• Can connect and control synchronously on the Hamilton machine.
• Communication port: RS232 to connect to the Hamilton machine.

Humidifi cation is an important part of respiratory care. As a manufacturer of ventilation solutions, our vision is to provide caregivers with technologies that allow them to focus on the important aspects of patient care. When we developed the HAMILTON-H900 humidifi er, we talked to many clinicians to understand what they would improve in conventional humidification. Easier handling of circuits, cables and connections, improved user interfacing, reduction of rain-out, and increased safety were the most requested enhancements. With the HAMILTON-H900, we aim at improving humidifi cation in exactly these areas.

Increased safety  

Less risk of cross contamination
By reducing the need to open the circuit to drain condensate, the
HAMILTON-H900 minimizes the potential for the spread of pathogens associated
with the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
Automatic connection check
The HAMILTON-H900 automatically and individually checks the circuit
connections and alerts you when a tube is not correctly connected. Arrows
light up to indicate which tube needs to be reconnected. Chamber
and circuit types are also automatically detected.
Intuitive alarm messages
The alarms are very visible using self-explanatory on-screen icons on the
clear LCD display.

Automatic water level detection
The HAMILTON-H900 detects high and low water levels and alarms well
ahead of time, before the chamber is empty. Preventing the patient
from being ventilated without humidification optimally protects the
functionality of mucociliary clearance.
Adjustable temperature and humidity settings
As every patient is different and environmental conditions may require
important modifications, the HAMILTON-H900 humidifier allows for manual
adjustment of temperature and humidity settings (temperature gradient).
This allows you to perfectly adapt the humidification therapy to the
individual patient and environmental conditions. You can easily avoid
having too much condensation in the tubing, flow sensor, or flex tube
by adjusting the relative humidity level.

Ergonomic and intuitive user interface
Due to the ergonomic design, the user interface can be easily seen and operated from a standing position, and provides all the information you need at a glance. All settings and related monitoring values are visible without searching through menus. A large LCD display, bright alarm lamp, and audible alarm alert you in the event of a required user interaction. The high-contrast LCD display provides excellent readability, even in direct sunlight.

Pre-assembled and ready to use
An innovation of the HAMILTON-H900 is that it comprises only two components, which are delivered preassembled and ready to use: The pre-assembled wall-heated breathing set including all-in-one connectors,
temperature probe, water refill tube, Y-piece, and water chamber, and the humidifier base with the user interface and the heating plate. This saves time, increases efficiency, and facilitates the handling of the humidifier, as well
as reducing the risk of contamination.
One-hand operation
The unique combination of having all connections on a humidifier in one single breathing set provides the highest level of ergonomics. Operate the humidifier, change breathing circuits, and replace the water chamber with just one hand. With no need to worry about extra cables to connect or disconnect anymore, you only need to slide the water chamber into the humidifier and connect the breathing circuit to the patient.

Remote control from the ventilator
The unique ventilator connectivity option allows control of the humidifier from any compatible ventilator. All controls, monitoring parameters, and alarms are available and can be controlled from the ventilator. Full integration of humidifier monitoring into patient data management systems is also provided.
Together with a compatible ventilator, the humidifier can automatically select the humidification mode (invasive vs. noninvasive) based on the selected ventilation mode.

Fewer connections, less troubles
With the HAMILTON-H900’s advanced breathing circuits with integrated temperature probe, disconnected cables, losing temperature probes, and leaking temperature ports are now a thing of the past.
Color-coded circuits To support an accurate and safe circuit setup, the circuit tubes are color coded: blue inspiratory limb and white
expiratory limb. Low compliance and flow resistance
With decreased flow resistance and low compliance, the breathing sets offer optimal ventilation properties for all applications by ensuring that the set tidal volume and pressure are delivered to the patient. Essential features –
especially for infants. Wall-heated, all-in one breathing circuits
Both limbs of the pre-mounted set integrate the heater wires into the circuit wall. This eliminates the cold interface between heated breathing gas and ambient temperatures and leads to significantly reduced condensation
and rain-out effects in the breathing circuit. Thereby ensuring the delivery of the set level of humidity to the patient.

Single-use breathing sets
The pre-mounted breathing sets can be used up to 28 days for patients
over 10 kg, and include a temperature probe, water refill tube, Y-piece,
and water chamber. The sets are available with dual limbs or a single
limb.
The Hamilton Medical infant breathing sets are specially designed for
even your smallest patients up to 15 kg. The detachable, unheated extension
allows for use in incubators. As the respiratory system of neonatal patients is not fully developed or is at least very sensitive, the HAMILTON-H900 humidifier allows for manual adjustment of temperature and humidity settings. You can perfectly adapt the humidification settings to the special needs of your
small patients and environmental conditions.
Autoclavable breathing sets
The reusable breathing sets offer the same unique design, using a wallheated
inspiratory limb only.
