The Fisher & Paykel 950N81 is a neonatal dual heated ventilator circuit kit designed for invasive mechanical ventilation. It is part of the F&P 950 humidification system and is used to deliver actively heated and humidified respiratory gases directly to intubated neonates.
Unlike bubble CPAP circuits, the 950N81 is configured for closed ventilator systems, supporting precise control of temperature and humidity during invasive ventilation. The inclusion of integrated accessories enables full system setup without the need for additional components, ensuring streamlined use in NICU environments.
The circuit incorporates advanced moisture management to maintain internal humidity while reducing condensate formation, supporting uninterrupted ventilation and minimizing circuit manipulation.
Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai is a trusted distributor and dealer of Fisher & Paykel in India and supplies Fisher & Paykel Healthcare products like 950N81, 950N60, RT265, RT266, OJR410-418, OPT942-946 and many other Anesthesia and Critical Care products across India.
Key Features
* Designed for Invasive Neonatal Ventilation - Specifically configured for use with mechanical ventilators in intubated patients, unlike CPAP-based systems.
* Dual Heated Limb Architecture - Provides controlled thermal conditions across inspiratory flow, supporting consistent humidification at low neonatal tidal volumes.
* Integrated Evaqua™ 2 Expiratory Technology - Expiratory limb allows moisture diffusion through the tubing wall, reducing condensate build-up and eliminating the need for water traps
* Complete Kit with Clinical Accessories - Includes essential components such as inspiratory/expiratory limbs, dryline, pressure line, adapters, and connectors—allowing full ventilator circuit assembly
* Closed-System Humidification Support - Designed to maintain a closed ventilator circuit, reducing disconnections and infection risk during therapy
* Color-Coded Limb Identification - Inspiratory and expiratory limbs are differentiated to support correct setup and reduce connection errors
