Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corp has launched the F&P Solo Nasal CPAP mask, which features auto-adjusting technology, in the United States for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The AutoFit mask, F&P Solo, simplifies setup, enabling users to stretch the mask onto the face and adjust it with one touch. Without conventional straps or clips, the mask reduces overtightening on the face. AutoLock technology holds the mask in place with minimal force and dynamically responds to sleep movement and CPAP-therapy pressure. 

“F&P Solo Nasal marks the creation of our AutoFit segment, and our teams have delivered a significant leap in mask innovation, driven by the unwavering commitment to enhance patient outcomes. The simplified setup and fit process make it a valuable addition to our product lineup,” says Justin Callahan, vice president of sales and marketing for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, in a release.

The mask is supported by positive clinical trial results:
• 95% of users can set themselves up without assistance; and
• 93% of patients rated their experience with the F&P Solo Nasal mask as simple or very simple.

F&P Solo Nasal comes with a nasal cushion, featuring dynamic support technology that allows freedom of movement, while keeping the cushion comfortably in place. The cushion is available in four sizes (small, medium, large, and wide), and one size for the headgear.

“Patients can set themselves up without assistance and then easily finetune the mask during nightly use for an optimal fit,” says Andrew Somervell, vice president of products and technology at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, in a release. “Our focus on what’s best for the patient led us here. We sought a result that optimizes for both comfort and simplicity, and we believe F&P Solo delivers on this.”

User-friendly packaging and the myMask app provide setup confidence and additional ongoing support if needed.
