PARTNERSHIP FOR:
BETTER PATIENT CARE
With over 60 years combined experience in respiratory care, Movair and Lowenstein Medical have partnered to deliver high-quality ventilation to the United States. The LUISA non-invasive/invasive ventilator with High Flow Therapy is a 3rd generation life supporting ventilator that represents the highest standards in German and U.S. product development, engineering, and manufacturing.
HIGH FLOW OXYGEN THERAPY
FOR YOUR VENTILATOR PATIENTS
The LUISA, with High Flow Therapy (HFT), is a home ventilator that offers all the potential benefits of HFT for patients that meet the clinical requirements for home ventilation. High Flow Therapy can deliver a high flow blend of air and oxygen, through a high-flow nasal cannula, which can improve oxygenation and decrease the workload of breathing in a wide array of patient populations. ³
High Flow Therapy has been used in critical care, emergency departments, and is now available to the ventilator patient at home.
High Flow Therapy provides a flow rate that meets or exceeds a patient’s inspiratory flow demand. This high flow rate can reduce the work of breathing and more closely match inspiratory demand through adjustable oxygen delivery and flow dependent clearance of carbon dioxide. ⁴ ⁵
HIGH FLOW THERAPY THAT'S
EASY TO USE
LUISA has the potential to help manage nocturnally ventilated patients during the day with a less obtrusive oxygen flow delivery method that can potentially lead to:
Increase in activities of daily living like eating, drinking and talking ⁵
Superior comfort and less anxiety or claustrophobia which could lead to better compliance ⁶
Enhanced oxygenation compared to conventional low-flow oxygenation ⁴
Improved work of breathing ⁵
Better secretion clearance ⁵
The LUISA provides the flexibility of High Flow Oxygen Therapy, for your patients that meet clinical requirements for home ventilation, in all circuits with a flow range of 5-60 lpm.
LUISA offers all the benefits of High Flow Therapy for your ventilator patients in one device at home.
