Metran Humming Vue

Name: Metran Humming Vue – Paediatric high-frequency oscillatory ventilator

Technical characteristics: High-frequency paediatric ventilator (HFO) generating precise volume using patented piston technology. Produces exact controllable tidal volume with 0.2 mL resolution, precise 13-micron piston control, ensuring stable amplitude regardless of changes in lung compliance.

Target patient: Very low birth weight premature infants, children requiring assisted ventilation, particularly those with fragile lungs requiring precise CO2 management.

Clinical applications: High-frequency oscillatory ventilation, assisted-controlled ventilation, intermittent synchronised ventilation, non-invasive modes, advanced modes, complete treatment of patients from the neonatal stage to the weaning phase without changing ventilators.

Specific features: Powerful, precise piston technology without a diaphragm. Fine adjustment of tidal volume with 0.2 mL resolution. Stable maintenance of mean airway pressure regardless of changes in oxygenation. Programmable automated lung recruitment. Sync+ synchronisation with patients’ spontaneous breathing. 15-inch colour touchscreen interface with colour-coded alarms.

Patient benefits: Drastic reduction in lung injury compared to conventional ventilation with minimal alveolar pressure variations. Optimal CO2 management in critically ill very low birth weight infants. Complete adaptability to different stages of lung development without changing machines.

Clinician benefits: No need to readjust parameters after changing settings. Independent management of oxygenation (PaO₂) and ventilation (PaCO₂). Monitoring of time-related trends and logs for easy access to information. Multiple ventilation modes for comprehensive treatment of patients from the neonatal stage to weaning.
