Integrated Monitoring

Seamless integration of end-tidal CO2 monitoring, volumetric capnography and SpO2 in the NKV-550 and NKV-330 Series Ventilator Systems help the clinician optimize ventilator settings and monitor changing patient conditions.

Monitoring of a patient’s cardiorespiratory status is essential for optimal outcomes. Seamless integration of end-tidal CO2, volumetric capnography and SpO2 monitoring in the NKV-550 Series Ventilator System help the clinician optimize ventilator settings and assess changing patient conditions.
The incorporation of this monitoring equipment also helps reduce the need to purchase additional equipment to be placed at the already-crowded bedside.

Uniqueness Of The cap-ONE CO2 Sensor

A new class ultra-compact and highly durable CO2 sensor.

Nihon Kohden’s cap-ONE employs advanced miniaturization of infrared absorption spectroscopy system and its sensor has achieved an extremely light and small size with a weight of 4 g with the dead space of 0.5 mL. Also, by using an anti-fogging membrane, a motor and heater are not required. This results in a sensor that is about 80% lighter and 90% smaller than typical CO2 sensors.

The highly durable cap-ONE, withstands a drop test of 100 falls from a height of 2 m, 5,000 flex tests with a 400 g load and a water test 30 minutes.

The principle of pulse oximetry was developed by Nihon Kohden researcher Takuo Aoyagi in the early 1970’s. Pulse oximetry measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) non-invasively with an infrared sensor on the fingertip. Before that, the measurement of blood oxygen saturation required arterial blood sampling. Thanks to pulse oximetry, the critical parameter of SpO2 can be measured painlessly, continuously and in real time.

Patient Comfort

  • Comfortable fit and light weight for patient satisfaction with highly reliable measurement
  • SpO2 sensor with stabilizing clamp on the sides to prevent accidental removal to reduce technical alarms
  • The multi-site sensor can be used for neonate foot as well as adult fingers
  • The finger-tip sensor covers less area of the finger and gives the patient more freedom for finger movement

Clinical Application

  • It’s unique design improves comfort to the patient by providing an optimal distribution of pressure
  • Bright LED technology provides more accurate measurement for thicker fingers or skin with darker pigmentation
  • The reusable sensor has a specially designed clamp to prevent accidental fallout or removal of the sensor, leading to reduced technical alarms
  • The BluPRO technology in SpO2 sensors gives high accuracy even during movements
