Unclip the tubing, if necessary, to start the flow of water. • Set the therapy parameters on the device. • Once priming completed, tap the [Start Therapy] button on the screen. • When the temperature on the screen reaches at least 33°C, connect the patient’s cannula to the delivery tube. Stop / Pause Therapy • Tap the [Stop therapy] button on the screen. • Confirm by tapping [Yes, stop] on the Confirmation pop-up screen. • The device will go into Standby mode.

Indications / Intended Use The HVT 2.0 system provides high velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) with simultaneous warmed and humidified respiratory gas delivery to augment breathing of spontaneously breathing adult and pediatric patients (5kg and up) suffering from respiratory distress and/or hypoxemia in the hospital setting, via small bore nasal cannula. HVT 2.0 is not intended to provide total ventilatory requirements of the patient and not for use during field transport. The flow rates may be from 5 to 45 liters per minute (BTPS). The device is intended to be used in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and sub-acute facilities. Contraindications: General Not appropriate for patients who are not spontaneously breathing, are unable to protect their airway, or have anatomic or injury induced blockage of the nasal pathway to the nasopharyngeal space. The HVT 2.0 system is not for treating OSA and snoring. HVT 2.0 is not for field transport. The HVT 2.0 is MRI unsafe. Do not use it in an MRI environment. Not for use with an Oxygen Concentrator (when treating respiratory distress). Note: Additional patient monitoring including pulse oximetry is necessary if the HVT 2.0 is used to give supplementary oxygen.
