Description

The F&P Airvo 2 (Fisher & Paykel Airvo 2) is a mobile, integrated system that provides high-flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases (2-60 L/min) for spontaneously breathing patients, often using Optiflow nasal interfaces, for conditions like COPD, bronchiectasis, or tracheostomy care, delivering comfortable therapy via a heated breathing tube and chamber for easier breathing and mucus clearance. Key Features & Function: Humidification: Heats and humidifies air/oxygen mixtures to body temperature, reducing airway dryness. Integrated Flow Generator: Creates adjustable flows from 2 to 60 L/min, eliminating the need for a separate wall air supply. Optiflow Interfaces: Uses soft nasal cannulas, tracheostomy interfaces, or mask adapters for delivery. Heated Tube: Minimizes condensation (“rain-out”). For Spontaneously Breathing Patients: Supports patients who can breathe on their own but need respiratory support. Who Uses It: Patients with conditions requiring humidification, such as COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or nasal dryness. For tracheostomy care. Across various care settings, including hospitals and home care. How it Works (Simplified): Water: The device uses a heated chamber with water. Air/Oxygen: Air (from a concentrator) and/or supplemental oxygen are blended and heated. Delivery: The warmed, humidified gas is delivered through a heated tube and a chosen patient interface (like a nasal cannula).
