The AutoMedX SAVe II+™ (Simplified Automated Ventilator) is a compact, durable, FDA-cleared portable mechanical ventilator designed for prehospital, military, aeromedical, and mass casualty ventilation of adult patients. Weighing 2.8 lbs with up to 9.25-hour battery life, it delivers volume-targeted, pressure-limited ventilation with a single patient-height selection — removing the complexity and risk of manual bagging and freeing the provider to address other critical interventions.

Product Overview
In emergency medical and military prehospital scenarios, manual bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation introduces three critical problems: (1) it ties up one or two providers who cannot simultaneously address other life threats; (2) it is highly prone to operator error — hyperventilation, inadequate volumes, and inconsistent rates are common; and (3) it is physically demanding, making sustained quality ventilation during extended transport or multi-casualty operations impractical. The AutoMedX SAVe II+™ solves all three.
The SAVe II+ is designed for maximal simplicity without sacrificing clinical effectiveness. The operator selects the patient's height — from 4'3" to 6'3" in 3-inch increments — and the device automatically calculates and delivers a tidal volume of 6 mL per kilogram of Ideal Body Weight, the AHA-compliant standard. There is no complex programming, no arterial blood gas titration required at the point of injury, and no specialized training beyond a brief orientation. The SAVe II+ can be deployed on a mask or on a secured airway, requires no compressed gas, and can simultaneously accept supplemental oxygen at up to 12 LPM.
Built for the battlefield and designed for reliability in austere environments, the SAVe II+ meets IEC 60068-2-6 and 60068-2-36 shock and vibration standards with IP24 ventilator and IP67 protective case ingress protection ratings — meaning it can be transported in helicopters, ground vehicles, and rough terrain environments without protective concerns. The 8.25–9.25-hour battery life exceeds the standard 8-hour tactical operations window, ensuring continuous patient ventilation through extended field care and evacuation scenarios without requiring AC power.
Key Operational Use Cases
- Prehospital intubated casualty management: Frees the provider for other critical tasks (hemorrhage control, secondary survey, documentation, IV access) while the SAVe II+ manages ventilation hands-free
- Prolonged casualty care (PCC) / extended field care (EFC): 8.25–9.25 hour battery enables sustained ventilation over the course of extended evacuation timelines without AC power availability
- Aeromedical transport: Compact 2.8 lb weight and IP67-rated case are suited to helicopter EMS; PEEP capability (0–20 cmH₂O) supports altitude physiology management during flight
- Mass casualty / pandemic surge: Simple single-height-selection operation allows personnel with limited critical care training to provide safe, consistent mechanical ventilation during surge conditions when ICU ventilators are scarce
- Field hospital deployment: Long battery life + AC power compatibility enables transition from tactical/generator power to facility power without interruption
SAVe II+ vs. Manual Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilation
| Factor | Manual BVM | SAVe II+ |
|---|---|---|
| Provider hands required | 1–2 providers continuously | Zero — fully automated, hands-free |
| Tidal volume accuracy | Highly variable, operator-dependent | Consistent 6 mL/kg IBW per height preset |
| Rate consistency | Variable — stress and fatigue effects | Programmable 8–30 BPM; consistent |
| PEEP delivery | Not possible without special valve | 0–20 cmH₂O adjustable PEEP |
| Alarms | None | Audible/visual alarms (IEC 60601-1-8); disconnect and blockage detection |
| Oxygen supplementation | Requires inline reservoir and O₂ source | Accepts up to 12 LPM supplemental O₂; 21–100% FiO₂ |
| Sustained use | Fatigue limits quality after minutes | Up to 9.25 hours sustained without quality degradation |
