The Refurbished Puritan Bennett LP10 Volume Ventilator is a portable mechanical ventilator designed to provide respiratory support for adult and pediatric patients. Its compact design makes it suitable for hospital-to-home transition, home care, and patient transport where prescribed ventilatory support is required.
The LP10 provides multiple ventilation modes, adjustable tidal volume and breath-rate settings, multiple power-source options, and alarm functions designed to help monitor important ventilation and power-related conditions.
Product Description
The Puritan Bennett LP10 Ventilator is a volume ventilation system designed for patients requiring mechanical respiratory support. It can deliver controlled ventilation according to configured tidal volume and respiratory-rate settings while also supporting patient-triggered breaths and spontaneous breathing depending on the selected mode.
Its portable design and availability of AC power, internal battery, and external 12 VDC battery operation make the LP10 suitable for different care environments, including transportation and transition from hospital to home.

Ventilation Modes
Control Mode
In Control Mode, the ventilator delivers a preset volume at a fixed respiratory rate. This provides controlled mandatory ventilation according to the configured settings.
SIMV Mode
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) provides set mandatory breaths while allowing the patient to breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths.
The supplied specifications also describe low internal resistance during spontaneous breathing.
Pressure Cycle / Pressure-Limited Mode
The Pressure Cycle / Pressure-Limited mode provides time-cycled, pressure-limited ventilation. According to the supplied product information, this mode can be useful for pediatric applications or uncuffed airway leak management.
Adjustable Ventilation Parameters
Tidal Volume
The LP10 provides an adjustable tidal-volume range of:
100 mL to 2200 mL
This broad range supports its specified adult and pediatric applications.
Breath Rate
The respiratory rate can be adjusted from:
1 to 38 breaths per minute
Inspiratory Time
Inspiratory time can be adjusted between:
0.5 and 1.0 seconds
with adjustable increments.
Power Options
One of the important features of the Puritan Bennett LP10 is its range of power options.
AC Power
The ventilator can operate from an AC power source for stationary use.
Internal Battery
The integrated battery provides up to approximately 1 hour of operation according to the supplied specifications.
External 12 VDC Battery
The LP10 can also use a 12 VDC deep-cycle external battery, with the supplied specifications indicating operation of up to 20 hours depending on battery configuration and operating conditions.
This can be particularly useful for transport or situations where mains power is unavailable.
Safety & Monitoring Features
The Puritan Bennett LP10 incorporates several alarm and monitoring functions intended to alert users to potentially important ventilation or power conditions.
Pressure Alarms
The system includes:
- High-pressure limit alarm
- Low-pressure limit alarm
Low-Pressure Apnea
A low-pressure apnea alarm is provided to alert the user to a potentially inadequate-pressure or apnea-related condition according to the ventilator's monitoring system.
Power & Battery Alerts
The ventilator provides alerts related to power failure and battery failure/conditions.
Battery Test Function
A push-button battery test function allows the battery charge level to be checked through the pressure-meter window.
Adult & Pediatric Applications
The LP10 is specified for adult and pediatric ventilation applications.
Its adjustable tidal volume and ventilation modes allow the device to be configured for different patient requirements within its intended operating range.
Potential use environments include:
- Hospital respiratory care
- Hospital-to-home transition
- Home respiratory care
- Patient transport
- Long-term ventilatory support, where clinically prescribed
