Engineered for Neonatal Excellence – Available at Medicare Exel, Kenya’s Leading Supplier of Medical Equipment
When it comes to the care of premature or critically ill newborns, every breath matters. For neonatologists and pediatricians, having access to a reliable, responsive, and clinically advanced ventilator can mean the difference between life and death. In this high-stakes environment, the Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator stands out as a life-saving innovation tailored specifically for neonatal and infant respiratory support.
Designed with unmatched sensitivity, intelligent flow-triggering technology, and cutting-edge non-invasive ventilation (NIV) options, the Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator ensures that even the tiniest patients receive gentle yet effective respiratory therapy. At Medicare Exel Medical Limited, we are proud to supply this highly specialized Infant Flow Ventilator, reinforcing our status as Kenya’s leading supplier of new and refurbished medical equipment.
Understanding Infant Respiratory Needs
Newborns—especially preterm infants—have immature lungs, weak respiratory muscles, and an increased risk of apnea, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Providing ventilation to these patients is a delicate balance between supplying enough pressure to assist breathing while avoiding trauma or over-distention of the lungs.
That’s where the Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator proves indispensable. By offering advanced non-invasive ventilatory support, this system minimizes lung injury, improves oxygenation, and promotes successful weaning—all while reducing the risk of complications associated with traditional mechanical ventilation.
What is the Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator?
The Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator is a specialized respiratory support system developed for use in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This device delivers non-invasive and invasive ventilation with an intelligent “infant flow” mechanism, providing positive airway pressure with exceptional precision and responsiveness.
The system is designed to:
-
Support both spontaneous and assisted breathing
-
Deliver consistent CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
-
Allow for synchronized ventilation modes
-
Reduce the work of breathing in neonates
Through its pioneering Infant Flow™ technology, the ventilator adapts to the newborn’s breathing cycle in real time, ensuring that ventilation is both protective and efficient.
Key Features of the Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator
1. True Infant Flow™ Technology
The foundation of this ventilator is its Infant Flow™ technology, which uses a variable flow system to deliver nasal CPAP and other non-invasive modes.
Benefits:
-
Synchronizes with the infant’s own breathing efforts
-
Reduces the imposed work of breathing
-
Improves patient-ventilator interaction
-
Promotes lung volume stabilization
This ensures infants receive support only when needed and avoid over-pressurization during exhalation.
2. Multiple Ventilation Modes
The ventilator supports a wide range of neonatal ventilation modes, including:
-
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
-
BiPhasic CPAP (BiPAP)
-
High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)
-
Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV)
-
Synchronized NIPPV (SNIPPV)
This versatility allows caregivers to tailor therapy based on the severity of the condition, gestational age, and response to treatment.
3. Gentle and Non-Invasive Support
The Viasys system is built to provide non-invasive respiratory support, reducing the need for intubation and minimizing trauma to the infant’s airways.
Advantages:
-
Reduces the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
-
Preserves natural breathing mechanisms
-
Ease weaning off respiratory support
-
Shortens NICU stay durations
Engineering Designed for Neonates
4. Ultra-Sensitive Flow Sensors
The ventilator uses sensitive proximal flow sensors that detect minimal changes in breathing effort. This enables accurate triggering and rapid response without over-assistance or lag.
-
Flow trigger as low as 0.1 L/min
-
Reduced asynchrony
-
Improved ventilation efficiency
5. Leak Compensation
Due to the frequent use of nasal prongs and masks, leaks are common in neonatal NIV. The Viasys Infant Flow Ventilator automatically detects and compensates for mask/interface leaks, maintaining consistent pressure and flow without compromising safety.
Monitoring and Safety Features
6. Comprehensive Real-Time Monitoring
Clinicians can view key parameters in real-time, including:
-
Tidal volume
-
Respiratory rate
-
PEEP and CPAP pressures
-
Flow waveforms
-
SpO₂ integration (optional)
This data aids in rapid decision-making and continuous therapy optimization.
7. Apnea Backup Mode
The ventilator includes an apnea monitoring system that activates backup ventilation if the patient ceases spontaneous breathing for a set period.
Features:
-
Adjustable apnea timeout
-
Automatic breath delivery until spontaneous respiration resumes
-
Safety alarm with escalation levels
8. Visual and Audible Alarms
Patient safety is a priority, and the system is equipped with:
-
High/low pressure alarms
-
Apnea alerts
-
Disconnection detection
-
Battery backup warnings
These alerts ensure caregivers are immediately notified of any critical changes.
Ergonomic and Efficient Design
9. Compact and Mobile Unit
The ventilator is designed for the NICU workflow:
-
Small footprint to fit beside incubators
-
Integrated castor wheels for easy movement
-
Swivel arm to position the display conveniently
10. User-Friendly Interface
With a bright LCD touchscreen, intuitive menus, and customizable settings, the ventilator is easy to operate for all levels of clinical staff.
-
Quick setup protocols
-
Preset ventilation templates
-
Multi-language support
-
Color-coded alerts
