| + | |
|---|
| + | Hamilton Medical is a manufacturer of medical ventilators that was founded in 1983. A ventilator is a machine that provides mechanical ventilation by moving breathable air into and out of a person’s lungs to deliver breaths to a patient who is breathing insufficiently or physically unable to breathe. Modern ventilators are computerized microprocessor-controlled machines that are primarily used in intensive care medicine, home care, emergency medicine, and anesthesiology. Ventilators are sometimes called “respirators,” though medical terminology uses the word “respirator” to refer to a protective face-mask. |

| + | The Hamilton C2 ventilator is an electronically controlled pneumatic ventilator that uses an integrated air compressing system. It uses AC or DC power, and has a battery backup in the case of unstable power. The pneumatic system delivers gas, and the electrical system controls the pneumatics, alarms, and power distribution. The Hamilton C2 ventilator can be used on adults, pediatrics, infants, and neonates. It complies with the IEC 60601-1-2 EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Collateral Standard, and should not be used in the same environment as MRI equipment. |
