Design Specifications

The Dolphin CPAP is an all-in-one CPAP treatment and monitoring device. The design integrates gas mixing, humidification, bubble PEEP/CPAP chamber, air compressor and pulse oximiter components in one unit.

The gas mixer electronically blends FiO2. The humidification component is a passover humidifier that automatically refills for up to 3 days of continuous operation. The humidifier takes less than 20 minutes to warm up at room temperature. The integrated diaphragm air compressor eliminates the need for an external air source. Additional performance specifications for each component of the Dolphin CPAP are on the product webpage.

The Dolphin CPAP is 100% reusable. Most components of the patient circuit can be autoclaved or chemically disinfected if an autoclave is not available.

Vetted Performance Status

A 12-month pilot program was completed for the MTTS CPAP, the predicate device to the Dolphin CPAP. Results of the pilot program with the predicate device indicated that 24-hour mortality from respiratory distress syndrome was reduced by 75% after the introduction of the device.1 Additionally, a study with 100 infants that compared the effects of MTTS CPAP to an industry standard device showed no significant difference between the outcomes. Vetted performance conducted for the Dolphin CPAP is unknown.

Safety

The Dolphin CPAP is equipped with over voltage / over current protection and a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 100,000 hours.
