Indications for use
The Bubble CPAP Therapy provided by the device is indicated for the respiratory
support of spontaneously breathing neonatal patients with mild to severe idiopathic
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), mild to severe apnea, atelectasis, hyaline
membrane disease (HMD), meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), transient
tachypnea of the neonate (TTN) or lung edema. The device is indicated for use in a
hospital setting. The device is not indicated for use with patients whose upper airways
have been bypassed.
The Pulse Oximetry Monitoring provided by the device is indicated for the
continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial
hemoglobin (SpO
2
). The device and its accessories are indicated for use with neonatal
patients during both motion and no motion conditions, who are well or poorly
perfused patients in a hospital setting.
