Breathe ventilator nets FDA clearance for home use

Breathe Technologies has received FDA clearance for use of its BT-V2S ventilator in the home setting. The portable device provides ventilation assistance to aid select adult patients who suffer from respiratory insufficiency.

The FDA clearance comes as Breathe Technologies, a San Ramon, Calif., manufacturer of technology for people with respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), prepares for market launch. The company will transfer its operations this year to a new facility in Southern California, where a number of major respiratory and sleep apnea device manufacturers are based. Breathe Technologies was founded in January 2005.
