High Frequency Ventilation (HFV)
 

SU:M Series provides a high level of clinical performance for  all the clinical demands from conventional to high frequency  ventilation. MEKICS’ unique pneumatic technology extends  the applicability of SU:M Series to HFV without any  additional hardware apparatus. It has also possibility to extend the
 

Reliability and Easy maintenance
 

The pneumatic system of SU:M Series is MEKICS’ unique  technology and it makes a basis for all the strong features  such as unique High Frequency Ventilation and high reliabil-  ity. Sohware based modes makes easier upgrade for  customer demands. SU:M series provides easy maintenance process with PC viewer economically including spare parts.

1. Dual High Frequency Ventilation

MEKICS’ unique principle of HFV has a couple of clinical  benefits. The first is that patient can be cared continu-  ously even without replacing the breathing circuit  between conventional mode and HFV mode. This  strong benefit helps safe and easy care.

The second is Dual Phase High Frequency Ventilation  (DHFV). It is a combined mode with CMV and HFV. The  CMV phase of DHFV could be used to intend either intermittent lung expansion or intermittent exhalation  under high frequency ventilation. The intermittent lung expansion works for insuVicient lung recruit process in  HFV with low MAP. On the other hand, intermittent lung  exhalation could have an eVect of improving insuVi-  cient CO2 ventilation and get measured EtCO2 in HFV  with high MAP.

2. AutoVent®

AutoVent® mode of SU:M Series is to induct successful weaning depending on patient’s lung condition and patient  breathing eVort by adaptive reaction-controlled algorithm.  AutoVent® mode supports the optimal pressure controlled  tidal volume with calculated respiration rate. We believe  this mode is a possibly optimal solution to care patient’s  changing lung condition continuously.
A patient aher surgery without any specific lung disease, the  demand of patient’s breathing may change continuously.  AutoVent® mode could help clinician more concentrate on  patient-care than setting-device.

3. SpO2, EtCO2 (Hemo Dynamics)

This option could provide information of metabolic-CO2 and SpO2 as the result of respiration. This information  could be useful to a clinician for patient care without independent gas monitoring system and for reducing  complete dependency on Arterial Blood Gas Analysis  (ABGA). Especially, it is intended to provide more useful and comprehensive clinical information from this  combination of CO2, SpO2 and flow information.

4. Smart Weaning

Asynchrony in SIMV is a major challenge for successful  weaning process. The first mission is how to meet  patient’s respiratory demand with a set of volume and respiration rate. The second is how not to interrupt patient’s breathing eVorts. In other words, it means how to avoid fighting.
The principle of smart weaning is to support minimum- pressure level and to allow over set-volume continuously as patient’s demand increases in inhalation phase.
The inspiratory time is extended to detect expiratory start point(Ex-sense) not to interrupt the patient exhalation eVort.
