ResMed VPAP S 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
Minimum size, maximum performance
These advanced bilevel ventilating systems are con-
tained 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.
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 wave-
form is more natural and comfortable than the traditional
square bilevel waveform. Easy-Breathe fills the lungs
gradually, leaving patients relaxed. Originally introduced
in the VPAP Adapt SV,™the smooth pressure waveform is
ideally suited for noncompliant CPAP patients as well.
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.
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™products offer the ultimate in silent, synchronized
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.
Radiated noise measured at 10 cm H2O at a distance of
1 meter according to ISO 17510-1 (as measured on 12/7/07).

Adjustable trigger & cycle sensitivities
Because every patient is different, five sensitivity settings
provide the clinician with more opportunities to fine-tune
therapy.
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.
Proven technology, effective treatment
ResMed’s VPAP technologies ensure comfortable therapy and enable the clinician to
fine-tune settings to a degree not possible in competitive products.
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 tho-
racic diseases, VPAP ST provides a programmable backup
rate in S/T and T modes. Now even your noninvasive
ventilation patients can benefit from Easy-Breathe quiet
performance and a sleek, travel-friendly package.

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 pre-
emptively to inspiratory flow 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™Data Card
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.
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.
