myAIRVO 2 Key Features

Simple to Use and Maintain

This device was designed with the user in mind. It is simple to set up, use, and clean. Thanks to several on-screen animations that show up-to-date information, compliance, and performance, setup and troubleshooting are made easy. Not only does this device include a bright display (that auto-dims at night time while you are sleeping), but it also has audible alarms to alert you if there are any issues.  Proper maintenance of the myAIRVO 2 ensures lasting performance, comfort, and health for patients.

Optiflow Nasal and Tracheostomy Interfaces

Both the Optiflow and tracheostomy technology of the nasal cannula reduce the formation of mobile condensate. It has comfortable and adjustable prongs that curve to the patient's nose. The wide-bore design decreases gas jetting. 

Heated Breathing Tube

The myAIRVO 2 also includes dual spiral heating wires within a tube for extreme comfort. This advanced two-spiral design reduces scold drips, gurgling, and other complaints caused by condensation. One of the spiral wires warms the air as it passes through the tube, while the other provides insulation to protect warmed air in the tube from temperature variations outside the tube. These wires working in unison provide warm, humidified air without any discomfort or other complications. They can also be attached to both Optiflow and Optiflow Junior. 

Adjustable Flow Settings

The myAIRVO 2 includes three different temperature settings (37, 34, and 31 °C) so patients can choose what is most comfortable for them. The integrated flow generator provides a wide variety of flow rates (2-60 L/min) for both adults and pediatric patients, with no need for a wall air supply.
