ResMed's VPAP™ Auto is a compact bilevel device designed to deliver effective therapy as naturally and comfortbly as possible. VPAP Auto combines the clinically proven AutoSet™ algorithm with the supreme comfort of ResMed's Easy-Breathe™ technology to make breathing easier for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), noncompliant CPAP users, and those who require additional pressure support. Packaged in ResMed's compact and convenient S8™ design, VPAP Auto is ideal for travel or home use.

Unlike traditional bilevel, VPAP Auto's smooth pressure profile feels more natural so that breathing is more comfortble. The smooth pressure waveform featured in ResMed's VPAP Adapt SV is ideally suited for noncompliant CPAP patients as well.

In addition to the new Easy-Breath technology, VPAP Auto sychronizes with patients' breathing patterns using ResMed's trusted Vsync and TiControl technologies to deliver naturally comfortable bilevel therapy.

 Gold Standard AutoSet Technology

ResMed's gold standard AutoSet algorithm makes the VPAP Auto a truly versatile auto-adjusting bilevel designed to meet the unique needs of noncompliant CPAP users. OSA patients and those who require additional pressure support. VAuto, the VPAP Auto's algorithm, always ensures the lowest pressure necessary to treat apneic events, resulting in the most comfortable therapy for patients so that they remain compliant with their treatment. Unlike competitive technologies, VAuto responds to inspiratory flow limitation and the patient's pressure needs on a breath-by-breath basis and responds preemptively to prevent most apneic and snoring events.

The new BiPAP Auto M Series brings together a unique combination: Digital Auto-Trak, Bi-Flex and auto adjusting pressure. And, it's quite possibly the best way to improve sleep therapy Acceptance, Comfort and Results for the most challenging user.

Like the proven REMstar Auto, the BiPAP Auto with Bi-Flex features the same "multi-level" algorithm that uses two different sets of analytical parameters to keep track of a patient's breathing.

Initially, the primary analysis seeks out instances of flow limitation at inhalation by measuring the roundness, flatness, peak and shape of each breath. Based on changes in these measurements, the BiPAP Auto makes systematic, subtle changes on the patient's breathing patterns. It can also determine how much of a response is necessary to eliminates events and position the patient with a more appropriate pressure - as well as compensate for elevated leak levels and variable breathing.

A secondary set of analysis parameters determines the occurrence of breathing problems like apnea, hypopnea, snoring, variable breathing and elevated leak levels based on their effects on the patient's airflow signal. Once it detects one of these events, the secondary analysis immediately begins to ramp up the pressure to a point that eliminates or compensates for the event.

While the multi-level algorithm makes sure you are receiving effective therapy, Bi-Flex makes therapy more comfortable. Bi-Flex technology is a more natural way to deliver bi-level therapy that softens airflow delivery at the end of inhalation and beginning of exhalation. Patient-adjustable settings of "1", "2", and "3" provide progressively increased pressure relief to best meet individual needs.

This more comfortable approach to bi-level therapy has been shown to deliver a higher level of therapy success for your most difficult patients. One study* showed that 54% of non-compliant CPAP patients could adhere to their therapy when introduced to Bi-Flex. The BiPAP Auto gives you your best chances of repeating these results with you by giving you superior technology without additional to you.

 Integrated Humidification

The high flow of air during positive pressure application may cause dryness in the nasal and upper airway and Nasal Airway Resistance (NAR). This discomfort may increase in the presence of leak and may even result in non-compliance with the therapy.

VPAP III offers a convenient and effective solution - an optional, integrated humidifier -- the HumidAire 2i. Humidification helps to alleviate discomfort and relieves symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, mouth dryness, and thick nasal secretions.

The Optional HumidAire 2I module is small and portable. It is designed for easy attachment and detachment to suit therapy requirements for varying symptoms and seasons.

 OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA

OSA is the absence of airflow due to an occlusion in the upper airway that lasts at least 10 seconds in spite of continual effort to breathe. Severity is measured by the Apnea/Hypopnea Index (AHI) -- the number of episodes per hour of sleep.

 COMPLEX SLEEP APNEA

Complex sleep apnea is a condition tht occurs when a patient is identified as having OSA, but with the application of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) to eliminate the OSA, the patient develops Central Sleep Apnea. The cause of complex sleep apnea is not known at this time.

 CENTRAL SLEEP APNEA

Central Sleep Apnea is a pattern of breathing characterized by deep inspiratory cycle interchanged with complete cessation of breathing. It is typically caused by problems with how the brain controls breathing rather than an occlusion of the airway.

 PERIODIC BREATHING

Periodic breathing is defined as alternating periods of hyperventilation with waxing/waning tidal volume and periods of central hypopneas or apneas. There are many forms of periodic breathing, one of which is Cheyne-Stokes Respiration (CSR) CSR is characterized by a cyclic pattern of waxing and waning during periods of apnea, and deep rapid breathing.

  HOW THE BiPAP autoSV WORKS

The BiPAP autoSV sleep therapy system delivers optimal therapy for complicated sleep-disorderd breathing patients utilizing a multilevel algorithm. On a breath-by-breath basis, the revolutionary algorithm uses Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity to change pressure support, when necessary, to maintain a stable breathing pattern. In addition to this breath-by-breath adjustment of pressure support, the BiPAP autoSV algorithm also calculates the patient's spontaneous breathing rate and will automatically trigger a breath should the patient have an apnic event. This algorithm rapidly helps normalize respiration and return the pressure to the minimum required therapy pressure once ventilation has been normalized

In addition to the revolutionary algorithm, the BiPAP autoSV sleep therapy system also offers other proven Respironics technologies such as optional integrated heated humidification and built-in digital data storage using Respironics Encore SmartCard and Encore Pro Data Management Software.
