KINOX™ is Air Liquide Healthcare's inhaled nitric oxide, specially developed as a selective pulmonary vasodilator for the treatment of neonates.

Medical application

KINOX™ is a selective pulmonary vasodilator developed by the Air Liquide Healthcare group 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

In persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, inhaled nitric
oxide has been proven to:

  • Improve arterial oxygenation and shorten duration of mechanical ventilation and stay in ICU (Franco-Belgium collaborative NO Trial)3
  • Reduce the incidence of the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)4,5 without increasing the incidence of adverse outcomes at 1 year of age6

KINOX™ is indicated, in conjunction with ventilator support and other appropriate agents, for the treatment of:

  • Newborn infants ≥ 34 weeks gestation with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension, in order to improve oxygenation and to reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
KINOX™ is available in 800 PPM concentration, in 2 cylinder sizes: 362 L cylinder (sz MD15) and 2138 L cylinder (sz NO88)

SoKINOX™ iNO delivery & monitoring device

SoKINOX™ is designed to bring easy-to-use inhaled nitric oxide  to the next level:

Universal: Functions with most ventilation modes, for all types of patients, thanks to its reliable flow sensor.

Intuitive and controlled: The large touchscreen provides clear and organized information, making the device intuitive and controlled through the alarms which are in place.

Compact: Its compact design includes a hand-bagging KINOX™ administration system in case of emergency, transfer, or alveolar recruitment.

Continuity: Connected to 2 cylinders with an automatic switch to guarantee treatment continuity.
