The Vapotherm 2000i is a high flow, vapor-phase hydration system that delivers high-flow air or oxygen via nasal cannula or other patient interfaces.

The Vapotherm 2000i is a respiratory therapy device that allows high flows of breathing gases to be delivered by a narrow tube such as a nasal cannula or trans-tracheal cannula, using patented membrane technology to warm and saturate the gas stream.

 

The Vapotherm system is defined by its ability to deliver breathing gases ideally conditioned (i.e. molecular water vapor, sterile, saturated but without condensation) at high flows at or above body temperature.

 

 

 

This concurrence of attributes --flow, humidity and warmth-- permits treatment of a broad range of indications.

  • High flow as indicated for numerous chronic lung diseases, either to improve gas exchange or to reduce work of breathing. Vapotherm's ability to efficiently moisturize and warm the flow expands options to include nasal and tracheal delivery of gas flow rates of up to 40 L/min (nasal) and 20 L/min (tracheal) without discomfort or damage to airway epithelia.

  • High humidity and warmth as indicated in upper airway inflammatory conditions (laryngitis, croup, sinusitis, rhinitis), reflex induced bronchoconstriction (asthma, exercise induced stress), and in respiratory hygiene (cystic fibrosis, tracheostomy care, wound healing). The high flows and elevated dew point allow ample delivery of moisture and warmth in these cases.

  • Warmth delivered directly to the patient's core as indicated in hypothermia (accidental or post-operative). Vapotherm's ability to deliver high flows of breathing gases above body temperature allows the heat of condensation to be transferred directly to the patient's core, safely and non-invasively.

Features:

  • Delivers 95% to 100% relative humidity

  • Up to 55mg of water vapor per liter of inspired air

  • Membrane technology provides highly effective barrier to particle-borne infection

  • Unique delivery tube virtually eliminates rain-out

  • High flow does not cool or dry patient airways

  • Use of cannula minimizes interference with patient activities

  • Operating flow range of 5-40 lpm for adults and 1-8lpm neonatal applications from external source

  • 33-43 degrees Celsius output temperature

  • Lightweight: Less than 3 kilograms

  • Compact: Attaches to IV pole

  • Easy to use and set up

  • Single display monitors all system functions
