SchmietPlus partnered with Fikst to design Vapotherm’s next-generation HVT 2.0 system.

Designed for use in hospitals and sub-acute facilities, the HVT 2.0 provides comfortable and effective therapy by delivering warmed and humidified high-flow respiratory gases.

Driven by the need to limit weight and size, the team explored various component architectures and studied resulting proportions and design opportunities through 3D models.

Ease-of-use and safety were the key factors in the industrial design of the cartridge and it’s latching mechanism.

User testing with patients and care givers of three different concepts and detail solutions provided valuable feedback that informed our the final design.
