provides HFOT and invasive ventilation to support any respiratory scenario. NIV modes include PCV, S/T, AVAPS and CPAP, as well as oximetry, capnography and integrated pneumatic and Aerogen nebulizers. Invasive modes include A/C-PC, S/T, A/C-PRVC. The Panther 5N has precise control flow up to a max of 340 LPM, delivering immediate trigger response. Tidal volumes range from 2 – 2500 mL. The Panther 5N utilizes NIV IPAP/EPAP terminology and displays easy-to-read graphs and trends to assist in patient monitoring and NIV success.
RELIABLE WITH LITTLE MAINTENANCE
The Panther 5N was built for reliability, ease of use and little maintenance. No yearly preventative maintenance or costly proximal flow sensor replacement is required. Trained hospital staff can perform any necessary services to prevent prolonged downtime. The Panther 5N comes with a two-year warranty and a 10-year or 50,000-hour turbine warranty. The vent’s low-cost replacement parts include an inlet filter to be changed after each patient, as well as a battery and oxygen sensor that only need replacement every two years. All of these replacements can be done in-house in minutes.
