For additional help with the Hamilton C-1, check out our troubleshooting page.

The Hamilton-C1 was released to the public in 2018 (Model number: 161001) and the equipment must be operated only by trained professionals. The serial number can be identified on the left side of the device on a sticker as represented by number 8 in the graphic below.

It is best known for many capabilities that include but are not limited to high flow oxygen therapy, invasive and noninvasive modes of ventilation, maximum mobility and 4+ hours of battery life while being very compact and convenient for transportation. The Hamilton-C1’s high-capacity battery and independence from compressed air means it is able to ventilate patients during intrahospital transport without need for an external power source. The Hamilton-C1 also has a user interface that is similar to other Hamilton ventilators, making operations easier as the same principles apply. 

Some features attributed to the Hamilton-C1:

• Adaptive, lung-protective ventilation with Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV)
• High-performance noninvasive ventilation (NIV)
• Integrated high flow oxygen therapy
• Speaking valve

The Hamilton-C1 is available in both Europe and the United States. Hamilton Medical also manufactures a wide range of other ventilators such as the Hamilton-G5 which is designed for critically ill patients in ICU settings, or the Hamilton-T1 which is approved for ambulance, helicopter and airplanes. In comparison to those, the Hamilton-C1 is much more compact and suitable for adult, pediatric and neonatal ventilation, making it a viable option for hospital use.
