MAQUET FLOW-i  is now available with optional Automatic Gas Control (AGC). The new AGC option provides staff with an advanced prediction tool for improved efficiency and ease of use in the administration of anesthetic gas delivery. The unique AGC prediction tool with speed selection allows the user to forecast a time to reach the end-tidal agent target level while AGC automatically controls the gas delivery more efficiently than conventional anesthesia systems. AGC smoothens the anesthesiologist’s workflow by freeing up time that can be devoted to other aspects of the clinical care of the patient. MAQUET FLOW-i  with AGC improves the oxygen delivery control during anesthesia by a single FiO2 setting which efficiently provides the specific oxygen concentration to the patient. Furthermore, the standard O2GUARD reduces the risk of hypoxia.

Thales is presenting the expansion of their portable detectors range, innovative solutions for digital mobile X-ray, surgical solutions as well as the new generation GigE camera for conventional image chain. The new products include the Pixium Portable 3543 EZ which is now available with a Gadox scintillator. A new detector, Pixium Portable 3543 EZh-C with integrated handle mechanics, will also complete the range. In addition, Pixium 2121S-A is the new flat panel for surgical C-arms and a true alternative to conventional image chains. Its new generation CsI and innovative pixel design brings unrivalled image quality at low dose. Compact design and new software features provide critical advantages for simplified integration. Finally, TH 8770, the new generation GigE Vision CCD camera based on Thales experience in conventional X-ray imaging, is designed for a perfect match with X-ray image intensifers.

This turbine ventilator will be used at hospitals in parts of the world that do not always have access to air from wall outlets. Throughout the entire development project Maquet worked together with physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists from the regions where the product was expected to be used, for example, India, South Africa, Japan and the USA, to ensure a great user experience. An addition to the SERVO line, the SERVO-air wall gas-independent ventilator can be used in the ICU as well as in intermediate care, for invasive and noninvasive ventilation. Built-in features like context-based guidance, on-screen information and dynamic images can guide the users in applying advanced ventilation every day. The turbine offers a high flow and pressure capacity, which is crucial to provide comfortable ventilation to sick and hard to ventilate lungs. At the same time, it is surprisingly quiet, which helps keeping noise levels down. Thanks to the battery powered turbine and hot-swappable batteries, SERVO-air is set to follow the patient easily throughout the hospital. SERVO-air is also a strong choice for the growing trend towards non-invasive ventilation (NIV), reducing the need for separate dedicated NIV ventilators.

The Hamilton-T1 with neonatal option is a high-end transport ventilator that provides the best possible ventilation therapy for the smallest and most vulnerable patients. During transport, the Hamilton -T1 delivers the same performance as a fully featured NICU ventilator at the bedside.  Supporting tidal volumes of just 2 ml, the Hamilton -T1 uses a robust neonatal flow sensor that accurately measures pressure, volume, and flow proximal to the patient. This guarantees the required sensitivity and response time, and prevents dead space ventilation. Therefore, the patient is better synchronized and the work of breathing (WOB) is reduced. The new neonatal expiratory valve can balance even the smallest differences in pressure and offers the neonate the possibility to breathe spontaneously in each phase of a controlled breathing cycle.  In addition to all modern neonatal ventilation modes, the Hamilton -T1 offers a new generation of nCPAP.  In the new nCPAP-PC (pressure control) mode, only the desired CPAP target value for the patient is defined and the ventilator automatically and continuously adapts the required flow to the patient’s condition and possible leaks. Thanks to the demand flow technology, the patient will receive only as much flow as is necessary to obtain the set CPAP target. This reduces WOB, reduces the need for user interventions and ensures optimal leak compensation.
