Launch of range extension of specialist neonatal ventilators
Broadens the Company's reach into non-invasive ventilation
Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global medical technology company, announces the launch of an extension to its range of neonatal ventilators. These are new variants of the SLE6000, Inspiration Healthcare's leading ventilator, that facilitates precise, controlled ventilation for critically ill infants. The products have been launched in the UK, where they will be sold directly and to selected international distributors. The roll out internationally will continue throughout the year.
The three new variants have been specifically designed to meet the specialist healthcare needs of some of the most vulnerable patients across critical care and high dependency care and all offer non-invasive respiratory support, which represents a new area of the market for the Company.
· The SLE6000H includes powerful high frequency oscillation, which actively controls pressure, volume and frequency to help protect the small and fragile lungs of critically ill patients;
· The SLE6000C includes full specification invasive and non-invasive modes, which can be easily adapted depenedent on the needs of the baby;
· The SLE6000N provides a suite of non-invasive, multi-mode respiratory support for less sick babies and those transitioning from respiratory support, enabling more important skin to skin contact between parents and baby.
Each variant also includes the option for Oxygenie®, the Company's automated oxygen control algorithm which is a key element in maintaining appropriate oxygen levels for neonates, helping to improve outcomes.
Neil Campbell, CEO of Inspiration Healthcare Group plc commented: "We're delighted to extend our range of ventilators with this launch, which is further demonstration of our continued commitment to pioneering innovative technologies to improve neonatal healthcare and help save the lives of premature babies around the world. We are excited about the potential of these products around the world."
