NIV the sensitive way:
The new generation Sophie

For optimal Ventilation and Oxygen Saturation Control

The great challenge in non-invasive ventilation of newborns and premature babies is to adapt ventilation and oxygen saturation to the current patient situation as far as possible in real time. This is exactly what the SOPHIE can do automatically. Thanks to state-of-the-art sensor technology, it immediately recognises when breathing or oxygen fraction changes and adjusts the therapy parameters accordingly. With integrated high-frequency oscillation and breathing gas humidification, SOPHIE covers the broad spectrum of requirements for safe ventilation. And all this without the need to change the patient tubing system.

Sophisticated ventilation with the Sophie: Your advantages

Simply activate Functions at the Push of a Button

Conventional respirator, high frequency oscillator and humidifier – Sophie is more than just a device for NIV ventilation. It is capable of providing the essentials for the care of premature infants in this environment and allows activation and deactivation of functions depending on your needs and the situation.

  • Rapid adaptation of ventilation therapy to the child’s situation
  • No disconnection caused by unnecessary changes of the patient tube system
  • Easy, fast and safe through an intuitive operating concept

Respiration Sensor

Typical for premature and newborn infants: they like to move, pull up their legs, stretch their little arms. However, this also means that their breathing changes constantly. Sophie’s respiratory sensor converts the infant’s movements into a stable and responsive trigger signal. Ventilation is adapted automatically.

  • Optimized synchronization of the child’s breathing under NIV ventilation
  • Preventing Air Leak Syndrome and bronchopulmonary dysplasia
  • Significantly reduced rate of reintubation

Automatic SpO2 Control

SPOC is the name of the SpO2 controller already integrated in Sophie which automatically ensures optimum oxygen saturation. For a detailed overview of the therapy, all parameters of the SPOC SpO2 controller are displayed in two concise trend curves for up to 24 hours.

  • Prevent brain damage and blindness: through real-time oxygen saturation adjustment
  • To control ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation, all it takes is a single sensor for measuring preductal oxygen saturation
  • The ideal combination: significantly reduced nursing effort and improved patient safety

An electronic flow sensor for precise data collection

The heated electronic flow sensor enables precise measurement of flow and calculation of volume. The electronics reduce false readings due to moisture in the system and the data is reliably transmitted to the ventilator over a long period of time. The sensor is available as a disposable and reusable product and thus offers maximum flexibility.

Discover what SOPHIE can do for you

At first glance, Sophie may look like a conventional device for non-invasive ventilation. However, it offers so much more when it comes to optimum care for newborns and premature infants. Experience for yourself and discover what Sophie is capable of:

NIV Ventilation: Setup and Functions

Within the scope of NIV ventilation and adjustment, Sophie serves several purposes simultaneously:

Adaptive Ventilation

An external respiratory sensor detects spontaneous breathing activity of the patient and converts the abdominal movement of the patient into a trigger signal. This allows rapid adaptation of ventilation to the current situation.

High Frequency Oscillation

If required, simply activate the integrated high-frequency oscillation at the push of a button. Thanks to the integrated solution, there is no need for changing the patient tube. This way it is possible to quickly deliver optimal care.

Respiratory Humidification

The servo-controlled temperature sensor system of the Sophie humidifier prevents the formation of condensate. The use of a separate device can thus be omitted.
The SOPHIE is also available with a disposable expiratory cartridge for use with existing humidifier systems.
Connection and replacement are quick, easy and safe.

Oxygen Saturation Control

The SPOC SpO2 controller stabilizes oxygen saturation without the need for an additional sensor. It works independently of the selected ventilation mode and ensures that patients are within the defined SpO2 target range to a level of approx. 80%
