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.

Now with 30% more humidity, ResMed's latest technology ensures the H4i heated humidifier delivers the most humidity output of an integrated device. The H4i clicks easily into place and supports ResMed's full S8 platform---from entry-level CPAP to premium VPAP bilevels. The compact design is unobtrusive in the bedroom and easily packed for travel.

It is designed to offer relief from the symptoms of dryness and congestion associated with CPAP therapy without compromising therapy effectiveness or ease of use. The flip-top lid design eliminates the need to remove the tube for refilling. The seamlessly integrated unit simply snaps into place whenever required and is powered by ResMed's S8 devices--no additional power cords or cables required. The easy-to-use dial control and power-on light plus heating indicator are other user-friendly features of the H4i.

Up to 40% of nasal CPAP users experience nasal congestion and dryness of the nose and throat. Research proves that the warm, moist air that humidification provides can relieve symptoms of dryness and make therapy more comfortable. In fact, compliance gains may be realized sooner if patients start with heated humidity at CPAP initiation.

Studies show that ResMed's HumidAire 3i and H4i humidifiers outperform competitive products, making ResMed's devices more effective not only with humidification, but al;so further enhancing therapy comfort and compliance

The H4i is specifically designed to produce greater humidification outputs to support the higher pressure delivered during bilevel therapy. However, bot the H4i and H3i are more than adequate for CPAP and APAP.

 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.
