The ReddyPort Elbow is intended to provide an interface for application of CPAP or bi-level therapy to the patient including while the patient is simultaneously undergoing another care procedure (e.g. oral care, suctioning, bronchoscopy) by hospital/institutional clinicians. The elbow is for single patient use in the hospital/institutional environment. The elbow is to be used on patients (> 40 lbs/ 18.2 kg) for whom CPAP or bi-level therapy has been prescribed. The elbow can be used with Philips Respironics AF541 masks and AF531 masks with the clip-style connection.
Device Story
ReddyPort Elbow is a non-invasive ventilation (NIV) interface component; replaces standard mask elbows on Philips Respironics AF541/AF531 masks. Device features a duckbill valve for clinical access (oral care, suctioning, bronchoscopy) and an anti-asphyxia valve for safety. Used in hospital/institutional settings by clinicians; maintains positive pressure during procedures. Input is pressurized air from ventilator circuit; output is delivered therapy to patient airway. Benefits include enabling respiratory care procedures without removing the mask or interrupting ventilation. Device is single-patient use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only, including ISO 17510:2015 (sleep apnea breathing therapy masks), ISO 5356-1:2015 (conical connectors), mask/tubing connection force, dead space, and resistance to flow. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 and ISO 18562 series for long-term (>30 days) indirect tissue contact.
Technological Characteristics
Polypropylene body; silicone elastomer valves (duckbill and anti-asphyxia). 22mm patient circuit connection. Streamlined, low dead-space (37.59 mL) design. Non-sterile (clean). Compatible with clip-style mask interfaces. Pressure range 4-30 cmH2O.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients (> 40 lbs/ 18.2 kg) requiring CPAP or bi-level therapy in a hospital/institutional setting, including during concurrent procedures like oral care, suctioning, or bronchoscopy. Compatible with Philips Respironics AF541 and AF531 masks with clip-style connections.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

#### Device Description
The ReddyPort Elbow is an NIV elbow that replaces the elements AF541 style masks and AF531 masks with a clip-style comection and provides oral access for clinicians to the patient's airway during CPAP and bi-level therapy. The ReddyPort Elbow is compatible with both Over the Nose (OTN) cushion ((S, M, L, XL sizes) and an Under the Nose (UTN) cushion (A, B, C sizes) configurations of the AF541 EE Mask and AF531 mask with clip-style connection. ReddyPort permanently replaces the conventional elbow on the mask and maintains positive pressure. This elbow allows for respiratory care procedures (e.g. oral care, suctioning, bronchoscopy) to be performed on a patient while the patient is receiving non-invasive ventilation. The elbow contains a duckbill valve that allows the patient's airway and that seals with similar leak rates to conventional NIV elbows. In addition, the elbow includes an anti-asphysia valve to ensure safety of the patient.
#### Intended Use/Indications for Use
The ReddyPort Elbow is intended to provide an interface for application of CPAP or bi-level therapy to the patient is simultaneously undergoing another care procedure (e.g. oral care, suctioning, bronchoscopy) by hospital/institutional clinicians. The elbow is for single patient use in the hospital'institutional environment. The elbow is to be used on patients (> 40 lbs/ 18.2 kg) for whom CPAP or bi-level therapy has been prescribed. The elbow can be used with Philips Respironics AF541 masks with the clip-style connection.
