ACPAP+ (Adaptive CPAP Plus Pressure Support)®

[ACPAP+ Function] 
It is developed with high technology which applying to the highest class ICU ventilator and applying for a patent. It is innovated reaserch object ‘comfortable breathing’ in CPAP. MEKICS created unique ACPAP+ technology completed the clinical effect and ‘comfortable breathing’ simultaneous.

[Application Model] 
Pneuma Series, HFT System, and CPAP Sereis (apply to whole blower type ventilator)

[Principal] 
Based on the CPAP, it is contrived to minimize of breaths with difficulty in CPAP as induction of airway open, pressure support that is decreased patient’s effort in inspiration, and active break (rapid pressure interruption) that makes easy of expiration.

[Technology] 
It is decreased Ins. Phase Work of Breathing through Ins. Trigger function and Pressure Support function. It makes possible to inhale with small effort of patient (WOB_ins). It is decreased Ex. Phase Work of Breathing through Ex_Sesnse. In this time, interrupt the flow rapidly and supply brk_time (Expiration Break Time). It makes possible to exhale with small effort of patient (WOB_exp) and minimize of breaths with difficulty.

* (brk_time: Expiration Break Time): Application to most convenience respiration pattern

ABiPAP + (Adaptive BiPAP Plus Pressure Support)

ABiPAP+ is taking an Apnea into consideration and adding mandatory respiratory period in ACPAP+. 
If makes longer of InpTime in order to use the BiPAP+ together, it is possible to use with spontaneous in upper level.

Benefit of EtCO2 option in Ventilator (Hemo-Dynamics) 

It has clinical significance that the ‘output of CO2 per minute’ in breathing preservation. As mounting of EtCO2 into the ventilator, the current speed of exhaust and CO2 density are synchronized so that can get the exact output of CO2 per minute. It makes possible to monitoring of profitable information like various clinical inferences as well as sufficient breathing directly.

Caution) This function is effective with standard mainstream supplied by MEKICS but impossible to work with side stream type.

Gas exchanging ability that is applying as major information of comprehensive Hemo-Dynamics.  

MEKICS uses an EtCO2 mainstream type from PhaseIn Company of Sweden.

Benefit of SpO2 Option in Ventilator 

Through the SpO2 measurement, recognize the blood oxygen saturation concentration, pulse rate(heart rate), and perfusion index, etc. It makes possible to monitoring of patient breathing both stable and effective. Without extra monitoring, completes an essential respiration management system very simply. Using with EtCO2, can be used more perfectly of Hemo-Dynamic Monitoring function and increases safety of monitoring.  The SpO2 module of MEKICS is high performance of low perfusion and the sensor is compatible with Nellcor then it is effective to use the SpO2 sensor by MEKICS

PRVC (Pressure Regulated Volume Ventilation)

It is operating with pressure mode, and the target pressure is decided automatically by device according to the setting volume
It is the highest mandatory ventilation mode that is combined with volume and pressure mode. The PRVC mode is possible to maintain of setting volume as controlled of damage for the lung and airway in the variation of compliance, airway resistance, and leakage of patient circuit situation.

O2 Stream®

Recently the clinical aim of ventilator is minimized of lung injury and recovered of spontaneous respiration. It should be deal with carefully that interrupt ventilation and assistance of breathing in clinically. After weaning by ventilation, happen to use the ventilator (or assistance of breathing) again frequent. That is necessary a method for proper and effective assistance of breathing.  
The High Flow Therapy is suitable device for the method and it is contrived by principal that makes sufficient ventilation in the nasal cavity and upper airway. In this aspect, it is different from Nasal CPAP. This function is using with Nasal Cannular was contrived specially and humidifier.   

Proximal Flow Sensor in Pneuma

The volume compensation is very important factor especially for the particular patient who has insufficient breathing. The Proximal Flow Sensor is a definite solution technically but it is not comfortable to use except the patient has insufficient breathing. And also it is not commercial viability as necessary of lasting disposable accessories.  
Furthermore the pressure type ventilation is trending recently because an excessive of pressure and intubation problem without balloon in case of neonate and premature so the volume compensation is not necessary virtually.
Nevertheless it is necessary only for monitoring of flow and volume in case of lower tidal volume.
In this aspect, MEKCIS supply the Proximal Sensor which is selectable to use by user in order to maximize of convenience.

Comparison with other companies;
[A Company]
Volume compensation without Proximal Sensor;
It should be checking and calibration frequently so makes lower of operating capacity as well as big different of maintenance cost   

[B Company]
Volume compensation with Proximal Flow sensor
It is not operating without the proximal flow sensor so it must use the proximal sensor that is inconvenience and also bear the expenses continuous for disposable using
