S9 VPAP™ST - Protecting every breath

VPAP ST by ResMed guarantees definitely quiet VPAP therapy comfort and greater overall compliance. This is a bilevel therapy device that is highly recommended for patients with complex therapeutic needs, and even for first time patients who are generally more sensitive when it comes to compliance in the beginning of their therapy.

The S9 VPAP ST devices feature intelligent iVAPS or Assured Therapy Support- the guarantee of delivering efficient therapy on a breath by breath basis. According to results from a recent study in the field, patients generally noncompliant with noninvasive ventilation were able to tolerate VPAP therapy with iVAPS for 60 minutes longer than by using the traditional pressure support modules. Clinicians know how challenging it can be to initiate patients on noninvasive ventilation therapy. However, the S9 VPAP ST with iVAPS helps patients accept and adhere to therapy much better.

iVAPS is an automatic volume assurance algorithm which has been developed to offer the best compliance for patients who experience frequently changing hypoventilation episodes during therapy. Since these patients found comfortable the use of the iVAPS algorithm, they are most likely to use for much longer periods of time the NIV system, and adhere to therapy much easier compared to when using traditional Pressure Support.

iVAPS forte points:

• The need for setting high overall pressures is eliminated completely. These high pressures are most likely needed only at certain points throughout therapy, and iVAPS can identify successfully when does the patient need higher pressures, and when does he need lower pressures for efficient therapy
• iVAPS will adjust automatically the levels of pressure support. The device will provide higher pressures when the patient needs it during therapy, and providing lower pressures for the rest of the therapy
• iVAPS is a special algorithm fully capable of controlling nocturnal hypoventilation episodes and adjusting to the changing therapeutic needs of each patient

How is S9 VPAP ST different from the rest of Bi-Level therapy devices?

• Wide pressure range delivery- 0 to 30 cmH2O so that a much wider range of NIV patients can be assisted successfully through Bi-Level therapy
• The S9 VPAP ST can also be used by pediatric patients- children weighing 13kg+ / 30lb+ can now benefit of Bi-Level therapy with the intelligent iVAPS system
• Plenty of visual and audio alarms available
