The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance to Vapotherm Inc's VAPO HVT (high-velocity therapy) 2.0.
Vapotherm high-velocity therapy is mask-free noninvasive ventilatory support and is a front-line tool for relieving respiratory distress.
The next-generation system is designed to provide high-velocity therapy using an integrated air source, eliminating the need for wall air or any pressurized air source.
When paired with an oxygen source, the HVT 2.0 will support patients whether they need respiratory support in the hospital or home setting.
The company is planning a limited commercial release of HVT 2.0 in the U.S. in Q4 of 2021.
