Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).Fisher & paykel healthcare (f&p) is currently in the process of completing our investigation.We will provide a follow up report upon completion of investigation.Product background: the opt942 optiflow + adult nasal cannula is a nasal cannula patient interface for delivery of humidified respiratory gases, including those who are receiving nasal high flow therapy (nhf).Optiflow + interfaces are designed for use with the airvo 2 series of humidification devices.Nhf therapy and the airvo 2 device are intended for use with spontaneously breathing patients who would benefit from receiving high flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases.The airvo 2 device should not be used for life support purposes, and appropriate patient monitoring must be used at all times.The cannula consists of a lightweight delivery tube connected to a rigid plastic base and soft nasal prongs (nasal interface).This allows the device to be light weight and durable.The interface is held in place by a head strap and features a head strap clip which works in tandem with the tubing clip (attaches to the patient's clothing/bedding) to support the weight of the circuit and prevent the cannula being dislodged.

"cannula can become unattached if not used with the head strap clip." "attach tubing clip to clothing/bedding to prevent cannula from pulling off face." "appropriate patient monitoring must be used at all times.Failure to monitor the patient may result in loss of therapy, serious injury or death." "do not crush or stretch tube, to prevent loss of therapy." "failure to use the set-up described above can compromise performance and affect patient safety.
