Fisher & Paykel Sleep Apnoea

Case Study

Icon Revolutionises Sleep Apnoea Device

The culmination of over two years intensive research and development, the ICON™ is a revolution in CPAP machine design. Talbot Technologies was given the challenge of creating a fresh and innovative new exterior and fascia for ICON.


Looking no more obtrusive in the bedroom than a clock-radio, its shape allows for a fully internal humidifier - keeping noise down and improving efficiency - and makes it something that fits comfortably on the bedside table.

As well as being a potentially life saving device, ICON™ incorporates handy features including a built in alarm clock and MP3 player. Talbot used state of the art in mould labelling and co-injection technology to help create a medical device that continues to break global sales records.
