NeoPAP is a sophisticated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) delivery system for treating newborns and infants with respiratory distress syndrome. The low-profile interface and bonnet design reduce the need for adjustments and allow a looser fit, thus helping to minimise pressure on the baby’s face. The leak compensation technology known as Baby-Trak allows the device to measure pressure at the infant’s nose and regulate the target CPAP level.
Statement by the Jury
The flush appearance of the monitoring display and its integration into a frame with rounded contours serves to underline the gentle character of NeoPap.
