Fisher & Paykel Healthcare releases new OSA Full Face Mask in USA
Auckland, New Zealand, 14 October 2019 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited
announced today that F&P Vitera
TM
, its new mask for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is now
available for sale in the United States.
F&P Vitera
F&P Vitera is a full-face mask that redefines mask performance through a combination of
unique technologies to provide high levels of stability and durability. It offers dynamic support
through the RollFit
TM
XT Seal, which is designed to minimise leaks and pressure on the
bridge of the nose. A stability bar keeps the mask in place throughout the night.
“On full-face masks, leaks are the number one complaint from patients,” said Justin
Callahan, president of the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare US business. “Vitera is designed to
remain stable on the face and maintain a comfortable and effective seal, so patients can
sleep in their preferred position and wake up refreshed and energised.”
The mask also incorporates VentiCool™ breathable technology in the headgear. This
proprietary fabric helps to dissipate heat and moisture, providing a comfortable patient
experience. Together with other new design features such as headgear clips, grip tabs and
VisiBlue™ highlights, Vitera is an exciting addition to the popular F&P range of OSA masks.
F&P Vitera is already available in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Europe and will be
available in other regions upon receiving the relevant regulatory clearances. Details can be
found on our US website, www.fphcare.com/vitera or by contacting your local Fisher &
Paykel Healthcare sales representative.
