Fisher & Paykel Healthcare launches Nova Nasal Mask in the U.S.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has announced the United States launch of its newest nasal PAP mask for treating obstructive sleep apnea, the F&P Nova Nasal mask.

Building on the success of the F&P Nova Micro™ and F&P Solo™ masks, the new F&P Nova Nasal delivers advanced technology to enhance mask performance and support patient adherence to PAP therapy.

When designing F&P Nova Nasal, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare set out to create a mask that delivers strongly in the key areas that define performance: easy fitting, stable seal, and a sound sleep.

• Easy fitting: F&P Nova Nasal’s SwingFitTM headgear allows users to simply anchor the cushion on the nose, swing the headgear around their head and secure with one click. The headgear naturally aligns to the frame for easy fastening.
• Stable seal: The comfortable RollFit cushion and the pivoting clips conform to the patient’s nose, rolling with movement to help prevent leaks, regardless of their preferred sleeping position.
• Sound sleep: A washable diffuser minimizes noise and draft, supporting a restful night’s sleep for both the user and their bed partner.

In addition, F&P Nova Nasal features structured side arms that help deliver a stable seal while providing a clear field of view. The arms are covered in F&P’s soft AirEdge fabric to help prevent marks on the face. For added versatility, the mask includes an optional tube clip, allowing patients to position the tube up and over the head or wear it down, depending on their preference.

The mask is supported by positive clinical trial results:

• 91% of trial users found SwingFit intuitive to use.1
• 98% of trial users felt they could sleep in their preferred position and move freely without leaks. 2
• 100% of trial users rated the noise level while sleeping as quiet or very quiet.3

Steve Wilson, VP Sales & Marketing North America, said the new F&P Nova Nasal combines comfort with easy fitting to encourage mask adherence.

“With more than 25 years of innovation behind us, we know the mask is key to PAP therapy success. F&P Nova Nasal complements our range of high-performance masks, giving patients options that fit their needs and lifestyle,” he said.
