The secret of harmonious breathing BABYLOG® 8000 PLUS

The product of expertise

and experience
More than 30 years of experience in
neonatal ventilation and a century of
expertise in breathing technology have
gone into Dräger Medical’s Babylog 8000
plus. The result is a neonatal ventilator
that satisfies the extremely high standards
you set in caring for your little patients.

Little patients, great demands

Artificial respiration is one of the most invasive
procedures performed in neonatal intensive care.
So it is particularly important that a ventilator
adapts to your little patient’s requirements, and
not vice versa. The ultimate aim is to achieve a
MT-3686-2003

harmonious balance between patient and

ventilator – where the ventilator not only adapts
to the patient’s needs but also protects the baby
as much as possible from serious sideeffects
such as volutrauma or atelectasis. Another major
consideration from the moment ventilation begins
is how to wean the baby off the ventilator. Here,
the right balance is just as important. Weaning is
enhanced through sensitive synchronization with
spontaneous breathing, which in practice means
adapting to interferences such as tube leaks while
allowing the baby the maximum room to breathe.

Inner qualities not external trappings

For decades Dräger Medical has been supplying
ground-breaking neonatal ventilators. Classic
devices that have proved how invaluable they are
thousands of times over in locations all around
the world. The Babylog 8000 plus is no exception.
Its qualities are not confined to functional form,
clever design or any other external trappings.
The Babylog 8000 plus stands for milestones
in neonatal ventilation – inner qualities your little
patient will benefit from. The optional Pressure
Support and Volume Guarantee functions, for
example, bring a new dimension to ventilation
therapy and facilitate the process of weaning a
baby off the ventilator. Both features contribute
to this ventilator’s most valuable asset – its ability
to promote harmonious breathing.

The advantages of optimum ventilation
If you use a Babylog 8000 plus, you can rest assured you’re giving the little patient
in your care the best possible ventilation. Whatever mode you require – CPAP, IMV,
triggered modes such as SIMV, SIPPV, Pressure Support Ventilation or Volume
Guarantee – the Babylog 8000 plus meets the demands.

The benefits of ergonomic design

An operating concept that is oriented to your needs as a user and a

tailored monitoring system serve to optimize ventilation. This frees you
from many onerous tasks usually associated with device operation so
you can spend more time concentrating on your little patient.

Safe investment
The Babylog 8000 plus is a safe investment now
and in the future because its future-oriented design
enables new modes of ventilation to be retrofitted
as they become available. This ventilator is also an
efficient communicator with its hospital environment.
When equipped with the BabyLink upgrade, the
Babylog 8000 plus is an open system with three
output channels (two analog, one digital) and a
serial interface so there are no limits on the
possibilities of on-going data processing – whether
for documentation, monitoring or research purposes.
