Indications for Use
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Bubble CPAP System is intended to provide CPAP to spontaneously breathing neonates and infants who require breathing support due to conditions associated with prematurity (such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome) or other conditions where CPAP is required or desired and is prescribed by a physician. The Bubble CPAP System is for use in the hospital clinical environment such as the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit). The intended patient population is premature and full term neonates up to a weight of 10 kg. All components of the Bubble CPAP System are single use only.
Device Story
System provides respiratory support to spontaneously breathing neonates/infants; delivers heated/humidified gas via nasal interface. Components: in-line pressure relief valve, humidification chamber, heated breathing circuit, nasal interface, water column threshold resistor (CPAP generator). Operates at 4-15 L/min flow; 3-10 cmH2O CPAP levels. Used in hospital settings (NICU/PICU) by clinicians. Water column resistor creates pressure oscillations; auto-leveling mechanism compensates for condensate to maintain stable mean CPAP. Output: continuous positive airway pressure. Benefits: provides respiratory support for premature infants; reduces work of breathing compared to electronic valve predicates.
Clinical Evidence
Eight peer-reviewed reports, including three randomized controlled trials, demonstrate successful clinical use. Evidence confirms device safety and efficacy in various settings, with positive outcomes compared to other respiratory support forms. Bench testing confirms compliance with ISO 8185:2007 and ISO 5367:2000, and demonstrates significantly lower work of breathing compared to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Water column threshold resistor for CPAP generation; heated breathing circuit; in-line pressure relief valve. Materials biocompatible per ISO 10993-1. Meets ISO 8185:2007 (humidification) and ISO 5367:2000 (occlusion resistance). Single-use components. Operates at 4-15 L/min flow; 3-10 cmH2O pressure. Auto-leveling mechanism for condensate management.
Indications for Use
Indicated for spontaneously breathing neonates and infants up to 10 kg requiring CPAP support for conditions associated with prematurity (e.g., Respiratory Distress Syndrome) or other conditions requiring CPAP. Contraindicated in non-spontaneously breathing infants, infants not requiring CPAP, gas flows >15 L/min, and non-hospital environments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noncontinuous ventilator (intermittent positive pressure breathing-IPPB) is a device intended to deliver intermittently an aerosol to a patient's lungs or to assist a patient's breathing.
