KALOS with EFA^® -Technology

The Cough Assist KALOS with EFA^® technology (Expiratory Flow Accelerator) from the manufacturer Medical Product Research (MPR) helps patients whose ability to cough effectively is severely limited. These patients are unable to cough up secretions on their own due to diseases of the respiratory system.

The Cough Assist function initially generates an overpressure in the patient’s respiratory system that can be adjusted on the device, and then switches to a negative pressure that is also adjustable and independent of the overpressure in a very short time, which enables the secretions to be mobilized and coughed up more easily and effectively.

The innovative, globally unique and patented EFA^® technology offers a particularly gentle therapy for ineffective coughing by accelerating the exhalation flow. EFA^® promotes deep drainage and secretion removal without exerting additional pressure on the airways. This means that EFA^® is not only a valuable therapy supplement but can also be used as an alternative for patients who do not accept Cough Assist therapy.

Overall, KALOS is characterized by its simple and intuitive application, with all functions shown on a color display and selected and adjusted using just one control button. The low weight, small dimensions and internal rechargeable battery offer medical professionals, nursing staff and, last but not least, patients a high degree of flexibility.

In addition to KALOS, Medical Product Research (MPR) offers a wide variety of other innovative respiratory therapy devices.

PO5, portable Oxygen Concentrator

The PO5 oxygen concentrator made by the medical technology company RESPIRCARE, RMS is a portable device with a built-in rechargeable battery to give patients who require oxygen flexibility and mobility.

Due to medical progress and the resulting demographic effects on the age pyramid, but also due to individual unhealthy lifestyles and environmental conditions and last but not least due to the long-term consequences of the pandemic, the number of patients who require oxygen is increasing worldwide. At home, these patients can be supplied with liquid oxygen systems (LOX: Liquid Oxygen) or stationary oxygen concentrators. Since these systems are fundamentally not portable, these patients are usually dependent on external support in their daily life.

The PO5 device from RESPIRCARE, with its light weight of just under 2 kg, its small dimensions and the adaptable battery that can be charged directly in the device, is ideal for making patients who require oxygen mobile again and minimizing their dependence on external support.

Two batteries with different power levels offer an autonomy of up to 12 hours depending on the application and type (battery type 1: 2 – 6 hours; battery type 2: 4 – 12 hours; depending on the device settings).

The system is complemented by a practical device carrying case, which can also be used as a shoulder bag or backpack in a few easy steps.

AO5, stationary Oxygen Concentrator

The AO5 oxygen concentrator made by the medical technology company RESPIRCARE, RMS is a stationary device for the care of patients requiring oxygen at home.

Medical progress and the resulting demographic effects on the age pyramid, individually unhealthy lifestyles and environmental conditions and the long-term consequences of the pandemic (Long COVID) are causing the number of patients requiring oxygen to rise worldwide. At home, these patients can be cared for with liquid oxygen systems (LOX: Liquid Oxygen) or stationary oxygen concentrators. Since LOX systems have to be filled at regular intervals, oxygen concentrators that separate O2 from the ambient air and pass it on to the patient are in many cases the more practical alternative.

The AO5 oxygen concentrator from RESPIRCARE is one of the quietest devices currently available and therefore does not disturb the peace and quiet of the home. A humidifier, which is included as standard, ensures pleasant therapy. The simple and intuitive operating concept also makes life easier for the user. Optional hose extensions are available for greater flexibility in the home.

iBreeze PAP und BPAP – Systems with integrated Humidification

The iBreeze PAP and BPAP respiratory therapy devices made by the medical technology company resvent combine effective and comfortable apnea therapy with a stylish design.

Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the established gold standard in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and respiratory insufficiency. A distinction is made between different forms of ventilation. In CPAP therapy (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), patients are supplied with continuously increased pressure via a medical mask, usually a nasal mask, which prevents the airways from collapsing and thus enables natural breathing during sleep. In BPAP therapy (Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure), breathing is supported by high pressure during the inspiration phase and a reduction in pressure during the expiration phase. Further developments of these forms of therapy with automatic adjustment of the pressures to the individual patient needs have become increasingly popular and have now become the standard. The pressures, pressure ranges and other treatment parameters are set by the medical staff.

The iBreeze PAP and BPAP respiratory therapy devices have a wide range of manual, intelligent and automatic modes and setting options for optimal and individual adaptation to the comfort needs of the patients and their medical requirements. Of course, the devices have an effective system for humidifying the therapy air with a preheating function to effectively prevent the airways from drying out.

The pressure-stable and whisper-quiet operation supports healthy and undisturbed sleep. The modern device design fits harmoniously into any living environment.

Particular emphasis was also placed on simple and intuitive operation during the device development.

An optional cloud connection opens up further possibilities of optimizing the success of the therapy.

Hifent HUMID, High Flow Therapy Devices

The Hifent HUMID therapy devices from the medical technology company RESPIRCARE, RMS combine conventional high-flow applications with manually or automatically controlled oxygen addition and effective respiratory gas humidification for the clinic and the home.

High-flow therapy for patients with lung insufficiency has in many cases developed into a gentle, effective and well-accepted alternative to conventional NIV (non-invasive ventilation). One of its advantages is the lack of a ventilation mask. A pleasantly humidified and warmed air stream, enriched with oxygen if necessary, is supplied to the patients via an inconspicuous nasal cannula. This constantly flushes the airways with fresh air and replaces the used, CO2-enriched exhaled air. Discomfort such as claustrophobia caused by a face mask and subjective complaints caused by the ventilation pressure are avoided and the patient can continue his or her usual lifestyle almost without restrictions even during therapy. Everyday activities such as eating, drinking, reading, speaking and much more are possible again. Patient acceptance and compliance is higher than with traditional NIV.

The Hifent high-flow devices from RESPIRCARE have a maximum flow range of up to 80 liters per minute and two modes to meet the individual requirements of both children and adults. The temperature of the air flow up to 37°C can be adjusted to the needs of the patients.

If necessary, the therapy gas can be enriched with up to 100 percent oxygen and the FiO₂ can not only be monitored on the device display but also regulated automatically.

The intuitive user interface makes the application easy. Important settings relevant to therapy can be blocked for home use.

Different device versions are available for clinical and home use.

Neso 200, portable EtCO2 and SpO2 patient monitor

Neso 200 is a portable handheld patient monitor from the medical technology company ALTEC that combines capnography (EtCO2) with pulse oximetry (SpO2) and thus records, displays and monitors the most important patient parameters.

Capnography is a medical procedure for measuring the carbon dioxide (CO2) content in the exhaled air of patients, outputting it as a value and displaying it in curve form. Infrared spectroscopy is usually used as the measurement method for this. In capnography, a distinction is made between the mainstream method, in which the measuring cuvette is located directly in the ventilation tube, and the sidestream method, in which a small amount of exhaled air is diverted for measurement.

Pulse oximetry (SpO2) is a method for non-invasively measuring arterial oxygen saturation. The partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood is measured using light absorption (usually in the frequency range 660 to 920 nm). This is done with a finger clip, which usually has corresponding LEDs on one side and a photodiode on the other. In addition to SpO2, the pulse rate is determined.

In practice, both capnographs and pulse oximeters have a variety of alarm functions.

The capnography of the NESO 200 combines mainstream and sidestream measurements in one device. The respective modules can be changed quickly and easily. The device has various alarm functions for EtCO2 and SpO2. The small dimensions of the handheld device, the rechargeable battery and the simple operation offer a flexibility that is appreciated not only by medical staff.

In addition to NESO 200, ALTEC offers a wide variety of other innovative patient monitors.
