NIPPY works by blowing air into the lungs until a pre-set airway pressure is reached. This will assist your breathing at night. The NIPPY ventilator can be used for a variety of respiratory conditions and muscle disorders.

When do you use nippy?

Intended Use

The NIPPY 3+ is intended to provide ventilation for non-dependent, spontaneously breathing adult patients with respiratory insufficiency, or respiratory failure. The device may be operated in the hospital or home environment.

How does non invasive ventilation work?

NIV works by creating a positive airway pressure - the pressure outside the lungs being greater than the pressure inside of the lungs. This causes air to be forced into the lungs (down the pressure gradient), lessening the respiratory effort and reducing the work of breathing.
