Breathe Easy: Philips Debuts the Trilogy100

Royal Philips Electronics just introduced its new Trilogy100 portable at-home life-support ventilator. The lightweight and versatile device marks a milestone in home ventilation. Having presented bi-level positive airway pressure for non-invasive ventilation almost 20 years ago, Philips Respironics offers a broad range of clinically proven solutions intended to support breathing in a variety of settings.

Trilogy100 offers both volume- and pressure-control ventilation for adult and pediatric use. It has features that help caregivers and clinicians administer patient care in the home and alternative care settings, such as skilled nursing facilities. Trilogy100 also has Respironics’ proven bi-level technology with advanced leak compensation, enabling the patient to receive more types of therapy from a single device.

“When developing the Trilogy100 ventilator, we focused on areas for clinicians and caregivers that are most important in delivering home respiratory care – ease of use, versatility and portability,” John Frank, vice president and general manager of home respiratory care for Philips Home Healthcare Solutions, explained.

For easy patient mobility, the ventilator’s compact design includes detachable, internal and external power options, with up to six hours of battery capacity. This allows patients to be as active as possible while using the ventilator to support their breathing.

Trilogy100’s intuitive design allows for hassle-free use.  The easy-to-read, easy-to-navigate screens and clear, concise directions offer simplified patient views. An optional DirectView patient data management software allows clinicians to more efficiently manage ventilation therapy with access to full patient information, including waveforms, trends, usage patterns and summary statistics.

Philips Respironics service and support programs back the Trilogy100, giving access to a 24/7 call center staffed with clinical and technical specialists, in-depth ventilation workshops and educational training resources.
