COVIDIEN Puritan Bennett 560 Ventilator Analysis Report

Device Identification

The main product examined in the visuals is a portable mechanical ventilator device used for medical purposes. The device is designed to assist patients experiencing respiratory distress with breathing or to fully take over the respiratory function. Alongside the device, there is a specially designed bag for carrying it, a power cable, and breathing circuits (hoses) that provide air delivery to the patient.

Brand and Model

The logos and texts on the product’s front panel have been clearly analyzed. The device’s brand is identified as COVIDIEN, and the model as Puritan Bennett 560 (PB560). The model name is clearly written on the front face of the device, just above the screen, as “Puritan Bennett 560 Ventilator”. No assumptions have been made; the text in the visual has been reported with 100% certainty.

Authenticity Assessment

Upon examining the device’s casing, button structure, print quality of the brand logo, and the gray-navy color combination specific to the “Puritan Bennett” series, the product is assessed to be an original COVIDIEN production. No visual evidence of it being a counterfeit or aftermarket product has been found.

Areas of Use

The Puritan Bennett 560 is a compact ventilator designed for use in both home care and clinical settings (hospitals). It provides invasive (e.g., tracheostomy) or non-invasive (via mask) ventilation support to meet the respiratory support needs of adult and pediatric patients. The product is suitable for continuous use during the transfer of patients with limited mobility or at the bedside.

Quantity Information

The total number of parts included in the visuals is as follows:

• 1 COVIDIEN Puritan Bennett 560 Main Unit
• 1 Electrical/Power Cable (black, coiled)
• 1 Respiratory Circuit (Hose set) mounted on/used with the device
• 1 New/unopened Respiratory Circuit Set in a sealed bag
• 1 Device Carrying Bag (Gray colored, with shoulder strap)

General Condition and State

Upon examining the device’s external casing and visual integrity, it was observed that the product’s general condition is clean and well-preserved. No deep cracks, heavy impacts, or fragmentation that would impede use are visible on the casing. It is understood that the device falls into the “used” (second-hand) category, but it has been well-maintained.

Physical Deformation

No fading, discoloration, or yellowing has been detected on the device casing (housing). The gray plastic surfaces retain their original color. There are no noticeable impact marks on the corners and edges. However, it should not be overlooked that, due to the device being a used product, there might be micron-level superficial hairline usage marks; there is no prominent deformation in the photos.

Mechanical Components

The control buttons on the front panel (Power, Menu, Alarm Mute, Confirmation, and Navigation buttons) are complete and in place. The symbols on the buttons are not erased and are legible. The device’s hose input ports (inspiration and expiration outlets) appear sturdy, and the green hose adapters are fully seated. The zippers and strap hooks (metal clips) of the carrying bag appear sturdy.

Electronic Components and Screen Analysis

The device is observed to be in the off position in the visuals, therefore the screen is not displayed in a working state. Upon examining the physical condition of the LCD screen, no panel fault indications such as cracks, chips, or ink bleeding (black spots) are visible on the glass. The screen surface is clean. Electronic functionality (whether it powers on) cannot be confirmed from the visuals.

Accessories and Consumables

The accessories included with the product have been examined in detail:

• Carrying Bag: A sturdy, gray-colored carrying bag resembling the original design, fully encasing the device and featuring a shoulder strap, is present. The bag has a transparent pocket for placing identification/labels.
• Respiratory Circuits (Hoses): Two separate hose sets are visible in the visual. The first set is attached to the device and appears used. The second set is in a sealed, transparent package and is in an unused condition. The green connectors and a user manual/paper inside the sealed package are clearly visible. This is a significant hygienic advantage for the buyer.
• Power Cable: A standard black power cable is present and neatly coiled with a rubber tie. No outer insulation peeling or breaks are visible on the cable.

Battery Status

The Puritan Bennett 560 model is a device with an internal battery. However, since the battery is embedded within the casing, it is not possible to comment on the physical condition (e.g., swelling) or charge capacity of the battery from the visual.

Label Information

On the front face of the device, besides the brand and model information, there are icons for LED indicators (AC power, Battery status, Alarm indicators) on the left side. A “Part No” inscription and a barcode are partially visible on the paper inside the sealed hose set package, but the full number is not at a readable angle.

Potential Malfunction Risk

During the examination conducted through the visuals, no risk factors requiring immediate intervention or posing a life threat (burns, cracks, exposed cables) were observed on the device. The robustness of the hose connection points (green parts) suggests a low risk of air leakage. The clean condition indicates that the device has been used carefully. Nevertheless, as the device is a medical product, performing biomedical calibration and filter checks before use is a standard procedure.

Documents

No official invoice, warranty certificate, or service report for the product is present in the visuals. In the last visual, a leaflet (prospectus/manual) containing information regarding the product’s use or installation is visible inside the sealed hose package.

Conclusion and Summary

The examined COVIDIEN Puritan Bennett 560 ventilator is a physically undamaged, cosmetically very clean set presented with all its essential components (bag, power cable). The presence of an unopened spare respiratory circuit, in particular, is an important detail that enhances the product’s value. According to visual evidence, the device is in a physical condition ready for use or installation.
