We understand that the NIV journey can be a stressful time for both patients and clinicians.
The F&P Nivairo™ mask incorporates thoughtful design features that help to address the challenges you may face along the recovery journey.
NIV masks have been cited as one of the leading causes of pressure ulcers in the ICU.1
A hospital-acquired pressure ulcer can not only lead to therapy failure, but can also cost US hospitals from $20,900 to $151,700 per pressure ulcer.2
The F&P Nivairo mask is designed to assist in establishing a comfortable seal without overtightening the headgear or creating excessive facial pressure.
Patient discomfort remains responsible for up to 33% of NIV failure.3 This can be due to irritation from leakage, incorrect mask sizing or overtightening of the headgear.
The F&P Nivairo mask uses the same comfortable seal technology as our award-winning F&P Simplus™
mask for sleep apnea treatment.
It can be challenging to fit an NIV mask precisely, especially on a patient in distress. There are infinite patient face shapes and sizes to contend with and masks are often inadvertently overtightened.
The F&P Nivairo mask is designed to make the NIV journey easier and help overcome these challenges.
RollFit™
The NIV mask seal rolls back and forth automatically to adjust to the natural contours of the patient's face to minimize leak and help reduce facial pressure.
TubeFit™
The nasogastric (NG)/ orogastric (OG) tube seal zones reduce the risk of over-tightening to maintain a seal. TubeFit also helps reduce the amount of pressure required for a seal over the NG/OG tubes.
SizeMe guide
The Nivairo SizeMe guide is simple and color coded for quick sizing of your patient. It is also packed separately so you can size your patient without having to unseal the mask.
ErgoFit headgear
The ErgoFit headgear has simple Velcro™ adjustment straps along with Easy Clips on the lower straps to enable a more comfortable fit.
Our F&P Nivairo masks are available in four sizes, including an extra-small model to suit a wide range of patient face shapes. Designed to suit the needs of your patients, our range includes vented and non-vented mask options for CPAP and Bi-level (also known as BiPAP) NIV therapy.
Sizes: XS. S, M and L
