FDA Medical Mobility Accessory
Executive Product Overview
The Salter-Style® 1600HF High-Flow Adult Nasal Cannula with 7' Supply Tubing (Manufacturer MPN #1600HF-7-25, produced by Sun Med) is a clinical-grade, high-volume oxygen interface engineered specifically for patients requiring elevated oxygen flow rates up to 15 LPM without the discomfort of a full face mask. Designed to bridge the gap between low-flow cannulas and mask-based oxygenation, this cannula utilizes an enhanced reservoir facepiece and larger internal lumen geometries to deliver higher oxygen concentrations reliably.
Featuring a seamless, extra-soft reservoir facepiece anatomically contoured to fit comfortably against the upper lip, the 1600HF series minimizes facial friction and skin irritation during high-velocity gas delivery. Each unit comes pre-attached to 7 feet of clear, kink-resistant supply tubing incorporating a unique 3-channel inner lumen design that maintains continuous gas flow even if compressed or creased. Terminated with a trumpet-style connector for secure fitting onto high-flow oxygen meters, this non-sterile, single-patient use cannula is manufactured completely without natural rubber latex and packaged in a wholesale bulk case of 25 individually sealed units.
Key Technical & Operational Features
- High-Flow Capability (Up to 15 LPM): Specially calibrated internal bore dimensions support oxygen flow rates up to 15 LPM, serving elevated acute respiratory needs.
- Enhanced Reservoir Facepiece Design: Seamless, extra-soft reservoir facepiece collects enriched oxygen during exhalation to boost delivered FiO2 during inhalation.
- Anatomically Contoured Lip Fit: Ergonomically shaped upper-lip pad reduces movement friction, contact soreness, and tissue irritation under the nose.
- Trumpet-Style End Connector: Specialized trumpet fitting connects firmly to high-volume oxygen flowmeter barbs and humidification ports without popping off under pressure.
- Crush-Resistant 3-Channel Inner Lumen: Multi-channel internal safety geometry maintains continuous gas flow even if the 7-foot supply tube is tightly bent or stepped on.
- Curved Prong Geometry: Smooth, curved nasal prongs direct high-velocity oxygen into the nasal passages comfortably to reduce mucosal drying.
- 100% Latex-Free PVC Construction: Manufactured entirely without natural rubber latex to eliminate Type I allergen risks across sensitive patient populations.

Product & Compliance FAQs
Q: What regulatory oversight governs the Salter-Style 1600HF High-Flow Cannula?
A: Nasal cannulas and oxygen supply tubing are classified by the FDA as Class I exempt medical mobility accessories (HCPCS A4615). They do not require a medical prescription or healthcare license to purchase.
Q: What is the primary difference between standard low-flow cannulas and the 1600HF high-flow cannula?
A: Standard low-flow cannulas are typically limited to 1–6 LPM flow rates. The 1600HF features larger internal lumen diameters and an enhanced reservoir facepiece designed to manage oxygen flows up to 15 LPM without excessive pressure resistance or noise.
Q: Why is a trumpet connector used instead of a standard connector on high-flow cannulas?
A: Trumpet connectors feature a flared, heavy-duty elastomeric collar that creates a tight, pressure-resistant seal over high-flow flowmeter nipples, preventing the tubing from blowing off under 10–15 LPM line pressure.
