What is it indicated for?

The Wet Nose Technologies (WNT) Audible Pressure Release Valve (APRV) is intended for use with 'positive pressure' breathing gas delivery systems (e.g., High Flow nasal Cannula or bubble OPAP type systems) for pediatric/infants patients utilizing continuous flow systems with flow rates greater than 0 L/min and up, and including 15 L/min.

The Wet Nose Technologies (WNT) Audible Pressure Release Valve (APRV) is intended for use with 'positive pressure' breathing gas delivery systems (e.g., High Flow nasal Cannula or bubble OPAP type systems) for pediatric/infants patients utilizing continuous flow systems with flow rates greater than 0 L/min and up, and including 15 L/min. The device is intended for use when a disposable, low pressure (10 cm H20 +/-2 cm H20), low-moderate pressure (20 cm H20 +/- 4cm H20) or moderate-high pressure (40 cm H20 +/- 8 cm H20), audible, non-adjustable pressure relief valve is needed to be placed upstream of the patient in-line with the circuit to protect the patient from excessive inspiratory pressure in event of a downstream occlusion or an increase of system pressure above the relief pressure. Intended to alert the healthcare provider(s) of a need to take corrective action to reduce system pressure, the device emits an audible sound when circuit pressure is above relief pressure.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
