The Respironics System-One BiPAP Auto comes standard with carrying case, bag, heated humidifier, memory card, manuals and now packaged with
Respironics Performance Tubing.
System One Humidity Control
The Philips Respironics System One Humidifier and Water Chamber is an advancement in
preventing water damage and a safeguard against rain-out. System One
Humidity Control technology evaluates room temperature, humidity and
airflow to determine the optimum humidity setting. The humidity level
is closely monitored inside and outside of the machine in order to
adjust for changes in environmental conditions.
The humidifier and water chamber also employs Dry Box technology to
reduce water damage. The air outlet port is on the top of the
humidifier instead of the side. The water chamber also uses a one-way
valve that connects the machine and humidifier.
System One Resistance Control
No matter the type of mask used, PR System One Resistance Control helps
to coordinate both the mask and machine to attain optimal pressure. To
define variable resistance attributes, Respironics employs a numbering
system on all of its masks. Each number is utilized to program the BiPAP
to coordinate with each mask type. This compensates for the variance
in pressures in each mask and provides a more consistent pressure.
Auto EPAP
The EPAP technology in the System One aids in the observation of
obstructed versus clear airways. It achieves this by utilizing an
Auto-titrating algorithm allowing the device to operate like an Auto
CPAP or Auto BiPAP device. With EPAP, the system automatically
recognizes and adjusts to any condition change (such as a drop in weight
or a change in medication).
Advanced back-up rate
Complex Sleep Apnea can develop as a result of CPAP treatment. In order
to prevent this, the advanced backup rate encourages spontaneous
breathing at a natural rate. This is accomplished by the system
automatically calculating the backup rate to closely match the natural
breathing rate.
Servo ventilation (SV) algorithm
The SV algorithm of the PR System One provides a smoother breathing
pattern by tracking pressure changes breath by breath and ensuring
proper breathing cycles. It establishes a target peak flow, which
assists in normalizing breathing patterns.
Bi-Flex technology
By tracking each breath during three critical points during the
breathing cycle, Bi-Flex technology provides constant pressure relief.
Pressure is reduced by half centimeter increments during the transition
from exhalation to inhalation, inhalation to exhalation and during
exhalation. This provides more comfort and assists in attaining a
natural breathing pattern. The Bi-Flex setting can be adjusted up to
1.5cm of water pressure for maximum comfort.
