Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare designs and manufactures respiratory care devices and consumables from its head office at 15 Maurice Paykel Place, East Tamaki, Auckland, New Zealand. The company traces its product line to 1969, when its first prototype respiratory humidifier was developed, and now supplies acute and chronic respiratory care, surgery and obstructive sleep apnoea treatment.

Home and sleep products include PAP therapy masks such as F&P Nova Nasal and F&P Nova Micro. Customers are hospitals, respiratory and intensive care departments, sleep clinics and homecare providers, served through regional operations covering markets in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.
