AHP300™ Transport Ventilator
Invasive and non-invasive support for infant (5 kg and up) to adult patients, with a flexible array of ventilation options including Pressure Control/Volume Control ventilation, SIMV/Assist Control spontaneous breath support, and stand-alone CPAP/BiLevel support.
Key Comparison Factors for Transport Ventilators:
| Feature | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Size & Weight | Lightweight and compact designs are preferable for portability. |
| Battery Life | Longer battery life (typically 4–10 hours) is essential for extended transports. |
| Ventilation Modes | Look for support of both invasive (e.g., volume control) and non-invasive modes (e.g., CPAP, BiPAP). |
| Oxygen Source Compatibility | Must support external O₂ tanks and/or hospital wall supply. |
| Monitoring & Alarms | Built-in display and alarms for pressure, volume, apnea, etc., are crucial for patient safety. |
| Durability | Should be rugged for prehospital (ambulance, air transport) use. |
| Ease of Use | Intuitive UI and quick setup help in emergency settings. |
| Air Compressor Availability | Some models include internal turbines; others rely on external gas sources. |
| Cost | Varies significantly by feature set; often ranges from $5,000–$30,000+. |
Example Comparison of Popular Models (As of 2024):
| Model | Battery Life | Ventilation Modes | Weight | Turbine/Compressor | Special Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hamilton-T1 | ~9 hours | Full ICU-level modes | ~6.5 kg | Built-in turbine | MRI-compatible, waveform display |
| Zoll EMV+ | ~10 hours | Basic + advanced modes | ~4.5 kg | Internal compressor | US military-approved, rugged build |
| Philips Respironics Trilogy 202 | ~6 hours | Invasive & non-invasive | ~5 kg | Internal blower | Auto-adaptive NIV, home + transport use |
| Draeger Oxylog 3000 plus | ~4–6 hours | Limited ICU modes | ~7.2 kg | Pneumatic | Reliable in EMS environments |
| LTV 1200 (Vyaire) | ~8 hours | Invasive & NIV | ~5.5 kg | Internal turbine | Pressure/volume support, transport case |
