Background and Identification
The Hamilton Medical Arabaella system (Model part number: 158000) date of first use was in 2001. This ARABELLA system provides safe, effective delivery of NCPAP to infants, including those with very low birth weights. The system includes the Monitoring Gas Mixer device along with a Universal Generator, Delivery Circuit, and Cap for single-patient use.
The advantages to this system are no moving parts, quiet operation, small size, minimum dead-space, and decreased resistance to respiration.
To identify the Hamilton Medical ARABELLA, look for the year of manufacture which can be determined from the serial number on the back panel of the Monitoring Gas Mixer. The first two numbers of the part number are the last two numbers of the year it was manufactured. The year of software can also be found during the machine power-up. Switch on power to the Monitoring Gas Mixer, and the Oxygen window will display “888” before showing the software version.
