Adult airways can face challenges from both acute and chronic conditions. Heated and humidified respiratory support promotes physiological balance and supports mucociliary clearance to promote efficient gas exchange.Heated humidification during respiratory support can also enhance patient comfort and therapy tolerance. The F&P 950 System has a wide range of circuits designed for use with the adult patient population.

When an adult breathing circuit is connected to the F&P 950 System, the device can support therapy delivery in user-selectable Invasive, Mask or Optiflow™ (nasal high flow) modes.

• Invasive mode: Invasive mode is intended for patients with their upper airways bypassed by an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube.
• Mask mode: Mask mode is intended for patients whose upper airway is not bypassed and who are receiving respiratory support via a face mask or similar.
• Optiflow mode: Optiflow mode is intended for patients who require respiratory support through an Optiflow nasal high flow interface.
