Does the SAVe II+ IOC Set include the SAVe II+ ventilator?
No. The SAVe II+™ Initial Operating Capability (IOC) Set is an accompanying accessories and consumables package only — the SAVe II+ ventilator device is sold separately. The IOC Set is designed to give units that already have or are acquiring the ventilator everything else needed for immediate operational deployment, including the Rampart™ mounting system, carry case, capnography components, and circuit resupply consumables.
What is the Rampart™ system included in the IOC Set?
The Rampart™ system is Safeguard Medical's dedicated mounting and integration platform for the SAVe II+ ventilator. It is designed to securely attach the ventilator to patient litters, stretchers, and tactical vehicles during transport, preventing unsecured equipment movement during aeromedical or ground MEDEVAC operations. Proper ventilator mounting is a critical patient safety consideration during dynamic transport environments.
What color options are available for the SAVe II+ IOC Set?
The SAVe II+ IOC Set is available in two color options: Black (SKU 25-325-BL) and Coyote Brown (SKU 25-325-CB). Both configurations contain identical components — the color choice affects only the carry case and any color-coded exterior components to match unit or platform standards.
How heavy is the SAVe II+ IOC Set?
The complete SAVe II+ IOC Set weighs 8.35 kg (approximately 18.4 lbs). This weight reflects the full complement of the IOC package including all mounting hardware, consumables, capnography components, and carry case. The SAVe II+ ventilator itself — sold separately — adds an additional 2.8 lbs when deployed.
When should I use the IOC Set versus the SAVe II+ Starter Bundles?
The IOC Set is the recommended first-purchase when fielding the SAVe II+ ventilator for the first time, as it establishes complete operational capability including the Rampart mounting system and capnography integration. The SAVe II+ Starter Bundles (3-patient and 5-patient configurations) are designed for ongoing consumable resupply after initial deployment — they provide the circuit consumables (breathing circuits, HME filters, O2 reservoirs) in scalable quantities without duplicating hardware that was already established in the IOC Set.
Does the SAVe II+ IOC Set include the ventilator itself?
No. The SAVe II+ Initial Operating Capability (IOC) Set is an accompanying accessory kit for the SAVe II+ ventilator — the ventilator itself is not included and must be ordered separately. The IOC Set provides the accessories and consumables required to bring a new SAVe II+ ventilator unit into operational service. Contact Safeguard Medical for current bundled pricing options that include both the ventilator and IOC Set.
What is the SAVe II+ ventilator designed to treat?
The SAVe II+ Simplified Automated Ventilator is a portable mechanical ventilator designed to provide positive-pressure ventilation for adults in acute respiratory failure or during CPR in prehospital, aeromedical, forward operating base, and hospital settings. It is volume-targeted and pressure-limited with adjustable PEEP, tidal volume, and respiratory rate. The IOC Set equips the ventilator for these applications with the operational accessories required for initial patient use.
Can the SAVe II+ IOC Set be procured through military supply channels?
Yes. The SAVe II+ product family is available through Safeguard Medical's government sales channels. Contact Safeguard Medical's US sales team (sales@safeguardmedical.com | +1 855-428-6074) for NSN information, DLA contract vehicle availability, and bulk pricing for unit-level IOC Set procurement. The SAVe II+ has NSN-listed variants and is used across US military medical units.
