Invent Respiratory

What Invent Respiratory does

Invent Respiratory (legal entity Invent Medical Corporation) is a Carlsbad, California-based medical device company founded in 2014 that designs, manufactures, and markets heated high-flow (HHF) respiratory therapy systems for hospital and acute-care settings. Its flagship product, the HFT150 Heated High-Flow System, is an all-in-one device that integrates an air/oxygen blender, active humidity and temperature control (31–37°C), flow delivery of 2–60 LPM, FiO2 control of 21–100%, a built-in 30-minute battery, nurse-call alarm, and optional SpO2 monitoring into a single unit, eliminating the assembly of multiple components. The system uses proprietary Servo Auto Flow (SAF) technology to deliver precise set flow regardless of leaks or back pressure, and is paired with the patent-pending HFC-GOLD high-flow nasal cannula plus supporting consumables (heated patient circuits, humidifier tubs, 22mm adapters) and accessories (transport cart, Nonin Xpod pulse oximeter integration).

The company protects its platform through a substantial patent portfolio — six granted US patents and granted patents across Australia, Brazil, China, Europe, Japan, and Korea — alongside multiple pending applications and registered trademarks (HFT 150, HFC GOLD, inVue, ICRP, CPAP Gold, Invent Respiratory Technologies). Revenue is generated through enterprise hardware sales and recurring consumables/accessories, sold via direct enterprise field sales and, as of December 2025, an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Solutions in Critical Care (SCC) covering all 50 states. Customers are hospital systems and acute care facilities serving spontaneously breathing adult and pediatric patients requiring respiratory support, with clinicians and respiratory therapists as the primary end users. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts and is not publicly disclosed.

Financially, Invent Respiratory is privately held, operates with 1–10 employees, and has disclosed only one small funding round of approximately $258,140 in December 2021. No revenue, ownership structure, or FDA/CE certification status is publicly disclosed, though the company identifies itself as a registered medical device manufacturer. Leadership is drawn from senior roles at major respiratory OEMs (ResMed, Invacare, Respironics, Puritan-Bennett, Philips, Vyaire), and the medical advisory board includes nationally recognized pulmonologists.

Broad incumbents

• ResMed: Large incumbent in respiratory and sleep medicine (Lumis ventilation series, hospital NIV, and acute-care oxygen interfaces). Several Invent Respiratory executives came from ResMed, and ResMed's hospital ventilation/NIV portfolio overlaps functionally with the HFT150's position.
• Drägerwerk: Global medical and safety technology company whose Dräger medical division supplies ventilators, anesthesia workstations, and neonatal/pediatric respiratory care devices to hospitals — comparable buyer base and broader portfolio that includes high-flow oxygen therapy adjacent to the HFT150.
• Hamilton Medical: Swiss manufacturer of ICU and transport ventilators plus high-flow oxygen therapy devices sold to acute care hospitals. Targets the same respiratory therapist and ICU buyer as Invent Respiratory across the broader respiratory support stack.
• Teleflex Incorporated: Diversified medical device manufacturer with a significant respiratory portfolio (Hudson RCI, LifeShield) supplying oxygen and aerosol therapy interfaces, circuits, and humidification consumables to hospitals — directly comparable consumables business and shared hospital customers.

Direct peers

• Intersurgical: European-headquartered manufacturer of respiratory care products including high-flow nasal cannulas, breathing circuits, and patient interfaces for hospital use. Overlaps directly with Invent Respiratory's HFC-GOLD cannula and heated circuit consumables business.
• Vyaire Medical: Specialty respiratory care company offering ventilation, high-flow oxygen therapy, and consumables used in acute care settings. Competes head-to-head with Invent Respiratory in hospital HFNC and shares similar buyer personas (respiratory therapists and ICU clinicians).
• Fisher & Paykel Healthcare: Global leader in heated humidified high-flow therapy (Airvo, AirSpiral, Optiflow) used in hospitals for spontaneously breathing patients — the closest direct competitor to Invent Respiratory's HFT150, with substantially larger installed base and clinical evidence.

Emerging players

• BMC Medical: China-based respiratory and sleep device maker with growing presence in HFNC and hospital oxygen therapy. Competes in the same heated high-flow category as the HFT150 from a lower-cost manufacturing base, increasingly visible in emerging markets.
• Micomme Medical: China-based developer and manufacturer of heated high-flow respiratory therapy systems and non-invasive ventilation devices — directly comparable technology platform to the HFT150 with active international distribution.

Others

• Medline Industries: Large medical supply manufacturer and distributor with a respiratory product line including oxygen delivery, humidification, and aerosol therapy sold to U.S. hospitals — comparable hospital channel and complementary consumables portfolio to Invent Respiratory.
