Hamilton Medical received the CE Mark and is releasing in the EU the HAMILTON-T1 transport ventilator with neonatal option. The system offers the same capabilities found in full featured neonatal ICU ventilators, but in a mobile format for use in a variety of situations.
The system is based on the HAMILTON-T1 ventilator, but with hardware and software modifications to suit neonatal patients, including support for tidal volumes down to 2 ml. The system continuously measures the pressure, volume, and flow proximal to the patient, constantly adjusting the flow to prevent dead space ventilation and synchronizing with natural breathing cycles. The new nCPAP-PC (pressure control) mode lets clinicians set a CPAP target, with the system then automatically adjusting the flow to compensate to the patient’s unique status.
Thanks to the demand flow technology, your patient will receive only as much flow as is necessary to obtain the set CPAP target. This reduces WOB, reduces the need for user interventions and ensures optimal leak compensation. You will also require less oxygen for transport and noise caused by the ventilator decreases distinctively.
With approvals and certificates for most types of transport and situations the HAMILTON-T1 is an ideal escort for your tiniest patients, reliable everywhere, both inside and outside the hospital, in the air as well as on the ground. The built-in high-performance turbine makes it completely independent of compressed air, gas cylinders or compressors. This saves weight and space and even noninvasively ventilated neonates can be transported over long distances. The combination of a built-in and an optional hot-swappable battery provides a battery operation of more than 9 hours. This can be extended indefinitely with additional hot-swappable batteries.
