THRIVE™ transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange has been shown to provide effective preoxygenation, reduce the risk of desaturation and extend safe apnea time.


The low-profile Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface with anesthesia mask compatibility simplifies the switch between bag-mask ventilation and THRIVE technique.
  



Introduction of the F&P Optiflow Switch Interface with Prof. Anil Patel

Optiflow Switch – Filtered Nasal Interface with anesthesia mask compatibility

  1. Adjustable headstrap
  2. Soft nasal prongs
    (designed to remain in patient’s nares)
  3. Low-profile design to fit the contour of a patient’s face via a soft, flexible and streamlined shape.
  4. Compressible section.
  5. Pleated, hydrophobic, HEPA filter
    • Bacterial efficiency ≥ 99.999%
    • Viral efficiency ≥ 99.996%

Simplifying THRIVE
 
The Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface reduces the number of steps required to bag-mask ventilate a patient vs. standard Optiflow™ interfaces.





Bag-mask ventilation
 
 You can now switch between bag-mask ventilation and THRIVE while the interface is fitted to the patient*.
 
*while the flow diverter is in use




Optiflow Switch Interface with our F&P 950™ Optiflow THRIVE™ system for use in general anesthesia and procedural sedation

Enables users to deliver:
 
Heated humidification
 
Up to 70 L/min of flow
 
Up to 100% O2 


 

Flow Diverter

The Flow Diverter is a dynamic pressure relief valve that automatically measures flow and adjusts the pressure accordingly to reduce and increase flow rate.

When used with the Flow Diverter, the Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface allows bag-mask ventilation while the interface is fitted to the patient's face.

Users can bag-mask ventilate while the Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface is in place

When a mask is fitted over the interface...

Flow is interrupted and redirected into the atmosphere by the Flow Diverter.
Oxygen flow resumes when the mask is lifted from the interface.
