Product Spotlight: Fisher & Paykel myAIRVO

February 17, 2021

Introducing the Fisher & Paykel myAIRVO™2, delivering airway hydration and respiratory support with a focus on comfort and ease of use.

Introducing the Fisher & Paykel myAIRVO 2

The myAIRVO 2 has been designed specifically to be an integrated solution for delivering nasal high flow with Optiflow™. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s leading humidification technology allows the myAIRVO 2 to comfortably provide high flows of air/oxygen mixtures to spontaneously breathing patients, through the unique Optiflow nasal cannula or tracheostomy interfaces.

What Is Nasal High Flow Therapy?

Nasal high flow therapy is used to treat spontaneously breathing patients and patients who have had their airways bypassed. It can be used on a wide range of patient types, ages, and disease states. Depending on the patient needs, NHF therapy can be delivered up to 60 liters per minute (LPM). It can be useful for reducing re-breathing carbon dioxide and increasing mucociliary clearance. A visit to your doctor will help determine whether or not nasal high flow therapy is an appropriate treatment for your needs.

Fisher & Paykel myAIRVO 2 Benefits

Adjustable Temperature and Flow Settings

The Fisher & Paykel myAIRVO 2 comes complete with three temperature settings (37, 34, 31°C) to help achieve comfort and compliance. These settings can easily be changed via the unit's simple control panel. An integrated flow generator delivers a wide flow range (2-60 LPM) for a wide range of patient needs. No wall air supply is required.

Consult with your physician prior to changing your flow setting.

AirSpiral™ Heated Breathing Tube

The AirSpiral heated tubing utilizes an advanced dual-spiral design to help eliminate up to 93 percent of tube condensation. This means fewer therapy interruptions and an overall more comfortable experience. AirSpiral is a 2-in-1 tube that connects to both the Optiflow™ and Optiflow Junior patient interfaces. No separate temperature probes or heater-wire adapters required; simply click into place and you are ready to go!

The AirSpiral tubing also comes with a management clip to help minimize drag and further enhance therapy comfort. AirSpiral heated tubing should be replaced every 60 days.

Optiflow™ Nasal & Tracheostomy Interfaces

Evaqua™ technology reduces formation of mobile condensate in the short tube of the interface. Soft, flexible prongs contoured to the patient’s nose fit just inside the nostrils for direct airflow where needed. The wide-bore design helps to reduce gas jetting. For tracheostomy patients, a specially designed interface is available.

Both the Optiflow nasal cannula and the tracheostomy interface should be replaced every 30 days, while the Optiflow Junior interface should be replaced every 7 days.

Supplemental Oxygen

As previously mentioned, supplemental oxygen can be added from a wall supply or concentrator. Simply connect the oxygen tubing to the myAIRVO 2 oxygen port. The built-in, ultrasonic oxygen analyzer requires no calibration, service or replacement. The unit does, however, come with an air filter that is replaceable every 90 days.

If connecting supplemental oxygen, make sure it is firmly in place, and never allow oxygen to flow through the unit when it is powered off.
