HAMILTON-C6 provides positive pressure breathing support for adult and pediatric patients, with optional configurations for infants and newborns. It supports ventilation through an endotracheal tube or noninvasively through a mask. Qualified, trained personnel operate it under a physician’s direction.
The system offers controlled and supported ventilation modes, including adaptive support ventilation for adults and children. Its clinical settings include intensive and intermediate care, emergency care, recovery and long term acute care. It can also support ventilated patients during transfer within the hospital.
Connected Controls
Optional control functions allow the ventilator interface to operate a compatible HAMILTON-H900 humidifier and IntelliCuff cuff pressure controller. These functions connect the ventilator to the respective external devices.
