INDICATIONS, WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Primary Indications:
The Oxygen Assist Module is an optional module used only with the Vapotherm Precision Flow and
is indicated for on-demand titration of oxygen into warm humidified breathing gases delivered to
spontaneously breathing patients based on continuous non-invasive monitoring of blood oxygen
saturation.
The Oxygen Assist Module is intended to treat pediatric (including neonatal) and adult patients in
monitored clinical environments.
Incorporation of SpO2 into the Precision Flow with the Oxygen Assist Module does not eliminate
the need for separate and independent patient monitoring indicated by the Precision Flow system
labeling.
Patients on high velocity nasal insufflation receiving supplemental oxygen are acute and appropriate clinical
vigilance should be observed by the care team. Additional patient monitoring including pulse oximetry is
necessary if the Precision Flow is used to give supplementary oxygen.
