Hamilton-C2 ICU Ventilator Wins Medical Design Excellence Award

Cannon Communications has announced that leading medical equipment developer Hamilton Medical and RKS have been awarded a Medical Design Excellence Award for the HAMILTON-C2 ICU Ventilator.

The Medical Design Excellence Awards competition is the only awards program that exclusively recognizes contributions and advances in the design of medical products.

Entries are evaluated on the basis of design and engineering features that improve healthcare delivery, change traditional medical attitudes or practices, and provide enhanced benefits to the patient.

The innovative HAMILTON-C2 features Hamilton's unique "Ventilation Cockpit" with an intelligent touch-screen interface that gives operators a quick, at-a-glance, dashboard display that provides operators exactly the information they need and helps them focus on what's important.

The approachable and intuitive display of the C2 tilts to accommodate different operator positions.

With inbuilt batteries and weighing less than 21 pounds the C2 can accompany a patient anywhere within the hospital, independently of central gas and power supplies.

Patients don't have to be disconnected for transport, increasing patient safety and comfort, while at the same time reducing operator workload.

The HAMILTON-C2 was developed with a keen awareness that emotions can play an important role in patient recovery.
