EXETER, N.H., March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vapotherm, Inc., (OTCQX: VAPO), ("Vapotherm" or the "Company") today announced the debut of its Access365 Home Ventilation Solution at the upcoming MEDTRADE conference.

Dr. Jessica Whittle, Chief Medical Officer of Vapotherm, emphasized the company's commitment to improving the lives of hypercapnic patients in the home. "Our mission is to improve quality of life and reduce hospital readmissions for patients who struggle with respiratory disease. Access365 will provide optimal treatment at home, especially for COPD patients, by combining the known benefits of nocturnal NIV with the comfort of high velocity therapy for daytime use."(1)

The highly anticipated Access365 home ventilator will be unveiled at MEDTRADE Dallas on March 27th. The device is designed to reduce hospital readmissions, improve patient quality of life, and reduce HME costs for late-stage hypercapnic COPD patients. In addition to VAPS and volume control/assist ventilation modes and Vapotherm's proven high velocity therapy, the ventilator incorporates a built-in medical grade humidifier and integrated Bluetooth pulse oximetry and spirometry.

The Access365 Home Ventilation Solution also includes cloud connectivity to enable remote data retrieval and system upgrades and a patient engagement platform which breaks the cycle of symptom exacerbation and readmission through early identification of worsening symptoms allowing more rapid clinical intervention. This proprietary algorithm resulted in up to a 41% reduction in late-stage COPD hospital readmissions.(2) Vapotherm anticipates receiving FDA clearance for Access365 in early 2025.

Joe Army, President and CEO of Vapotherm, underscored the significance of the solution, stating, "Vapotherm is committed to supporting patients both in and out of the hospital. The recently announced discontinuation of Philips Respironics home ventilators in the U.S. highlights a potential concern for patients and HMEs alike but also a unique opportunity for Vapotherm. We are excited to be able to provide newer and more comprehensive options for these patients and the HMEs that support them."(3)
