rPAP - Inspiration Healthcare

The Lowest iWOB Resuscitation Device

The Inspire rPAP™ is a revolutionary, 2-piece non-invasive system for the initial stabilisation and resuscitation of infants.

It’s innovative, patented design combines the ability to administer inflation breaths with all the clinical benefits

of the gold standard fluidic flip nCPAP technology. Following birth, the first moments are crucial in defining the

respiratory management required to deliver the best outcomes for the infant.

Revolution From The First Breath

Current guidelines recommend the use of a T-piece resuscitation device to deliver a constant stable pressure to the infant’s airways, facilitating restoration of the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC). The challenges faced with traditional T-piece resuscitation devices is that they deliver high imposed work of breathing (iWOB) and are pressure unstable. Inspire rPAP overcomes these by significantly reducing iWOB by up to 92%* and providing a stable mean airway pressure. From the first breath, Inspire rPAP supports the infant throughout the critical stages of its journey towards respiratory independence.

Imposed Work of Breathing

The Inspire rPAP™ is the first of its kind to introduce low iWOB into a resuscitation device. Its groundbreaking design works in harmony with the infants’ own respiratory efforts to ensure they do not tire so quickly and preserve valuable energy.

Clinical studies suggest that nCPAP should be used as the primary respiratory intervention prior to intubation (for infants ≥ 28 weeks gestational age)†. Inspire rPAP enables clinicians to quickly and seamlessly transition the infant onto nCPAP. This, partnered with the additional capability to add supplementary inflation breaths, means more infants can be successfully maintained on nCPAP therapy.
