Principles of function and technical specification
2.1.Pediflow
Pediflow is a patient interface which can be used for CPAP respiratory support - and/or for non-invasive ventilation in combination with
a ventilator. Pediflow is connected to the inspiration and expiration tubing and thus with the ventilator. The ventilation parameters are
adjusted and controlled on the ventilation device. The ventilation device also provides the necessary gas flow.
In the Pediflow, the expiration and the inspiration gas flow are separate from each other until they reach the mask. The mask is flexibly
connected with the Pediflow by means of a ball joint. This enables the position of the Pediflow to be adapted to the nasal anatomy and
size of the baby and thus facilitates attachment.
The Pediflow is secured to the patient using the headgear.

2.2.Headgear, mask
The headgear is made of PET. The upper side has a hook and loop fastener for attaching the Pediflow and the mask. The straps
on the side are used for securing and they stabilize the mask position as well as the Pediflow. These can be placed with their
hook and loop fastener as desired on the straps of the headgear.
The mask is made of 100% silicone. There is additionally an attachment with loops for the straps of the headgear.
