Nihon Kohden’s NKV-440 Ventilator System is FDA-cleared for use across neonatal, pediatric, and adult patient populations. The NKV-440 features an internal HEPA-filtered turbine, which removes the requirement for external compressed air and increases mobility within the facility. The system provides up to five hours of operation using hot-swappable batteries and includes a trolley with an oxygen cylinder holder. For lung protection, the ventilator includes “Gentle Lung” recruitment tools and a Recruitment Assessment (RA) application. These features allow clinicians to assess lung recruitability and perform standardized stepwise recruitment maneuvers and PEEP titration to determine optimal compliance.
Nihon Kohden offers the NKV-330 Ventilator System, an FDA-cleared noninvasive ventilator designed to provide respiratory support for adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 12.5 kg. In addition to NIV, the system offers invasive ventilation and high flow oxygen therapy. The ventilator provides continuous monitoring of CO2 when used with the cap-ONE NIV mask, which allows for quality monitoring directly from the ventilator. Designed for in-hospital transport, the NKV-330 can be undocked with one hand and attached to a bedrail mount. The device features a total battery run time of five hours, consisting of a four-hour hot-swappable main battery and a one-hour internal backup battery.
