Operating flow range These flow ranges are supported from 18-26 °C for adult and 20-26 °C for neonatal. | Adult Invasive mode: 5–60 L/min Mask mode: 5–120 L/min Optiflow mode: 5–70 L/min | Pediatric Invasive mode: 1–60 L/min Mask mode: 1–60 L/min Optiflow mode: 1–60 L/min | Neonatal mode: 0.5–40 L/min See breathing circuit user instructions for specific flow ranges. |
Yes. The F&P 950 System can support therapy delivery for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. Pediatric patients can use pediatric-specific circuits or a combination of adult and neonatal circuits.
Clean the humidifier using a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or neutral detergent.
Do not immerse or autoclave the humidifier, sensor cartridge or Expiratory Heater-wire Adapter. Do not spray liquid into the vents or onto electrical connectors. Failure to comply may result in irreparable damage to the device.
Yes. Occasionally, users may need to make some adjustments.
Yes. While an unheated extension is not required for the delivery of most therapies due to Thermadapt™ technology, allowing all F&P 950 neonatal circuits to automatically adapt to their ambient environment. An unheated extension may still be required when delivering Nitric Oxide on the F&P 950 device.
All temperature probes in the F&P 950 are either protected by SensiDomes™ or incorporated into the disposable single-use circuit. The SensiDomes provide a microbial barrier, which removes the need for disinfection or sterilization between patients.
Adult and pediatric patients:
Neonatal patients:
Yes. If an adult or pediatric circuit is connected, the user can change the setpoint temperature in Mask and Optiflow modes. However, the setpoint in neonatal mode is 37 °C.
The F&P 950 System has an advanced internal control system and new technology that improves performance, including:
No. All F&P 950 circuits are specific to the F&P 950 device. Each circuit type has a unique identifier, allowing the Heaterbase to adjust the user interface accordingly.
The F&P 950 heaterbase will display both visual and text based alarms. The F&P 950 alarm signal is 3 beeps repeated every 5 seconds.

If you continue having trouble with condensate in your breathing circuit, please contact your F&P 950 representative.
The F&P 950 System can be used with most modern ventilators. Speak to your F&P 950 representative to find out more about compatibility with your specific ventilator.
All circuits have a 14-day duration of use.
