The BiPAP Auto system offers several options in how therapy is delivered, so treatment can be personalized to meet your needs. The system delivers two different positive pressure levels: IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) and EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure).
When prescribed for you, the device provides several special features to help make your therapy more comfortable. The ramp function allows you to lower the pressure when you are trying to fall asleep. The air pressure will gradually increase until your prescription pressure is reached. You also have the option of not using the ramp feature at all.
Additionally, the Bi-Flex comfort feature provides you with pressure relief when you exhale during therapy.
The BiPAP Auto Bi-Flex device delivers the following therapies:
• Bi-level – Provides one level of output pressure during EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) and a second higher level during IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure). If your health care professional prescribed ramp for you, you can press the Ramp button to reduce the pressure and then gradually increase the pressure to the therapeutic pressure setting so that you can fall asleep more comfortably.
• Bi-level with Bi-Flex – Bi-level therapy with pressure relief upon exhalation to improve patient comfort based on patient needs.
• Auto Bi-level – Delivers spontaneous Bi-level therapy while automatically adjusting EPAP and IPAP levels to meet the patient’s needs.
• Auto Bi-level with Bi-Flex – Auto Bi-level therapy with pressure relief upon exhalation to improve patient comfort based on patient needs.
