World's 1st 3D ICU Ventilator Launched

Trivitron, in association with Hamilton Medical AG, a Swiss manufacturer of 'intelligent ventilators' launched Hamilton G5, world's first 3D ICU ventilator in India. The new Hamilton G5 ICU ventilator is focused on improved user interface and high patient safety.

Hamilton G5 with a unique ventilation cockpit is designed for simplified operations and monitoring. The new ventilator scores better in comparison to the conventional modes due to its user-friendly and simple operations. Its innovative ventilation cockpit's dynamic lung displays real time tidal volume, lung compliance, resistance and patient activity in synchrony with actual breaths irrespective of lung mechanics.

Suitable for infants, paediatrics and adult patients, it has an integrated autopilot that automatically applies lung protective strategies through intuitive operation and monitoring, thereby improving patient safety and reducing error chances. It works on a new concept of Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV)—reportedly used for 98 per cent of the ventilatory time of critically ill patients—which is more responsive than conventional modes in adapting to the patient's breathing activity. ASV is also popular as it requires fewer user interactions and gives fewer alarms. The product also has an automated P/V tool that helps in finding the best PEEP, based on respiratory mechanics.

"At Trivitron, our critical care division has partnered with some of the biggest international brands to bring home the latest and best available technology from across the world," said Ravi Srinivasan, General Manager, Trivitron Critical Care.

Graeme D A'Court, Director, Hamilton Medical Asia operations, said "To succeed in a business like ours, it’s important to identify the right partner and share a cohesive relationship. For Hamiliton, India is a very important market. With favorable Government norms and high consumption capacity of the country, we look forward to bring in more technology and products."

Trivitron has been associated with Hamilton for a decade in India and has promoted over 700 ventilators. Hamilton G5 is the first-age 3D ventilator in the country and is now available commercially.
