Clarivent Bubble Helmet Verification

Many methods for providing respiratory support to patients are currently in use, however more commonly available techniques such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) are not appropriate for ventilation of patients with airborne infectious diseases due to the risk of aerosolization endangering other patients and hospital staff. Clarivent has develop a sealed device to provide non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) to patients and allow for the provision of respiratory therapy with widely available methods such as CPAP, while minimizing the risk of infection for other patients and staff. This project will focus on verification and validation of this device.
