1. A ventilator system comprising:
- a collapsible reservoir assembly comprising;
an outer reservoir; and
an inner reservoir disposed at least partially within the outer reservoir;
a source of gas pneumatically coupled with the outer reservoir; and
a controller operatively connected to the source of gas, wherein the controller is configured to regulate the transmission of a gas from the source of gas to the outer reservoir in order to compress the inner reservoir and thereby automatically transfer the contents of the inner reservoir.

Abstract
A ventilator system is disclosed herein. The ventilator system includes a collapsible reservoir assembly comprising an outer reservoir and an inner reservoir disposed at least partially within the outer reservoir. The ventilator system also includes a source of gas pneumatically coupled with the outer reservoir, and a controller operatively connected to the source of gas. The controller is configured to regulate the transmission of gas from the source of gas to the outer reservoir in order to compress the inner reservoir and thereby automatically transfer the contents of the inner reservoir.

9. A ventilator system comprising:
-
a collapsible reservoir assembly comprising; an outer reservoir; and an inner reservoir disposed at least partially within the outer reservoir, said inner reservoir pneumatically connectable to a patient, said inner reservoir adapted to retain a patient gas; a source of drive gas pneumatically coupled with the outer reservoir; and a controller operatively connected to the source of drive gas, wherein the controller is configured to regulate the transmission of a drive gas from the source of drive gas to the outer reservoir in order to compress the inner reservoir and thereby automatically transfer the patient gas to the patient. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method comprising;
-
providing an outer reservoir and an inner reservoir disposed at least partially within the outer reservoir; providing a source of drive gas pneumatically coupled with the outer reservoir; and transmitting a selectable volume of drive gas from the source of drive gas to the outer reservoir in order to compress the inner reservoir and thereby automatically transfer the contents of the inner reservoir. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
