We dedicate our heart and passion into medical care Our Mission “We want to save lives” - This has always been our greatest motivation In 1984, we successfully developed and commercialized the world’s first piston-type HFO (High Frequency Oscillation) mechanical ventilator. It was clinically evident that HFO ventilation would be superior to conventional methods, but the commercialization of HFO had always been considered extremely difficult. At the time, we said to ourselves, “if we can turn this into a reality, we can save so many premature newborn lives that no others can save today” – this aspiration drove us to take this difficult technological challenge where nobody else had succeeded. Through repeated trial and error, we finally completed our first product. We took this product to be evaluated for use in the world’s first large-scale clinical trial for HFO ventilation, called the “HiFi Trial” sponsored by the NIH (the United States National Institute of Health), and was chosen as the preferred HFO ventilator over numerous other ventilators submitted by various manufacturers throughout the world. Since then, our HFO ventilators have been steadily evolving through our successive research and development efforts. We are enormously proud that our HFO ventilators have been installed and used in more than 90% of Japan’s NICUs (neonatal intensive care units) and contributes to Japanese premature neonatal care that is considered to be the world’s best. As a critical-care medical device developer and manufacturer, we have absolute conviction in ourselves – our job is not to force patients to adapt to our technologies, but we must rather advance our technologies so that our products will coincide with what patients and their conditions require. It is our strong belief that the developer’ s “heart” and “passion” can only make such an ideal a reality. With this in mind, we will continue our challenging journey.
