Respironics BiPAP AUTO M Series with Bi-Flex
The most compliant, natural sleep therapy device.
The BiPAP Auto M by Respironics is the only BiPAP therapy device which combines smartly breath-by-breath Bi-Flex technology with the auto adjusting pressure delivery. Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, lung cancer, and many other breathing insufficiencies requiring Bi-Level therapy can now enjoy the most natural sleep therapy with this device.
The most important advantage of the Bi-Flex technology is that the device makes the airflow much softer at the inhalation and exhalation processes, thus helping patients breathe more comfortably and naturally.
When the device is in Bi-Flex mode, it provides respiratory relief in allthe important stages:
- EPAP (Expiratory Airway Pressure) to IPAP (Inspiratory
Airway Pressure)
- IPAP to IPAP
- During the exhalation process
The BiPAP M Auto series from Philips
Respironics has been developed as the best alternative for noncompliant CPAP
patients. Many patients using CPAP therapy, especially those that have specific
respiratory needs complain they find it extremely difficult to produce an exhale
against a high pressure coming from the machine.
In CPAP therapy both the inhale and exhale pressure are at the same level-
Continuous Flow pressure. The BiPAP therapy allows for a different pressure
adjustment for inhaling (a higher pressure) and a different one for the exhale
process (a lower pressure).
The M series Bi-level therapy machines by Respironics are extremely small
and sleek in design, allowing for even more confortable use.
- The special algorithm of the BiPAP Auto M
series will analyze all the important parameters in order to offer the best
response to the patient’s breathing rate. The device adapts exactly to the
breathing needs of each patient
- M series BiPAP Auto devices are designed to fit
the sleep therapy needs of a full range of patients
- BiPAP Auto offers the perfect leak compensation
BiPAP Auto M Series therapy algorithm is
able to provide more appropriate pressures which are compliant with the variable
breathing rates of the patient.
BiFlex Technology
- The airflow is softened for both inhalation and
exhalation to offer the most compliant pressure relief
- Patients breathe more comfortably- no breathing
against sudden/high pressure bursts of pressure
- Each breath of the patient is monitored smartly
thanks to Auto-Trak technology
- Bi-Flex technology allows the device to cycle
perfectly between the inhale and exhale levels of the patient to deliver
pressure that is custom tailored to the patient’s breathing rate
BiPAP Auto M & Smart Ramp Technology
The M Series from Philips Respironivs features smart inbuilt ramp technology
which allows patients to enjoy more comfort of ramp without risks that would
compromise the therapy in any way.
The Smart Ramp feature helps greatly compliance with the BiPAP treatment.
The ramp basically delivers a lower pressure than what is prescribed at the
beginning of the treatment, helping the patient to fall comfortably asleep. When
the ramp feature is on, the pressure will increase gradually to the prescribed
pressure in approximately 30 minutes.
Bi-Pap Auto M Series- Maximum Therapeutic Effectiveness at Minimum Pressures
Pcrit Test- the IPAP will be gradually decreased, the flow is constantly
monitored for indications of flow limitation. With this test it is ensured that
the most efficient therapy can be kept at minimal pressure delivery.
Popt Test- the IPAP is gradually increased, while monitoring the flow signal for
improvements in the airway of the patient. With this test it is ensured that the
device delivers the optimum therapeutic levels.
