MEK-ICS Co., Ltd. specializes in HFV (High Frequency Ventilation), which is the method of mechanical breathing to help to maintain the pulmonary respiration in small amounts of oxygen by making patients breathe through fast ventilation at an average of 300 to 1,200 times per minute.
Since an amount of single breath is very small and inspiratory time is very short, the diffusion process in the lungs and the continuous flow of air are actively performed. Thus, it can restore alveolar better than the treatment by injecting a mass amount of air (high pressure), and it can also reduce lung injury with less pressure variation range.
“HFV” technology is effective in treatment for patients with pneumothorax of the interstitial lung, pneumonia, refractory hypoxemia, sepsis, suffocation, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and chronic obstructive disease (COPD).
“Chronic obstructive disease is a high-risk disease with the 4th-highest mortality rate in the world and the 7th-highest mortality rate in Korea, thereby requiring safe treatment with great care,” explained Min Wang Kim, director of MEK-ICS Co., Ltd. ‘HFV’, the technology of Ventilator aid treatment, is employed by Draeger of Germany and Metran of Japan as well as ‘SU:M 3,’ the company’s second generation Ventilator. What makes “HFV” technology from MEK-ICS Co., Ltd. so extraordinary is the "DUAL HFV" mode. It is the function to measure CO2 in the lungs which are discharged at the time of breathing when giving a little of exhaust time during the time of oxygen supply. The measurement of CO2 emission is necessary to accurately grasp the condition of neonatal and obese patients whose oxygen saturation level and apnea during sleep are low. Since “SU:M 3” does not require piston block devices unlike other companies’ products, it could enhance economic efficiency and durability.And also it is possible to use common accessories due to the type of the company’s patent application.
