The Refurbished Dräger Babylog VN500 is an advanced intensive-care ventilator designed specifically for premature newborns, neonates, and infants. It combines conventional mechanical ventilation with High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) to provide flexible respiratory support for fragile neonatal lungs.
The system supports tidal volumes from 2 mL to 100 mL in the neonatal setting and provides a respiratory-rate range of 2–150 breaths per minute.
Product Description
The Dräger Babylog VN500 is designed for neonatal and infant intensive-care environments where precise respiratory support is required. It supports invasive and non-invasive ventilation and incorporates advanced technologies for managing leaks, monitoring pulmonary mechanics, and delivering high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.
Its HFO, HFO-VG, Sigh, Smart Pulmonary View, and leak-compensation capabilities make the VN500 a versatile platform for neonatal respiratory care.

High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV)
One of the key capabilities of the Babylog VN500 is High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV).
HFOV delivers rapid oscillatory gas movements at small tidal volumes. This approach is intended to provide respiratory support while limiting exposure to larger conventional tidal volumes in appropriately selected neonatal patients.
For fragile neonatal lungs, HFOV can provide an alternative ventilation strategy when conventional ventilation alone may not be appropriate.
HFO-VG & Sigh
HFO-VG
The VN500 supports HFO-VG, combining high-frequency oscillation with Volume Guarantee.
This provides high-frequency ventilation together with volume-targeting functionality.
Sigh Function
The Sigh function provides periodic larger breaths as part of the ventilation strategy and can help address the risk of alveolar collapse according to the selected clinical configuration.
Smart Pulmonary View
The Smart Pulmonary View provides a graphical representation of pulmonary mechanics.
It offers clinicians a visual way to assess parameters associated with:
- Lung compliance
- Airway resistance
- Respiratory mechanics
This graphical presentation can assist trained clinical users in evaluating changes in pulmonary mechanics during ventilation.
Leak Compensation
The Babylog VN500 incorporates automatic leak compensation.
The system can compensate for leaks associated with:
- Endotracheal tubes
- Masks
- Non-invasive ventilation interfaces
Leak compensation helps maintain appropriate synchronization between the ventilator and the patient's respiratory effort.
Patient Range
The Babylog VN500 is designed for:
- Premature newborns
- Neonates
- Infants
- Pediatric patients up to 20 kg (44 lb)
Its specified neonatal tidal-volume range begins at 2 mL, making it suitable for very small patients within the intended clinical range.
Ventilation Modes
The supplied specifications identify the following categories:
Invasive Ventilation
Provides mechanical respiratory support through an invasive airway.
Non-Invasive Ventilation
Supports ventilation through an appropriate non-invasive patient interface.
nCPAP
Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP) provides continuous positive airway pressure through a nasal interface.
Synchronized Mandatory Ventilation
The ventilator supports synchronized mandatory ventilation to coordinate mandatory breaths with the patient's respiratory effort.
Support Modes
Support modes provide additional ventilatory assistance for spontaneously breathing neonatal and infant patients according to the selected configuration.
