The Clarissa Infant nCPAP Cannula is intended to be used for the administration of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on continuously monitored neonatal and infant patients in the hospital/institutional environment.

The Clarissa Infant nCPAP Cannula is a soft hollow medical grade silicone coaxial pouch with protruding silicone cannula tips that fit into the infant's nares. Continuous flow circulates through the coaxial pouch under positive pressure from which the patient breathes via the cannula. The distal end of the pouch has a swivel adapter with three external ports and one external port. One external port is for pressure and the other two are in-flow and out-flow ports which are bi-directional. The internal port on the swivel adapter is the connection for the internal tube leading to the proximal cannula to minimize dead space.

The Airways Nasalflair is intended for use as a therapeutic device under the direction of qualified medical personnel. Nasalflair is used by patients who have been prescribed nCPAP as a treatment for Sleep Apnea. Nasalflair may be used with CPAP and flow generators capable of generating 20 t 2 cmH20 pressure via a 22mm I.D. main flow air supply tube.

Prescribed positive pressure is produced and regulated by the flow generator. Gas flow travels from the flow generator through a 22mm I.D. corrugated tube that connects to the Nasalflair wye piece which splits the flow and sends it through two flexible lSmm I.D tubes, each connects to a J shaped piece having cuffed cannulae that fit into patient's nares directing the air flow into the nasal passage, oral pharynx, trachea, and into the lungs . The Y piece is attached to a soft nylon lined foam pad that rests on the patient's forehead and is held in place with adjustable hook/loop straps. Different types of head gear may be used depending on individual patient preference.
