HAMILTON-T1 Quick Guide
This Quick Guide is intended as a useful reference for ventilation of adult and pediatric patients. It does not replace the clinical judgment of a physician or the content of the HAMILTON-T1 Operator’s Manual, which should always be available when using the HAMILTON-T1 ventilator. Some functions are optional and not available in all markets.
