F&P Brevida™ Mask Takes Out Internationally Recognised iF Design and Red Dot Design Awards
F&P Brevida™ Mask Takes Out Internationally Recognised iF Design and Red Dot Design Awards April 2017, Auckland, New Zealand Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s F&P Brevida mask, used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), was an award winner in two prestigious product design competitions – the iF Design Awards and the Red Dot Design Awards. The iF Design Awards, run annually since 1953 by iF International Forum Design GmbH, is considered one of the most respected competitions recognising outstanding design from around the world. This year’s award had a panel of 58 judges assessing over 5,500 entries from a total of 59 countries. Designs were evaluated against a criteria of brand identity, usability/ergonomics and aesthetic/design quality. This is the third time Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has been acknowledged at the iF Design Awards, after winning awards for the F&P Pilairo™ mask and F&P Optiflow™ Junior nasal cannula in 2012. The Red Dot Awards is one of the most competitive design competitions in the world, known internationally for recognising great design and innovation. This year, the Product Design category, in which the F&P Brevida was recognised, received submissions from 54 countries. The Red Dot Design Award was founded in Germany in 1955 and is led by a globally recognised forum for design excellence. This year, it was judged by an independent and international panel of 39 members, who assessed, tested and discussed each entry over a period of several days. Products were evaluated according to criteria across innovation, formal quality, functionality and ecological compatibility. Read more about the Brevida iF Design Award 2017 and the Red Dot Award...

Philips Respironics Dreamwear Mask Review
PROS: Unique design. Alternative to nasal pillows. Durable. CONS: Prone to leakage in certain positions. Dual vents may create noise. May be difficult to clean and dry.

Recently, Philips Respironics has been prepping us for the release of their “Dream” line-up. Although I might not be authorized to announce the upcoming release of their new Dreamstation CPAP/ BiPAP line-up because Philips want to keep it “hush-hush”, they have however, released the Dreamwear mask for all of us to start dreaming about what’s to come. Over the past few years, Philips Respironics has struggled to develop a mask that competes with the Resmed and Fisher& Paykel line of mask offerings, so this time instead of trying to imitate the designs from their competitors, they finally tried to completely change the design with the Dreamwear nasal mask. For those who have not seen it in person, you might be deceived by the pictures that have been published online. Is it a nasal mask or a nasal pillow mask one might ask? Well let’s just say it’s a hybrid of both designs. Don’t be mistaken by the hybrid designs of the full face mask like the Liberty Mask from ResMed; this one is completely different. A number of years ago, Respironics released two masks similar to this called the comfort Curve and the Optilife but they didn’t really gain much traction in the industry and to be honest were short-lived. Let’s just start by saying, that the Dreamwear is...
