Simplifying THRIVE

The Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface reduces the number of steps required to bag-mask ventilate a patient vs. standard Optiflow™ interfaces.
Bag-mask ventilation

You can now switch between bag-mask ventilation and THRIVE while the interface is fitted to the patient*.

*while the flow diverter is in use

Optiflow Switch Interface with our F&P 950™ Optiflow THRIVE™ system for use in general anesthesia and procedural sedation

Enables users to deliver:

Heated humidification

Up to 70 L/min of flow

Up to 100% O2

 

Flow Diverter

The Flow Diverter is a dynamic pressure relief valve that automatically measures flow and adjusts the pressure accordingly to reduce and increase flow rate.

When used with the Flow Diverter, the Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface allows bag-mask ventilation while the interface is fitted to the patient's face.

Users can bag-mask ventilate while the Optiflow Switch Nasal Interface is in place

When a mask is fitted over the interface...
Flow is interrupted and redirected into the atmosphere by the Flow Diverter.
Oxygen flow resumes when the mask is lifted from the interface.
