medinCNO is a versatile nCPAP device which is used to provide respiratory support to premature infants and newborns. In combination with Medijet, the compact device is a stand-alone system and meets all requirements for non-invasive nCPAP therapy.
With five modes, medinCNO offers comprehensive non-invasive support in neonatology and is the only nCPAP device with nHFV.
The nCPAP modes are designed so you only need to set the desired CPAP pressure. The flow is subsequently adjusted based on patient conditions and potential leaks. This prevents unintended peak pressures, guarantees highly efficient leak compensation, and helps to reduce oxygen consumption. Flow adjustment occurs very rapidly due to the high sensitivity of the pressure measurement.
Apnea is detected by MediTRIG. As a result, breaths are automatically triggered to stimulate breathing. Frequency, pressure level and breath duration can be individually adjusted.
In addition to the PEEP, breaths with fixed settings (pressure level, duration, frequency) are administered. These breaths have a higher pressure level and are not emitted in a synchronized manner.
The difference between the SNIPPV mode and the NIPPV mode is that in this case, an automatic push is triggered synchronously with inspiration. Ventilation is provided here on two different flow and pressure levels synchronized with the patient's inhalation. The intensity of the second level as well as the changeover frequency and the time spent at the higher level can be adjusted by the user. In addition, the Leak-Assist can additionally be switched on.
nHFV combines the benefits of high-frequency ventilation and non-invasive CPAP support. The patient breathes spontaneously with CPAP support. A special valve shifts the air flow in all phases of spontaneous breathing under high-frequency oscillations (300 to 1200/minute).
The MediTRIG respiratory trigger was specially developed by medin for use in premature infants and newborns. Through the combination of the pressure measurement in the Medijet® generator and the signal processing in the medin nCPAP devices, MediTRIG works without additional sensors.
MediTRIG detects central as well as obstructive apnea.
