HIGH FLOW OXYGEN THERAPY
- The LUISA, with High Flow Therapy (HFT), is a home ventilator that offers all the potential benefits of HFT for patients that meet the clinical requirements for home ventilation. High Flow Therapy can deliver a high flow blend of air and oxygen, through a high-flow nasal cannula, which can improve oxygenation and decrease the workload of breathing in a wide array of patient populations.High Flow Therapy has been used in critical care, emergency departments, and is now available to the ventilator patient at home.High Flow Therapy provides a flow rate that meets or exceeds a patient’s inspiratory flow demand. This high flow rate can reduce the work of breathing and more closely match inspiratory demand through adjustable oxygen delivery and flow dependent clearance of carbon dioxide.
EASY TO USE
LUISA has the potential to help manage nocturnally ventilated patients during the day with a less obtrusive oxygen flow delivery method that can potentially lead to:
- Enhanced oxygenation compared to conventional low-flow oxygenation
- Improved work of breathing
- Better secretion clearance
- Increase in activities of daily living like eating, drinking and talking
- Superior comfort and less anxiety or claustrophobia which could lead to better compliance
The LUISA provides the flexibility of High Flow Oxygen Therapy, for your patients that meet clinical requirements for home ventilation, in all circuits with a flow range of 5-60 lpm.
LUISA offers all the benefits of High Flow Therapy for your ventilator patients in one device at home.
TAILORED THERAPY
LUISA provides ventilator support and utilizes all standard volume, pressure and mouthpiece ventilation modes with the added benefit of High Flow Therapy. Ventilator modes include LUISA’s targeted tidal volume, volume-assured pressure support, auto EPAP (TTV-VAPS-AE).
PORTABILITY
Internal and external batteries offer long-lasting battery life with up to 18 hours of use. LUISA is a lightweight and portable ventilator that offers two position functionality for flexibility of use at bedside, in an easy-to-carry durable bag or mounted on a wheelchair.
EASE OF USE
The LUISA is designed for simple set-up and operation. A large, angled and rotatable 10-inch touchscreen provides an easy to view screen when programming the device through its’ intuitive menu. It also provides easy visibility for patients from many angles while in use. The LUISA is a multi-purpose ventilator that does not require any adapters for different circuits.
PERSONALIZED REPORTS
Device connectivity allows for personalized therapy data downloads. The customized reports provide essential information to manage your respiratory patients and ensure they are maximizing their therapy.
