ResMed New VPAP Bilevels User Manual

New VPAP™ Bilevels from ResMed

More of everything ... except size

Silent. Synchronized.

ResMed’s VPAP technologies provide the optimum in bilevel
therapy in a smaller, quieter package. The virtually noiseless
motor is up to 90% quieter than competitive products,
minimizing ambient sound and helping to provide an ideal sleep
environment. Complete synchronization to the patient’s breath
rate, including a backup rate in the ST, assures that every
breathing need is monitored and successfully accommodated.
The units are contained within a compact package—
the smallest, most convenient and travel-friendly in the market.
No other bilevel systems deliver therapy as quiet, comfortable
and convenient as the new ResMed VPAP devices.

ResMed’s VPAP Bilevels Deliver Superior
Therapy for a Variety of Patient Needs

Patients are individuals with different conditions and different therapy needs. Some require additional comfort

measures to keep them compliant. Some have unique lung and chest-wall conditions creating breath synchronization

challenges that require ventilatory assistance. The new VPAP

bilevel therapy—noise-free operation combined with maximum clinical control—to help you meet the unique needs

of every patient.

The quiet and comfort of Easy-Breathe

Easy-Breathe technology improves comfort and reduces noise with advanced software and a sophisticated motor.

™

products offer the ultimate in silent, synchronized

Minimum size, maximum performance

These advanced bilevel ventilating systems are con­tained within the smallest, most convenient package in
the market—a masterpiece of function and design. The
unit weighs less than three pounds and comes with a
sleek travel bag for easy transportation. Patients, bed
partners and caregivers appreciate the easy integration of
ResMed’s VPAP systems into the care-giving environment.

Near-silent operation

ResMed’s patented Easy-Breathe
motor reduces noise to 26 dB
and is available across all VPAP
devices. Up to 90% quieter than
the leading competitor, it allows
patients and bed partners to
sleep peacefully throughout the
night and easily adjust to therapy.

More natural breathing pattern

Featured in the VPAP Auto 25 and VPAP ST, ResMed’s
Easy-Breathe responds to patient breathing patterns with
heightened sensitivity. The smooth Easy-Breathe wave­form is more natural and comfortable than the traditional
square bilevel waveform. Easy-Breathe fi lls the lungs
gradually, leaving patients relaxed. Originally introduced
in the VPAP Adapt SV,
ideally suited for noncompliant CPAP patients as well.

TiControl™ for maximum control and
customized therapy

TiControl™ provides minimum and maximum inspiratory
time limits. These frame a “window of opportunity”
to accommodate individual respiratory conditions. For
example, TiControl is clinician-adjustable to customize
therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
patients and can prolong Ti Min for patients with restrictive
disorders.

Vsync™ for reliable pressure delivery

Unique to the VPAP series, Vsync™ manages leaks
automatically, minimizing any loss of pressure due to leak
while still ensuring reliable breath detection.

Backup rate, S/T and T Modes (VPAP ST only)

For the treatment of neuromuscular and restrictive tho­racic diseases, VPAP ST provides a programmable backup
rate in S/T and T modes. Now even your noninvasive
ventilation patients can benefi t from Easy-Breathe quiet
performance and a sleek, travel-friendly package.

Gold standard AutoSet™ technology

VAuto technology, which is based on ResMed’s gold standard AutoSet™ algorithm, is
available in the VPAP Auto 25 and VPAP ST devices. With VAuto technology, the VPAP
series is a truly versatile platform designed to meet the unique needs of noncompliant
CPAP users, OSA patients and those who require additional pressure support.

Ensures the lowest pressure necessary

VAuto always ensures the lowest pressure necessary
to treat apneic events, resulting in the most comfortable
therapy for patients so they remain compliant with their
treatment.

Responds on breath-by-breath basis

Unlike competitive technologies, VAuto responds pre­emptively to inspiratory fl ow limitation and adjusts to the
patient’s pressure needs on a breath-by-breath basis to
prevent most apneic and snoring events.

Easy setup

VAuto’s carefully selected default settings and clinically
proven AutoSet algorithm simplify the setup process and
consistently deliver superior therapy.

Easy compliance tracking with

™

ResScan

Compatible with all ResMed devices, the ResScan™ Data
Card provides easy access to and automatic backup of
patient data (compliance, usage, statistical summaries,
nightly views), while allowing clinicians to change therapy
settings remotely.
