Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity
Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity is a complex algorithm which carefully monitors and gathers an accurate picture of your individual breathing cycle. By adapting to the user disease progression, digital auto-trak adapts to breath triggering and cycling helping to eliminate any need for manual adjustment. Too complicated?
