Intelligent Ventilation. Features and technologies

All the handy helpers. Made for intelligent ventilation

Below you can find an overview of the technologies and features that are available on our ventilators. Not all features are available in all markets or on all ventilators, so please contact your local supplier for more details.

ASV® ‑ Adaptive Support Ventilation®. For adaptation around the clock

The ventilation mode ASV continuously adjusts the respiratory rate, tidal volume, and inspiratory time breath by breath depending on the patient’s lung mechanics and effort ‑ 24 hours a day, from intubation to extubation.

INTELLiVENT®‑ASV. For bedside assistance

The intelligent ventilation mode INTELLiVENT‑ASV continuously controls the ventilation and oxygenation of the patient.

It sets the minute ventilation, PEEP, and Oxygen based on the targets set by the clinician, and on physiologic input from the patient.

IntelliSync®+. For patient‑ventilator synchrony

Continuously analyzing waveform shapes hundreds of times per second allows IntelliSync+ to detect patient efforts and cycling immediately, and initiate inspiration and expiration in real‑time.

IntelliSync+ applies to invasive and noninvasive ventilation, regardless of the ventilation mode.

P/V Tool®. For lung assessment and recruitment

You can use the P/V Tool to assess lung recruitability and determine the recruitment strategy.

Additionally, you can use it to perform a sustained inflation recruitment maneuver and measure the increase in lung volume.

Transpulmonary pressure monitoring. For inside insights

Transpulmonary pressure monitoring enables optimization of PEEP, tidal volume, and inspiratory pressure (Baedorf Kassis E, Loring SH, Talmor D. Should we titrate peep based on end‑expiratory transpulmonary pressure?‑yes. Ann Transl Med. 2018;6(19):390. doi:10.21037/atm.2018.06.35104​).

Use it in combination with the P/V Tool to assess lung recruitability and perform recruitment maneuvers.

Remote humidifier access. For your convenience

The unique ventilator connectivity option enables you to operate the HAMILTON‑H900 humidifier (The HAMILTON-H900 is not approved for use during transport.e​) directly from the ventilator's display. You can access all the controls, monitoring parameters, and alarms, and adjust them as needed.

The humidifier can also select the humidification mode automatically (invasive, noninvasive, or high flow) based on the selected ventilation mode.

Integrated nebulizer. For additional treatments

The integrated pneumatic nebulizer is fully synchronized with the timing of inspiration and expiration.

An integrated, synchronized Aerogen nebulizer is available as an option (Not available in all marketsa​, Only available for HAMILTON‑C6/G5/S1b​).

The delivery of a fine mist of drug aerosol particles helps you reverse bronchospasm, improve ventilation efficiency, and reduce hypercapnia (Dhand R. New frontiers in aerosol delivery during mechanical ventilation. Respir Care. 2004;49(6):666‑677. 100​, Waldrep JC, Dhand R. Advanced nebulizer designs employing vibrating mesh/aperture plate technologies for aerosol generation. Curr Drug Deliv. 2008;5(2):114‑119. doi:10.2174/156720108783954815101​).

Integrated IntelliCuff®. For controlled cuff pressure

IntelliCuff continuously measures and automatically maintains the user‑set cuff pressure of an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube in real‑time (IntelliCuff Auto mode not available in all markets.c​).

High flow nasal cannula therapy. For O2 fanatics

High flow nasal cannula therapy (Also known as high flow oxygen therapy. This terminology can be used interchangeably with high flow nasal cannula therapyf​) is available as an option on all our ventilators. In just a few steps, you can change the interface and use the same device and breathing circuit to accommodate your patient’s therapy needs.

CPR ventilation. For lifesavers

CPR ventilation adapts the ventilator settings during rescucitation. It supports the CPR workflow with quick access to preconfigurable settings, adequate alarm and trigger adjustment, and CPR‑timer display.

The main monitoring parameters and curves relevant to CPR ventilation are also displayed.

Speaking valve. For chatterboxes

The Speak Valve option gives tracheostomized patients a voice, and allows them to swallow even while receiving respiratory support.

The ventilator's monitoring, triggering, and alarm management are adjusted for compatibility with speaking valves in pressure‑controlled modes (PCV+, SPONT, PSIMV+).

Volumetric capnography. For CO2ntrol freaks

Proximal flow and CO2 measurement enables our ventilators to perform up‑to‑date volumetric capnography, which provides an important basis for the assessment of ventilation quality and metabolic activity.

Vent Status panel. For those who are ready to wean

The Vent Status panel displays six parameters related to the patient’s ventilator dependence, including oxygenation, CO2 elimination, and patient activity.

A floating indicator moving up and down within each column shows the current value for a given parameter.

Quick Wean. For the independent‑minded

Quick Wean is a feature of the INTELLiVENT‑ASV mode that provides continuous dynamic monitoring and control of patient conditions to evaluate the patient’s readiness for extubation.

Automated SBTs. For the spontaneous ones

The automated spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) are part of the Quick Wean function in the INTELLiVENT‑ASV mode and give you the option of conducting fully controlled SBTs.

Dynamic Lung panel. For visual people

The Dynamic Lung panel shows you a graphic real‑time representation of the following important monitoring data:

  • Compliance and resistance
  • Patient triggering
  • SpO2
  • Pulse rate

Configurable loops and trends. For statisticians

The ventilator can display a dynamic loop based on a selected combination of monitored parameters. With the trend function, you can see trending information displayed for the monitoring parameters and time frame of your choice. 

The device continually stores the monitored parameters in its memory, even when in Standby.

Pulse oximetry. For SpO2 enthusiasts

The SpO2 option offers integrated noninvasive SpO2 measurement with the data displayed conveniently on your ventilator.

We also offer a comprehensive portfolio of SpO2 sensors.

High‑performance noninvasive ventilation. For mask-wearers

The noninvasive ventilation modes deliver pressure‑supported, flow‑cycled spontaneous breaths (NIV and NIV‑ST mode) and pressure‑controlled, time‑cycled mandatory breaths (NIV‑ST).

Compared to ventilators using compressed air, our turbine‑driven ventilators are capable of providing higher peak flow rates. This guarantees optimal performance even with large leaks.

nCPAP modes. For the little ones

With the nCPAP mode, the patient is supported with a continuous positive airway pressure. In our flow‑controlled devices, the desired CPAP value is set via the respiratory gas flow. In order to compensate for any leakage that occurs, e.g. via the mouth or at the nose, the LeakAssist function can be activated. A predefined pressure can then be targeted with additional respiratory gas flow.
