rPAP Neonatal Resuscitation Driver Unit Granted CE mark 

Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global supplier of medical technology for critical care, operating theatre and other medical applications, is delighted to announce that the rPAP Driver unit which is an integral part of the Inspire rPAP neonatal resuscitation system has been granted a CE mark* and can now be sold throughout the EU and certain other territories around the world.

The unit, which regulates gas flow entering into a resuscitation device, has been entirely designed by Inspiration Healthcare and complements the first of its own designed medical devices sold by the company, the rPAP Generator. The rPAP Driver and rPAP Generator combine to form the Inspire rPAP system.

The Drivers are re-usable which presents significant cost benefits to users without stretching limited capital equipment budgets. They are compact, lightweight and portable and when coupled with the rPAP Generator, the system reduces the effort needed to breathe during the first few minutes of life of a baby that needs resuscitation due to difficulties at the time of birth. The system is being used by a number of hospitals in Scandinavia as part of a multicentre clinical trial.

Commenting today, Neil Campbell Inspiration Healthcare's Chief Executive Officer said: "We are delighted to get this approval which means we can begin to distribute the products to the many customers who have already indicated their interest.

The Inspire rPAP combines many innovative features into one portable, easy to use system and is designed to work with our "LifeStart" neonatal resuscitation platform which is to be used in a wide range of innovative clinical procedures being adopted in neonatal units such as optimal cord clamping."

* CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).
