Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited announced the launch of the F&P Solo mask in New Zealand and Australia for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). F&P Solo is a first AutoFit nasal and pillows mask which simplifies the setup process, enabling users to stretch the mask onto the face and adjust it into place with one touch. Without conventional straps to undo and pull, the mask reduces overtightening on the face.

AutoLock technology holds the mask in place with minimal force and dynamically responds to sleep movement and CPAP-therapy pressure. Sales of F&P Solo have commenced in New Zealand and will begin in Australia at the end of October 2023. Launches into Europe, Canada and the United States are set to follow in the coming months.

Nasal and pillows cushions can be bought individually, allowing users to interchange. The headgear is one size, with four different nasal cushion sizes (small, medium, large and wide) and three different pillows cushion sizes (small, medium and large). The mask is supported by positive clinical trial results: 95% of users can set themselves up without assistance; and 93% of patients rated their experience with the F&P Solo mask as simple or very simple.
