1. Back round of development Babylog VN500
The Babylog 8000 was launched in 1989 as a revolutionary new ventilator for premature
neonates. It was one of the first microprocessor controlled devices with outstanding accuracy
and already a proximal flowsensor.
The existing Babylog 8000 plus was launched in 1998 and managed to sell over 16,000 units
until today. The Babylog 8000 can be considered as the worldwide standard in neonatal
ventilation. The brand Dräger Babylog is known across the globe and has an excellent
reputation. However, a large part of the installed base of Babylogs 8000 is old and is urgently
needing replacement. Over the past years Dräger was not able to offer a real successor to
this world class product.
With the introduction of the Babylog VN500 we will be able to offer a new dedicated neonatal
ventilator with the name Babylog, which builds on the good reputation of the Babylog 8000.
The conventional ventilation of Babylog VN500 will be extended by the optional applications
Automatic Tube Compensation and Mandatory Minute Ventilation; the optional application
High Frequency Oscillation will be able to cover the complete neonatal range and even will
reach into pediatric HFO application; the human interface will set a new standard in
customization and ease of use and the Smart Pulmonary Display together with many other
process supporting features will enable the Babylog VN500 to be another building block of the
Infinity Acute Care System.
With the release of the Babylog VN500 1st release there will finally be a completely new
neonatal ventilator that will set a new standard in the market and will provide a platform for
future innovations in neonatal ventilation. The development of the Babylog VN500 is based on
current platform system architecture providing full range conventional neonatal ventilation,
support of non invasive respiratory treatment and a powerful High Frequency Oscillation. The
Babylog VN500 is a part of the Infinity Acute Care System and will use the same operating
principle, nomenclature, service concept and modular system architecture as the Evita Infinity
V500.
Babylog VN500 shall be positioned as the preferred intensive care ventilator for the NICU
level 3, providing all levels of respiratory care and part of the Infinity Acute Care System,
supporting bedside (and hospital) processes. It will mainly focus on the developed markets. In
addition it shall be positioned in the private hospitals of emerging markets.
The Babylog 8000 plus will be positioned in NICU level 2 in the developed market.

System overview
Rotary knob
Babylog VN500 is using the new common ventilation mode and parameter
nomenclature, which is already used by many other Dräger devices.
This nomenclature will be used in all future Dräger devices.
For more details please refer to our great ventilation modes booklet,
which is under preparation and will be available very soon !

Context sensitive help functions
Babylog VN500 offers a completely new graphical view to lung function and
ventilation data
The following data are graphically shown:
– compliance
– resistance
– spontaneous breathing activity
– spontaneous and mandatory minute
volume as area of VT over RR
The Smart Pulmonary View can be
calibrated to the patient status
The Smart Pulmonary View has been
developed together with Dr. Blike
from USA
Further developments are planned
and feedback / ideas appreciated !

Definition
Application of high CPAP
Maintain open lung volume
Recruit lung volume to optimise oxygenation.
Rationale
To reduce pressure/volume related injury to lung parenchyma
Decrease the risk of airleak and chronic lung disease
To facilitate the resolution of existing airleak.
