HiFLO2® Product Family
The
HiFLO2® family product line of innovative devices are currently in
development and are designed to help the clinician provide non-invasive ventilatory support.
The first offering in this product line, the
HiFLO2® will:
- Deliver warm, humidified respiratory gases through a non-sealing nasal cannula at flow rates from 1 l/min for pre-mature infants up to 40 l/min for
adults, such as for high flow therapy (HFT)
- Provide the capability of delivering 100% oxygen to a patient.
- Offer the clinician control of gas flow, temperature, humidity, and oxygen
in one self-contained device.
- Offer simple to use disposable accessories, including a water chamber, a
heated delivery tube, and a non-sealing cannula
Mergenet Medical has filed a number of patents for its
HiFLO2®
line of products and plans to file additional applications as development
dictates. There are only a few competing HFT products in the market today.
We believe, however, that each of the currently offered competing products
has its shortcomings. Some require expensive disposable accessories that
could cost healthcare providers approximately $100 per use to replace, while
others present complex installations that require forty minutes or more to
prepare each time they are used. By comparison, the
HiFLO2®
is compact and
self-contained, and the disposable accessories can be easily disassembled
and reassembled in minutes, all using simple single push or pull
connections. Our device utilizes a very clean air path, which is filtered
and then sent along a sealed path to the patient. The
HiFLO2®
Series’ simple
design also enables caregivers to easily control, monitor and record vital
statistics such as upper airway pressure, temperature, humidity, respiratory
rates and flow rates.
