Precision Breathing Redefined: The Advanced Capabilities of the Stephan Sophie HFO Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilator

The Stephan Sophie HFO Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilator is an advanced ICU ventilator designed by Fritz Stephan GmbH, a leading German manufacturer known for neonatal and pediatric care solutions. This ventilator stands out for its ability to deliver both conventional and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV)—an essential feature for managing the most delicate and critical patients.

Key Features of the Stephan Sophie HFO Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilator

1. Dual-Mode Ventilation: Conventional + HFOV

The Sophie HFO offers two primary ventilation modes in a single device:

  • Conventional Ventilation (CV) for routine respiratory support

  • High-Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) for cases of severe pulmonary disease

HFOV is particularly useful in neonates with:

  • Meconium aspiration

  • Pulmonary air leaks

  • Refractory hypoxemia

  • ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)

Switching between CV and HFOV can be done seamlessly without changing the ventilator or circuit, improving response time and minimizing risks.

2. Gentle and Lung-Protective Ventilation

The Sophie HFO is engineered with lung-protective strategies in mind:

  • Uses very low tidal volumes (even below anatomical dead space)

  • Minimizes volutrauma and barotrauma

  • Supports delicate lung tissue with precise pressure control

This makes it ideal for premature infants and low-birth-weight neonates whose lungs are not fully developed.

3. Integrated Patient Monitoring

The system includes a full suite of integrated monitoring functions:

  • Continuous display of tidal volume (VT), mean airway pressure (MAP), and respiratory rate (RR)

  • Real-time pressure and flow curves

  • SpO₂ and transcutaneous CO₂ monitoring (optional)

The user-friendly display presents this information in a clear, easy-to-read format, aiding clinical decision-making at every stage.

4. Dynamic Lung Graphics and Loops

Dynamic pressure-volume and flow-volume loops allow clinicians to:

  • Assess lung compliance and resistance

  • Monitor the effectiveness of therapy in real-time

  • Adjust settings proactively to improve patient response

These graphical tools are essential in fine-tuning care for critically ill neonates.

5. Flexible Control of Ventilation Parameters

The Sophie HFO ventilator offers fine-tuned adjustment of every aspect of ventilation:

  • Inspiratory and expiratory pressures

  • Frequency (up to 15 Hz in HFOV mode)

  • Amplitude and bias flow

  • I: E ratio

  • FiO₂ control (21%–100%)

Such granular control ensures that clinicians can adapt therapy to each patient’s evolving condition.

6. Built-In Humidification System

The unit includes a heated humidifier that provides optimal conditioning of the respiratory gases. Proper humidification:

  • Prevents airway dryness

  • Maintains mucociliary function

  • Reduces ventilator-associated lung injury

7. High Reliability with Battery Backup

The Sophie HFO features:

  • Dual power supply (mains and internal battery)

  • Long-lasting battery backup for uninterrupted ventilation during transport or power outages

  • Alarm and alert systems to warn of disconnection, apnea, or system errors


Advanced Safety Features

  • Automatic leak compensation to ensure consistent pressure even with uncuffed tubes

  • Oxygen blending with accurate FiO₂ delivery

  • Integrated safety valves to prevent over-pressurization

  • Apnea backup ventilation for spontaneous breathing trials

Every component of the Stephan Sophie HFO Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilator is built with patient safety as the top priority.

A Revolutionary Ventilator for Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care – Exclusively from Medicare Exel, Kenya’s Leading Supplier of Medical Equipment

In neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICUs and PICUs), the need for highly specialized respiratory support is paramount. Fragile lungs require gentle yet effective ventilation strategies to sustain life without causing harm. In these critical moments, the Stephan Sophie HFO Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilator becomes an indispensable tool.

At Medicare Exel Medical Limited, we are proud to provide cutting-edge solutions that meet the rigorous demands of modern intensive care. As Kenya’s leading supplier of medical equipment, we bring the Stephan Sophie HFO Ventilator to healthcare facilities across the region—delivering reliability, innovation, and clinical excellence where it matters most.


What Is a Mechanical Ventilator?

A mechanical ventilator is a medical device designed to assist or replace spontaneous breathing by delivering controlled airflow into a patient’s lungs. It is crucial in the management of:

  • Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)

  • Apnea of prematurity

  • Pulmonary hypoplasia

  • Sepsis-related respiratory failure

  • Post-operative respiratory support

Mechanical ventilators are used in critical care settings to ensure adequate oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal in patients who are too weak or ill to breathe on their own.

The Stephan Sophie HFO Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilator is specifically engineered for the unique challenges of neonatal and pediatric ventilation, incorporating advanced high-frequency oscillation (HFO) technology for unparalleled respiratory precision.
