The F&P Respiratory Care Continuum illustrates the breadth of respiratory therapies patients may require when in need of respiratory assistance. During the global COVID-19 pandemic, please refer to the most up-to-date WHO guidelines and your local policies for specific clinical guidance and considerations for infection control.
Nasal High Flow Therapy Using Optiflow™ Nasal High Flow (aka HFNC, HFNO) to treat COVID‑19 patients.
Heated Humidification The use of heated humidification for healthcare professionals managing COVID‑19 patients.
Efficiency of Filters and F&P Evaqua™ 2 The viral and bacterial filtration efficiency of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Filters and F&P Evaqua™ 2 Circuits.
CPAP Therapy for OSA COVID-19 and CPAP therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Guidance for CPAP Users and Healthcare Professionals.
Pediatric Therapies Considerations for the management of neonates, infants, and children with suspected or confirmed COVID‑19.
Reprocessing Single‑Use Products Guidance on reprocessing single‑use products and use beyond stated duration of use.
Laparoscopic Surgery with HumiGard Humidified Insufflation Kit filter efficiency.
Due to increased worldwide demand for ventilators, we are regularly getting requests regarding ventilator equipment. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare does not manufacture mechanical ventilators. We produce other respiratory support and humidification products, and associated consumables.
Using improvised materials and configuring Fisher & Paykel Healthcare products in a manner that is outside their intended use raises some concerns around the safety and efficacy of our devices. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare products are rigorously designed and tested before they are used by patients. We understand healthcare professionals may have to improvise to find solutions to cope with COVID-19. However, we cannot attest to the safety or performance of our devices when they are used in unapproved ways. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare recommends extreme caution when using filters and valves in unapproved or improvised ways. Resistance to flow, filter efficacy in different conditions, instrumental dead-space, flow dynamics through the system, and the potential for gas-trapping are just some of the important safety factors healthcare professionals should consider.
How to operate the Airvo 2, including guidance on how to adjust key settings such as flow, temperature, and how to add supplemental oxygen (if required).
