SoKINOX™:
iNO delivery & monitoring system

Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO or KINOX™) delivery and monitoring system to protect vulnerable lives.

or more information

SoKINOX™ is our user-friendly iNO delivery & monitoring device specifically developed to bring easy-to-use inhaled nitric oxide (iNO or KINOX™) to the next level and help your patients inspire breath into life.

KINOX™ is a precise nitric oxide blend for the treatment of term and near-term (>=34 weeks) neonates with a hypoxic respiratory failure, associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension.  It improves the oxygenation and reduces the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

KINOX™ is a selective pulmonary vasodilator for the treatment of neonates developed by Air Liquide Healthcare and characterized by:

  • A rapid and reversible action1
  • A selective vasodilator which redistributes pulmonary blood flow1
  • Reduces the oxygenation index (OI) and increases PaO21
  • Absence of systemic effect2
  • Reduction in the shunt effect (V/Q) by acting only on ventilated alveoli2
