Fisher & Paykel Healthcare releases F&P Visairo
™ hospital under-nose mask for
noninvasive ventilation

Auckland, New Zealand, 17 November 2021 – Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has announced the
launch of F&P Visairo™, a hospital under-nose mask for noninvasive ventilation, in the United
States.

F&P Visairo is a new high-performance under-nose hospital mask with dynamic support
technology. This allows for bridge-free noninvasive ventilation, which eliminates pressure from
the bridge of the nose and clears the way for an open field of vision, without compromising on
stability and performance. Stability wings in the mask frame provide support for the floating seal
to remain comfortable and stable on the patient’s face.

In trials of F&P Visairo, 96 percent of clinicians rated the mask ‘very good’ or ‘good’ for
performance, and 95 percent rated it ‘very good’ or ‘good’ for comfort.

“The feedback we have received from clinicians has been impressive,” said Dr Andrew
Somervell, VP Products and Technology for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.

“For hospital patients who require higher levels of respiratory support without intubation, Visairo
provides a more comfortable experience, so the therapy is more likely to be effective. It sits
comfortably on the face and allows for a clear field of vision, so patients can wear glasses, read
or watch television during their treatment,” said Dr Somervell.

F&P Visairo is currently available in the U.S., New Zealand, Australia, and Europe and will be
released to other regions upon receiving regulatory clearances. The mask is available in three
sizes to correspond to the dimensions of the patient’s nose. Details can be found at
www.fphcare.com/visairo or by contacting your local Fisher & Paykel Healthcare sales
representative.

Clinicians' responses were collected at 12 different hospitals in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Data was gathered from at
least 93 responses.
