Code blue! Support during CPR

CPR ventilation adapts the ventilation settings if you have to perform CPR. It shows the main monitoring parameters and curves relevant to the situation, and supports your workflow with quick access to preconfigurable settings, adequate alarm and trigger adjustment, and a CPR‑timer display.

The popular choice. For 71% of intensive care helicopters

As a transport ventilator for ambulances, helicopters, and more, the HAMILTON‑T1 is a favorite for many rescue crews. According to the HOVER survey (Handover of ventilated Helicopter Emergency Services [HEMS] patients in the emergency roomA​) conducted online amongst air rescue organizations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and Luxemburg in 2019, 71% of those organizations chose the HAMILTON‑T1 for their intensive care helicopter (Hilbert-Carius, P., Struck, M.F., Hofer, V. et al. Nutzung des Hubschrauber-Respirators vom Landeplatz zum Zielort im Krankenhaus. Notfall Rettungsmed 23, 106–112 (2020)1​​).

Don’t just meet standards. Exceed them

Ventilators suitable for pandemics and mass casualties must be versatile and meet various requirements. The HAMILTON‑T1 meets or exceeds all requirements in the AARC Guidelines for Acquisition of Ventilators to Meet Demands for Pandemic Flu and Mass Casualty Incidents (https://www.aarc.org/wp‑content/uploads/2020/03/ventilator‑acquisition‑issue‑paper.pdfB​).
