The HAMILTON-C1 neo ventilator combines invasive and noninvasive modes* with the options of nCPAP and high flow oxygen therapy in a single, compact device. Both the small footprint and the integrated highperformance turbine, which enables the HAMILTON-C1 neo to be operated independently of a compressed air supply, ensure maximum mobility. This makes it an ideal companion for your smallest patients in the intensive care unit, emergency ward, recovery or delivery room, as well as during intrahospital transport.
State-of-the-art invasive ventilation modes, Synchronized noninvasive ventilation, Demand-flow nCPAP modes, High flow oxygen therapy. Independent of compressed air supply, Optional SpO2 and CO2 measurement. Leak compensation in every mode.
More than 4 hours of battery operating time and less than 5 kg in weight.
The HAMILTON-C1 neo provides tidal volumes as low as 2 ml for effective, safe, and lung-protective ventilation even for the smallest patients.1 Both the proximal flow sensor, designed to minimize dead space, and the neonatal expiratory valve were developed specifically for neonates. The precise measurement of pressure, volume, and flow directly at the airway opening ensures the required sensitivity and a quick response time. Your most fragile patients should benefit from better synchronization and less work of breathing as a result.


The care of infants and in particular neonates is hugely challenging. Their unique physiological and developmental needs require specialised, precise treatment. Nobody is more aware of this than SLE, having focused solely on the design and manufacture of infant ventilators since the 1980s.
The SLE6000’s specialist lung-protective features include SLE’s own High Frequency Oscillation Ventilation (HFOV) using proprietary bidirectional jets, Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV), Volume Targeted Ventilation (VTV) and a choice of non-invasive ventilation modes (NIV) including High Flow Therapy.
The SLE6000 sees the introduction of the new Lunar™ interface,which incorporates a low-glare screen (in keeping with the increased emphasis on developmental care) whilst setting a new benchmark in usability.
The SLE6000 is a high-specification, compact infant ventilator that offers a range of conventional modes with additional options for non-invasive ventilation (NIV), high frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV) and high flow oxygen therapy.
SpO2 and etCO2 monitoring options are supported with the addition of plug-in modules. OxyGenie (Auto O2) can also be integrated.


The HAMILTON-C6 represents a new generation of high-end ventilators. The combination of modularity, ease of use, mobility, and advanced features allows you to individualize your patient's ventilation therapy
The HAMILTON-C6 continuous the tradition of its predecessors and comes packed with Intelligent Ventilation technologies. Apart from the advanced ventilation modes ASV® and INTELLiVENT®-ASV, the HAMILTON-C6 offers tools for lung assessment and recruitment maneuvers, continuous cuff pressure management,transpulmonary pressure measurement, state-of-the-art ventilation monitoring and an integrated humidifier control.
State-of-the-art ventilation modes for adult,pediatric, and optional neonatal patients
Adaptive, lung-protective ventilation modes, ASV® and INTELLiVENT®-ASV, IntelliSync+ real-time patient synchronization, High-performance noninvasive ventilation, High flow oxygen therapy, P/V Tool Pro for lung assessment and recruitment, Transpulmonary pressure measurement, Integrated IntelliCuff® pressure controller, Integrated HAMILTON-H900 humidifier control.
Flexible device configuration, The HAMILTON-C6 adapts to your individual user environment. Mount it on a trolley, with the interaction panel on top or in front, or use the shelf-mounted version with the interaction panel on the side or mounted on the pendant system.
For intrahospital transport Thanks to the slender frame, an integrated O2 cylinder carrier, and the high-performance turbine, the HAMILTON-C6 can stay at your patient's side for intrahospital transports.
Ergonomic maneuverability With a compact footprint and high-quality trolley wheels the HAMILTON-C6 is designed for easy handling and maneuverability.

The HAMILTON-G5 is Hamilton Medical’s most modular high-end mechanical ventilator. A large set of standard features and options allows you to tailor the HAMILTON-G5 to your needs. The integrated cuff pressure controller IntelliCuff® continuously monitors and maintains a set cuff pressure in real-time. The Protective Ventilation Tool (P/V Tool Pro) provides a repeatable method to assess recruitability and find the best PEEP based on respiratory mechanics, as well as providing an easy and repeatable method for performing recruitment maneuvers. The HAMILTONG5 also supports transpulmonary pressure measurement.
In addition to many other features, the HAMILTON-G5 includes Hamilton Medical’s standardized Ventilation Cockpit user interface and the intelligent ventilation mode, Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV®).
Provide patient-centered care with fewer resources
Unlike conventional modes, which require you to set many parameters, closed-loop ventilation with Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) requires attention to just one: minute ventilation. Studies show that ASV can be used to ventilate virtually all intubated patients – whether active or passive and regardless of the lung disease.

See all important information at a glance, Monitoring in mechanical ventilation means curves, loops, numbers and more numbers. But what do they tell us about the patient’s condition? The HAMILTON-G5 is the first ventilator to provide a Ventilation Cockpit that visualizes the patient’s respiratory mechanics and ventilatory support in an intuitive way.
Efficiency through innovation
The HAMILTON-G5 lets you optimize clinical resources and skills while reducing cost of ownership and management overhead, and most importantly, it can help you reduce the patient's time on the ventilator. The HAMILTON-G5’s intuitive interface simplifies ventilator setup and translates into easy training and less chance of operator error.
