NKV family
The main philosophy behind Nihon Kohden's NKV-550 is Treasure Every Breath®: every breath matters. Our goal is to provide clinically relevant innovations and solutions for patients requiring mechanical ventilation therapies.
Seamless care
With NKV-550, patients can seamlessly switch between invasive and non-invasive ventilation as well as high-flow oxygen therapy. It is also designed to be used for patients of any build.
Lung protection
NKV-550 was built with lung safety during ventilation in mind and is equipped with the Gentle Lung® suite of applications to provide clinically relevant and easy-to-use tools for the open lung approach strategy.
Protective Control®
Protective Control® provides clinicians with a second secure and fully functional user interface to easily implement necessary changes to ventilator settings when treating patients with contagious diseases or undergoing a radiology procedure.
Connectivity
The NKV-550 system can transfer critical patient ventilation data to the hospital information system for data analysis and recording purposes.
Workflow optimization
NKV-550 offers highly customizable screen configurations that allow the ventilator to be tailored to various needs. Our app-based design provides guided processes to help clinicians operate more easily and systematically and optimize care for their ventilator patients.
Low operating costs
The NKV-550 system requires simple and inexpensive preventive maintenance every six months.
Accessories and Consumables
Human Machine Interface, which is the user interface that connects human and machine, is very important for visualizing processes inside the body. Nihon Kohden develops and produces many important accessories and consumables like sensors and electrodes.
