About MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction Systems For Neonatal/pediatric, 8 Fr Y, 12in/30.5cm
What is MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction Systems For Neonatal/pediatric, 8 Fr Y, 12in/30.5cm?
The MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction Systems For Neonatal/pediatric, 8 Fr Y, 12in/30.5cm is a medical-grade, single-patient-use device engineered for safe and efficient airway clearance in vulnerable pediatric and neonatal populations. Designed for use with ventilated patients, this closed suction system allows clinicians to remove secretions from the endotracheal tube without disconnecting the patient from the ventilator circuit. This helps maintain continuous ventilation, reduces the risk of contamination, and supports hemodynamic stability during suctioning procedures. Each unit is sterile, latex-free, and intended for one-time use to ensure infection control compliance in ICU and NICU environments.
Key features
- Sterile, Single-Use Design — Ensures infection control and patient safety in critical care settings.
- 8 Fr Catheter Size — Optimized for neonatal and pediatric airways to prevent trauma during suctioning.
- 12in (30.5cm) Y-Connector — Allows integration with ventilator circuits while maintaining closed-system integrity.
- Latex-Free Construction — Reduces allergy risk for sensitive pediatric patients.
- Smooth Catheter Tip — Minimizes airway irritation during insertion and withdrawal.
- Integrated Suction Control — Enables precise secretion removal with controlled vacuum application.
- Packaged Individually — Supports sterile handling and ready availability in clinical workflows.
Who is MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction Systems For Neonatal/pediatric, 8 Fr Y, 12in/30.5cm for?
This device is intended for healthcare professionals managing ventilated neonatal and pediatric patients in hospital intensive care units, neonatal ICUs, and pediatric respiratory care settings. It is especially valuable for clinicians prioritizing infection prevention, continuous ventilation, and airway stability during suctioning. Nurses, respiratory therapists, and critical care providers use this system to safely clear airway secretions in infants and young children who cannot effectively cough on their own. It is not intended for adult use or non-ventilated patients.
How does MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction Systems For Neonatal/pediatric, 8 Fr Y, 12in/30.5cm compare?
Compared to open suction systems, the MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System maintains patient ventilation during the procedure, reducing oxygen desaturation risks. It outperforms standard polypropylene suction catheters by preserving PEEP and minimizing environmental exposure. Unlike reusable systems, its single-use design eliminates cross-contamination risks. When compared to generic pediatric suction kits, it offers a more reliable Y-connector fit and smoother catheter movement. It is comparable in function to other closed neonatal systems but stands out for its consistent 8 Fr sizing and 30.5cm length tailored for small airways.
Best use cases
- →Neonatal ICU airway secretion management
- →Pediatric ventilator circuit maintenance
- →Closed suctioning in respiratory distress
- →Infection control in critical care units
- →Continuous PEEP during suction procedures
Is Kimvent Closed Suction Systems For Neonatal/pediatric, 8 Fr Y, 12in/30.5cm right for you?
The MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is ideal for hospitals, NICUs, and pediatric care units needing reliable, sterile airway management. Designed for use by trained clinicians, it requires familiarity with ventilator circuits and suction protocols. Alternatives include open suction catheters or adult-sized closed systems, but this model is optimized for small patients. Purchase in bulk for clinical readiness.
How it compares: Compared to open suction systems, this closed system maintains ventilation and PEEP. It offers better infection control than reusable kits and is more airway-friendly than standard pediatric catheters due to its 8 Fr size and smooth tip design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a closed suction system used for?
▾
A closed suction system allows airway secretion removal in ventilated patients without disconnecting the breathing circuit. It helps maintain oxygen levels, preserves PEEP, and reduces contamination risk, making it ideal for neonatal and pediatric intensive care settings where stability is critical during suctioning procedures.
Does the MI198-Each Kimvent system come sterile?
▾
Yes, each MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is individually packaged and sterile to ensure safe, single-patient use. This supports infection control standards in NICU and pediatric ICU environments where minimizing pathogen exposure is essential during airway management.
How does the 8 Fr size benefit pediatric patients?
▾
The 8 Fr diameter is specifically sized for neonatal and small pediatric airways, reducing the risk of trauma during insertion and suctioning. It allows effective secretion clearance while maintaining airway integrity in fragile patients who require gentle, precise respiratory support.
Is the MI198-Each Kimvent system latex-free?
▾
Yes, the MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is latex-free, making it safer for pediatric patients with latex sensitivities or allergies. This feature supports broader clinical compatibility and reduces the risk of adverse reactions during critical respiratory care.
Can this suction system be reused?
▾
No, the MI198-Each Kimvent Closed Suction System is designed for single-use only. Reuse is not recommended as it compromises sterility, increases infection risk, and may reduce catheter performance. Each unit should be discarded after one patient procedure to maintain safety and compliance.
