Description:

Introduction Nitric oxide (NO) is administered as a selective pulmonary vasodilator for conditions such as:

• Persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborn babies (blue baby syndrome)
• Adult respiratory distress syndrome
• Acute post-operative cardiac patients

The NOxBOXmobile is intended for use by healthcare professionals in a medical environment to administer nitric oxide (NO) to the breathing circuits of patients undergoing inhaled NO (INO) therapy.

It has been designed to provide adjustable continuous flow NO delivery to the patient ventilator circuit to achieve the required dose of NO to the patient. The NOxBOXmobile must be used in conjunction with a suitable Inhaled Nitric Oxide (INO) Therapy monitor to confirm the correct dose of NO is being delivered to the patient. Specifically, the NOxBOX+ and NOxBOXO2 monitors from the Bedfont Scientific range of products are suitable for use with the NOxBOX mobile.
