Think Again!

The ULSPIRA Solution™ benefits RTs and patients alike

This iNO therapy device offers more convenience, safety and supply

Replacing cartridges too often for iNO therapy?

Think Again — The tank-based ULSPIRA TS system offers a much longer NO supply, especially for high‑flow therapies.

Checking, monitoring and changing NO cartridges?

Think Again — The ULSPIRA TS has a gas calculator that can estimate how long a cylinder will last on each patient’s therapy.

Worrying about interruptions during iNO therapy?

Think Again — The ULSPIRA TS allows a continuous NO supply via the pneumatic backup or emergency dosing.

Scrambling to find all your system’s pieces and parts?

Think Again — With the ULSPIRA TS, all patient circuitry comes in a complete kit for each therapy type.

Waiting while your cartridge heats up to start therapy?

Think Again — Start iNO therapy fast when seconds count with the ULSPIRA TS – no heating needed.

Risking contamination with reusable consumables?

Think Again — Our convenient, single-use patient kits simplify care and help prevent infections.

Stressing about potential for NO2 boluses?

Think Again — The ULSPIRA TS performs an automatic purge when starting therapy and after replacing each NO tank.

Now there’s a total solution for iNO therapy in the NICU

ULSPIRA Indication and Important Safety Information

ULSPIRA (nitric oxide) gas, for inhalation, is a vasodilator indicated to improve oxygenation and reduce the need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with ventilatory support and other appropriate agents.

Contraindications

ULSPIRA is contraindicated in neonates dependent on right-to-left shunting of blood.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Rebound: Abrupt discontinuation of ULSPIRA may lead to worsening oxygenation and increasing pulmonary artery pressure.
  • Methemoglogin: Methemoglobin increases with the dose of ULSPIRA and is dose dependent. Following discontinuation or reduction of nitric oxide, methemoglobin levels can take up to 8 hours or more to return to baseline. If methemoglobin levels do not resolve with decrease in dose or discontinuation of ULSPIRA, additional therapy may be warranted to treat methemoglobinemia.
  • Elevated Levels: Monitor for PaO2, inspired nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and methemoglobin during ULSPIRA administration.
  • Heart Failure: In patients with pre-existing left ventricular dysfunction, ULSPIRA may increase pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, leading to pulmonary edema.
  • Nitrogen dioxide may cause airway inflammation and damage to lung tissues.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reaction of ULSPIRA is hypotension.

Drug Interactions

Nitric Oxide donor compounds may increase the risk of developing methemoglobinemia.

Use With Delivery System

ULSPIRA must be administered using a calibrated FDA-cleared Nitric Oxide Delivery System operated by trained personnel. Only validated ventilator systems should be used in conjunction with ULSPIRA.

Adverse Events

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Please see full ULSPIRA prescribing information for additional ULSPIRA safety and risk information.

ULSPIRA TS Safety Statement

Intended Use

The ULSPIRA TS Nitric Oxide Therapy System is intended for use by healthcare professionals for the delivery of nitric oxide (NO) and the monitoring of inspired NO, NO2 and O2 concentrations for a patient undergoing inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) therapy.

ULSPIRA TS must only be used in accordance with the indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions described in the nitric oxide drug packaging inserts and labeling, and is indicated for use in term and near-term (>34 weeks gestation) neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure associated with clinical or echocardiographic evidence of pulmonary hypertension. The primary targeted clinical setting is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and secondary targeted clinical setting is the transport of neonates. Refer to this material prior to use.

In the case of an abrupt stop of inhaled NO gas delivery, withdrawal (rebound pulmonary hypertension) may occur. Possible side-effects of the inhaled NO gas therapy are further described in the nitric oxide drug packaging inserts and labeling.

ULSPIRA TS can be used with respiratory devices. Make sure that ULSPIRA TS is validated with the respiratory device you use. Validated respiratory devices are listed in the User's Manual.

Device Warnings:

  • Persons using ULSPIRA TS must be trained and experienced in its use to ensure effective administration of nitric oxide and to avoid injury to the patient or to others resulting from inhalation of excess NO, NO2 or other reaction products.
  • Always perform a Pre-Use Check before connecting ULSPIRA TS to the patient. Only use the system if the Pre-Use Check is successfully passed.
  • If an unintended treatment interruption occurs, use the backup system.
  • ULSPIRA TS must not be used in an MRI environment.
