[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 1725R Inspiration Healthcare Group PLC 07 March 2016 \n\n7 March 2016\n \nInspiration Healthcare Group plc\n(\"Inspiration Healthcare\", the \"Company\" or the \"Group\")\n \nCE mark granted for first \nInspiration Healthcare developed disposable medical device\n \n \nInspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global medical device company, is delighted to announce that the Inspire rPAP, a neonatal resuscitation device that it has developed in conjunction with doctors in Sweden has been granted a CE mark*.\nThe device was invented by Anaesthetists Drs Kjell Nilsson and Thomas Drevhammar in Ostersund Sweden in collaboration with the Neonatal team at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm. The device utilises the proven technology reducing the work of breathing imposed on a baby from traditional methods of ventilation. The Inspire rPAP delivers variable flow and pressure to a baby during resuscitation and when this is not needed, delivers nasal continuous positive airway pressure. \nAn initial usability trial in Sweden has given confidence in the product and the Company now intends an initial launch in the UK and Europe and will file for US registration to be able to market the product globally. \nCommenting today, Neil Campbell Inspiration Healthcare's Chief Executive Officer said: \"This is the first product we have developed from start to finish as a disposable medical device which has been given a CE mark. It fits perfectly with our \"LifeStart\" neonatal resuscitation unit and will help the sickest and most fragile babies from the moment they are born. We believe we can improve outcomes for babies by the products we are developing.\"\n* CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).\nFurther information on Inspiration Healthcare can be seen at www.inspiration-healthcare.com\nEnquiries:\n \n\n\n\n\nInspiration Healthcare Group plc\nNeil Campbell, Chief Executive Officer\nIan Smith, Group Finance Director\n\n\n01709 761000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWH Ireland Limited\n(Nominated Adviser and Broker)\nTim Feather\nLiam Gribben\n\n\n0113 394 6600\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCadogan PR\nAlex Walters\n\n\n07771 713608\n\n\n\n\n \nAbout Inspiration Healthcare\nInspiration Healthcare (AIM: IHC) is a ...
