The Leoni Plus ventilator was recently upgraded in 2021 by Lowenstein Medical, with new hardware and software, and the upgraded version cannot be appropriately connected with the INOmax DSIR as instructed in the INOmax DSIR Operators Manual (OM). The INOmax DSIR OM requires the use of a one-way valve with the Leoni Plus ventilator during High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation mode and warns that use of the device without a one-way valve may result in high Nitric Oxide (NO) delivery.
