Amadeus is a microprocessor‐controlled ventilator with proximal flow measurement. Amadeus replaced the Veolar, the first ventilator released by Hamilton Medical, in 1984. Both devices are discontinued now. Amadeus is succeeded by Arabella in 1995 and Galileo in 1997 with Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV).
