Medline Industries is distributing the Flight 60T ventilator, a turbine-driven, portable device manufactured by Flight Medical designed to ventilate high-acuity patients across various clinical environments.

The ventilator is intended for use in intensive care units (ICU), intrahospital transport, long-term care, and emergency medical services (EMS). Weighing between 12.1 and 13.2 pounds depending on the specific model, the device is designed to be lightweight for mobile care.

The Flight 60T allows clinicians to transition between invasive and noninvasive ventilation therapies using the same circuit. For emergency medical services (EMS) providers, the device is designed for use in ambulances and with stretchers. It includes five customizable preset ventilation options and an activity log that retains up to 1,000 downloadable events.

In home healthcare settings, the ventilator features a 7-inch bright touchscreen to improve readability. The system provides waveforms, loops, and 72-hour trending for clinical interpretation. Clinicians can also select between square or decelerating waveforms based on individual patient needs.

To support extended transport times, the Flight 60T offers eight hours of battery-powered operation, which can be extended to 10 hours when used in power save mode. The system also features a hot-swappable battery.

The device is designed for a low cost of ownership over a five-year period. According to product specifications from Medline, preventive maintenance is not required for up to five years or 25,000 hours of use.

The Flight 60T is available with a range of ventilation modes, including multiple noninvasive options, to adapt to different clinical requirements.
