The Draeger Babylog VN800 supports transitions from oxygen therapy to invasive ventilation for fragile infants.


RT’s Three Key Takeaways:

  1. Protective Ventilation Strategies: The device includes tools for lung and brain protective ventilation to help prevent neurological impairment and lung injury.
  2. Integrated Care Pathways: The system is designed to support a seamless transition from oxygen therapy to non-invasive and invasive ventilation.
  3. Simplified User Interface: The ventilator features glass touch technology and a contemporary design intended to make operation safer and more effective for clinicians.

Draeger Medical has developed the Babylog VN800, a neonatal ventilator designed to support fragile infants through protective ventilation modes. The system aims to assist healthcare providers in managing the entire respiratory cycle, from delivery to discharge.

The device supports a transition from oxygen therapy to non-invasive ventilation and invasive ventilation, according to the company. This flexibility is intended to allow clinicians to apply individual ventilation strategies as necessary for each patient.

The Draeger Babylog comes with a contemporary user interface and design which can help make it more effective and safer for you to operate. The interface uses glass touch technology to support intuitive operation for staff in neonatal intensive care units.

To protect patients during oxygen therapy, the Babylog VN800 allows for the setting of a maximum pressure. This safeguard is designed to prevent undesired pressure rises. The ventilator also supports high flow oxygen therapy with high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) at rates up to 30 LPM for pediatric patients.

The system is designed for lung and brain protection to mitigate the risk of lung injury and neurological impairment. Draeger noted that the ventilator can be integrated into care-centered workplaces to support the complex needs of developing lungs.

The company also highlighted medical device interoperability and cybersecurity as key components of the system. Draeger reports that connecting devices as a system allows for new clinical applications in a secure environment, supporting caregivers at the point of care.
