Nasal-Aire Critical Care ventilator interface is intended for use with a CPAP or Bi-Level device to provide noninvasive ventilation in adult patients for the treatment of respiratory insufficiencies or obstructive sleep apnea. This single use disposable interface is intended for hospital settings.
Device Story
Nasal-Aire Critical Care is a single-use, disposable ventilator interface accessory. It consists of a soft silicone nosepiece with two exhaust ports and two nasal cannulae, connected to tubing that terminates in a Y-shaped coupling. The device connects to any positive pressure ventilator (CPAP or Bi-Level) via a standard 22mm port. It is used in hospital settings by clinicians to deliver noninvasive ventilation to adult patients. The interface facilitates the delivery of pressurized air (3-35 cm H2O) through the nasal passages. By providing a comfortable, size-customizable fit, it enables effective respiratory support, helping to treat respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea. The device allows for pressure monitoring during therapy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by biocompatibility requirements and functional bench testing comparing the device to predicate systems regarding pressure delivery, material safety, and interface compatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Silicone (latex-free). Sensing/Actuation: Passive interface for positive pressure ventilation. Energy Source: None (powered by external ventilator). Dimensions: 7-inch tubing, various nosepiece sizes. Connectivity: Standard 22mm ventilator connection. Sterilization: Provided non-sterile. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients requiring noninvasive ventilation for respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea, for use with CPAP or Bi-Level devices in hospital settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

Device Description - Nasal-Aire Criticial Care is ventilator interface accessory intended for use with a CPAP or Bi-Level device to provide noninvasive ventilation in adult patients for the treatment of respiratory insufficiencies or obstructive sleep apnea. This single use disposable interface is intended for hospital settings.
Nasal-Aire Critical Care consists of a soft nosepiece with two exhaust ports and two soft nasal cannula for fitting into the nasal openings. Connected on each side of the nosepiece is a length of tubing. The two lengths of tubing are joined at the opposite ends by a "Y"-shaped coupling, forming a loop with the nosepiece at one end and the "Y" coupling at the other. At the base of the "Y" coupling is a port for connection of the Nasal-Aire Critical Care to a positive pressure ventilation device. The Nasal-Aire Critical Care is compatible with any positive pressure ventilator containing a 22mm connection. Nasal-Aire Critical Care will be offered in various sizes designed for a comfortable and compliant fit for a wide variety of nare sizes.
