 - Patients who do not require non-invasive ventilatory interventions, PaO2/FiO2 > 300 (corrected for altitude) and tolerating supplemental oxygen with SpO2 saturations ≥ 92%.
 - Patients who require immediate IMV upon admission or have a RR > 30/min on early oxygen intervention.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
No Intervention
Life2000® Ventilator
Control Group
Subjects in the active treatment group will receive ventilatory support with Life2000® Ventilator following the labeled instructions for the device.
Subjects in the control group will be identified from the population of patients previously admitted to the study site with COVID-19 infection who required non-invasive oxygen therapy with HFNC but were not treated with NIV therapy. Subject data will be collected retrospectively from the medical record.
