FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE ANNOUNCES NEW NASAL PILLOWS MASK AT INVESTOR DAY
Auckland, New Zealand, 23 September 2013 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare
Corporation Limited (NZSX:FPH, ASX:FPH) announced at its investor day in
Sydney today the introduction of the F&P Pilairo Q nasal pillows mask for the
treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The Pilairo Q has been designed with a focus on quietness and versatility and
retains the unique advantages customers have come to appreciate with the
Pilairo. These include the effective seal as a result of the unique
air-pillow which self inflates with CPAP flow and the one-size-fits-most,
adjustment-free, Stretchwise headgear.
In addition, the Pilairo Q offers ultra-quiet use and minimal draft to
eliminate any partner disturbance. Users also now have a choice of headgear,
with the addition of an alternative, adjustable version that fits a wider
range of patients.
"Pilairo has been very well received by customers and Pilairo Q builds on
that success to provide additional options and benefits that enhance overall
therapy performance including quieter use, less draft and a greater range of
fit" commented Michael Daniell, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare's Chief Executive
Officer.
The Pilairo Q nasal pillows mask will be introduced to Australia, Canada and
the United States in the coming weeks. "Pilairo Q further strengthens our
premium mask offering, which includes the recently launched Eson nasal mask,
and Simplus full face mask, both of which have performed exceptionally well
for our customers", concluded Mr Daniell.
A copy of the presentation to be given to analysts and investors at the
technical briefing session in Sydney today is attached to this announcement.
