The device was designed to reduce the number of cables used, to integrate components into a simpler system, and to help control condensation and “rain-out” within the tubing. Since a cool tube having warm humid air moving through it will form condensation on its walls, the device integrates heating coils within the tubing so that the temperature of the air stays constant throughout its journey. The device can be controlled through a touch interface or can also be connected and operated through a compatible ventilator. The HAMILTON‐H900 comprises only two components, which are delivered preassembled and ready to use: The wall‐heated breathing set including the new all‐in‐one connectors, integrated 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. With no need to worry about extra cables to connect or disconnect anymore, the caregiver only needs to slide the water chamber into the humidifier and connect the breathing circuit to the patient. Due to the ergonomic design, the user interface can be easily seen and operated from a standing position, and provides all the information the caregiver needs at a glance. The large, high contrast LCD display provides excel...
