VPAP™Auto
VPAP Auto with Easy-Breathe . . . the next level in bilevel.
Quiet comfort with Easy-Breathe
Featuring Easy-Breathe, ResMed’s new
comfort technology, VPAP Auto offers
nearly silent therapy and greater pressure
stability so patients sleep comfortably
throughout the night. VPAP Auto uses
the smooth pressure delivery of the
VPAP Adapt SV™and synchronizes with
the patient’s normal respiration so that
breathing feels more natural and
comfortable.
Simple setup
VPAP Auto’s carefully selected default
settings and auto-adjusting VAuto mode
mean one-touch setup is all that is needed
for many patients.
Proven technology, effective treatment
VAuto mode uses AutoSet technology to
automatically adjust to a patient’s pressure
needs as they vary throughout the night.
With ResMed’s clinically proven AutoSet
algorithm, VPAP Auto is able to detect
flow limitation and act preemptively to
prevent apneic and snoring events.
Equipped with three modes (VAuto, S and
CPAP), VPAP Auto is the most versatile
device available and is compatible with the
S8 ResLink,
™HumidAire 3i, ™ResScan, ™
S8 ResTraxx™and ResControl II.
