The right support at the right time—adapting breath-by-breath

VPAP Adapt SV™ is an adaptive servo-ventilator designed specifically to treat central sleep apnea (CSA) in all its forms, including complex and mixed sleep apnea.

Unlike conventional sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) therapies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), adaptive servo-ventilation:

  • treats complex sleep apnea syndrome and central sleep apnea
  • normalizes breathing, completely suppressing CSA and/or Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) 2,3
  • improves sleep architecture2 (the amount of time the patient spends in slow-wave and REM sleep increases).

Peer-reviewed literature shows that adaptive servo-ventilation:

  • enhances quality of life for patients with CSA3,4.

Support when it’s needed

The adaptive servo-ventilation algorithm:

  • adapts to the patient’s ventilatory needs on a breath-by-breath basis
  • automatically calculates a target ventilation (90% of the patient’s recent average ventilation)
  • adjusts the pressure support to achieve it.

Maximizing patient comfort and compliance

  • ensures pressure support is synchronized to the patient’s own recent breathing rate and flow pattern
  • provides a constant, low level of pressure support.

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP Auto with BiFlex

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP Auto with BiFlex

Respironics’ BiPAP® Auto with Bi-Flex® is the first auto-adjusting bi-level positive airway pressure system for adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Designed with the most challenging patients in mind, BiPAP Auto is the only sleep system that offers patented Bi-Flex and Digital Auto-Trak™ technologies, along with auto titration, Respironics Encore® Pro SmartCard® compatibility and advanced data reporting. BiPAP Auto is quite possibly the best way to improve sleep therapy Acceptance, Comfort and Results for your most challenging patients.

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP AVAPS

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP AVAPS

BiPAP AVAPS is Respironics’ newest noninvasive ventilator for home use, and features AVAPS (Average Volume Assured Pressure Support) technology. The AVAPS algorithm guarantees an average tidal volume by automatically adapting pressure support to meet the patient’s needs on a breath-by-breath basis. AVAPS achieves this by estimating the patient’s tidal volume over several breaths and calculating the change in pressure needed to achieve the target tidal volume.

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP PRO S/T

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP PRO S/T

BiPAP® S/T System with Encore® Pro Smart Card® is the newest addition to Respironics home noninvasive ventilator fleet. The compact and lightweight unit is simple to operate offering a straightforward user interface and an integrated heated humidifier for easier set-up and management. The unit also is the first noninvasive device to combine Respironics’proven BiPAP® technology with Smart Card® for use with Encore® Pro and is rich with features such as Digital Auto-Trak™ Sensitivity, adjustable Rise Time, and integrated alarms.

RESPIRONICS – BiPAP Flow Generators – BiPAP Pro with BiFlex

The BiPAP Pro with Bi-Flex bi-level system makes breathing easier and more natural for adult patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) who are having difficulty complying with continuous positive airway pressure therapy. Bi-Flex technology “softens” the airflow in inhalation and exhalation to settings of 1, 2 or 3 to provide increased pressure relief, making breathing more comfortable for the patient. In the BiPAP mode, the Comfort Control feature establishes the time that the BiPAP Pro takes to change from EPAP to IPAP.

Digital Auto-Trak™ Sensitivity automatically triggers the device to cycle between inspiratory and expiratory pressures based on the patient’s breathing rhythm. Auto-Trak also compensates for any leaks that may occur. The Encore® SmartCard® stores information on system use, therapy and quality of life. The SmartCard can be programmed with the patient’s prescription settings so they are automatically transferred to the device when the card is inserted. Also includes Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) so patients can periodically complete the questionnaire, and the data ” recorded on the SmartCard ” can be used to assess compliance.
