Adult patients requiring respiratory support and suitable for noninvasive ventilation have the option of a full face mask as the patient interface. The ventilator is providing positive pressure support by CPAP or bi-level techniques and has alarms and safety systems for ventilator failure. The mask is single patient use to be used on acute care patients who are in the hospital/institutional environment.
Device Story
Nasal-oral non-invasive patient interface; connects to ventilator breathing tube via double swivel adaptor; delivers pressurized gases (CPAP/bi-level). Features: contoured base with soft facial seal; exhalation vent (holes above nasal bridge) for gas flushing; oxygen/pressure ports for monitoring. Used in hospital/acute care settings; operated by clinicians. Device provides respiratory support for patients with respiratory insufficiency/failure. Benefits: non-invasive pressure support; reduces leakage; provides interface for ventilator-delivered therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance and biocompatibility testing compared to Flexifit mask demonstrated substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Nasal-oral mask; soft facial seal; headgear with quick-release clip; double swivel adaptor; exhalation vent with holes; oxygen/pressure monitoring ports. Single patient use. Non-mechanical/non-electronic; no software or energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure requiring noninvasive bi-level or CPAP ventilation in hospital/institutional settings. Must be used with ventilators equipped with alarms and safety systems for ventilator failure. For single patient use.
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.

## 5.1 Description
The Acute Care Face Mask is a nasal-oral non invasive patient interface. The mask is held on the face with headgear straps and a quick release clip. It connects to a single breathing tube by a double swivel adaptor, to receive pressurized gases. On the body, or base, of the mask is an exhalation vent located above the bridge of the nose that allows exhaled gases to be continually flushed and removed to room air. The base is contoured and has a soft facial seal for comfort and to reduce leakage. Oxygen and pressure ports in the base can be used for pressure monitoring and supplemental oxygen tube connection.
## 5.2 Intended use
Adult patients requiring respiratory support and suitable for noninvasive ventilation have the option of a full face mask as the patient interface. The ventilator is providing positive pressure support by CPAP or bi-level techniques and has alarms and safety systems for ventilator failure. The mask is single patient use to be used on acute care patients who are in the hospital/institutional environment.
### Technological characteristics comparison 5.3
The Acute Care Face Mask is very similar to the Flexifit mask. It uses the same base shape and seal, headgear, quick release clip and also contains an exhalation vent. Both are for non continuous ventilation. The Acute Care mask differs with the use of the exhalation vent containing holes, rather than the slots of the Flexifit mask, and the holes are positioned above the nasal bridge whereas the slots are above and below the mouth. It also differs in not using a non rebreathing valve unlike the Flexifit mask that includes one.
The absence of a non rebreathing valve or anti asphyxiation valve is possible when the mask is indicated for use with ventilators that have alarms and safety systems for ventilator failure, as with the Image3 SE mask. The Image3 SE is cleared for continuous ventilator use but like the Acute Care mask encounters the same situation if the ventilator fails.
## 5.4 Non-clinical tests
Testing of the Acute Care mask was compared to the Flexifit mask for performance and biocompatibility. These tests show that the Acute Care mask has substantial equivalence to the Flexifit mask.
#### 5.5 Conclusion
The Acute Care Face Mask is substantially equivalent to the Flexifit and Image3 SE masks. The comparison of features, performance, and intended use demonstrate that the Acute Care mask is at least as safe and effective for non invasive ventilation
