Limerick, Pa.-based Teleflex received FDA 510(k) clearance for its ISO-Gard Mask with CleanAir Technology, designed to reduce harmful anesthetic gases clinicians are exposed to.
Patients recovering from surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit exhale gases and nurses, upon ingesting the byproduct, can experience side effects including nausea, dizziness, headaches and fatigue, according to the report.
Teleflex's CleanAir technology forces a unidirectional flow of oxygen through the mask to reduce waste gas leakage and improve patient delivery.
