Intended Use

The NAPA LP-15 Airway Pressure Monitor is intended to measure and monitor mean airway pressure for neonatal patients being treated with positive pressure therapy, including neonatal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices (e.g. Bubble CPAP). The device provides audible and visual alarms when the airway pressure falls outside of the user selected high and low alarm limits. The device is intended to be pole mounted for stationary use in hospitals only. For professional use only.

Device Story

NAPA LP-15 is a compact, mains-operated monitor for neonatal CPAP therapy. It measures and displays 2-second mean airway pressure (0.0–15.0 cmH2O) via a solid-state pressure sensor connected to the patient airway through disposable tubing. The device features a microprocessor-controlled interface allowing clinicians to set high (4.0–15.0 cmH2O) and low (0.1–8.0 cmH2O) alarm thresholds. If pressure deviates from these limits, the device triggers audible and visual alarms. An alarm suspend function allows for 2-minute silencing. The device is pole-mounted for stationary use in hospitals and operated by professional staff. It provides continuous monitoring to assist clinicians in managing neonatal airway pressure, helping to ensure therapy remains within safe, effective ranges.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, alarm performance, and pressure measurement accuracy against calibrated reference sources. Software verification and validation were performed per IEC 62304.

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-controlled monitor; solid-state pressure sensor; 0.0-15.0 cmH2O measurement range; 0.1 cmH2O resolution. Mains-powered via medically rated external adapter.
