Flight 60 Adds 30ml Tidal Volume And Flow Trigger.

Online, March 13, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Flight Medical Innovations Ltd. (TASE - FLGM-M) announces the availability of upgrades for the Flight 60 ventilator.

"This upgrade release is part of our commitment to continuously upgrade the Flight 60" said Mike Burshtine, Flight Medical CEO. "Flight Medical works hand in hand with its customers and will continue to release upgrades and improvements to the Flight 60 while working towards enriching its line of ventilation products".

Mike Burshtine further commented that "The new CE approved features extend Flight 60 abilities and makes its advantages available to a broader patient population. The Flow Trigger together with the Flight 60's flow sensor, increases patient comfort and provides respiratory professionals with an additional synchronization option. The Flight 60 is more versatile with a Tidal Volume as low as 30ml, and is now, more than ever, a relevant contender for pediatric to adult use."

30ml Tidal Volume and Flow Trigger features are CE approved, and are not yet cleared for marketing in the US*.

In addition to 30ml Tidal Volume and Flow Trigger, the new upgrade also adds patient disconnect alarm, different audible prioritization tones and distinguished remote alarm indication. The new SW version features also interfaces in Spanish, French, Portuguese, Polish and Turkish.

Flight Medical Innovations develops, manufactures and markets portable life supporting respiratory ventilators for home care, long term care, hospital, transport, emergency and sub-acute environments. Our vision is to avail every patient with a reliable, easy to use and functionality-rich ventilator.
