Description
"This machine is an Automatic CPAP machine and varies the pressure according to your needs. There are many people ask the benefit of this and it simply means the machine monitors every breathe you take and adjusts the pressure according to your needs. There will be minimal snoring and apneas with an Auto Machine. Some doctors will prescribe specific pressure and if these are provided we will set the machine accordingly. If you are unsure put the minimum as 6cm H2O and the maximum as 20cm H2O
The Algorthm built into the Philips dreamstation machine is considered to be the the number one algorithm. The algorithm is the rules built into the machine designed to adjust the pressure according to your needs. Some algorithms under deliver and others make the pressure shoot up at a quick rate. The Dreamstation gets is just right
When it comes to communication, the DreamStation has almost all angles covered. The DreamMapper is an application from Philips Respironics which enables you to upload data from your machine to various devices. There is Bluetooth that you can use to connect your machine with your phone, computer or tablet.
The application is meant to motivate patients to be more involved in the treatment of their sleep apnea. These machines do not have modems included but the phone will effectively work as a modem as it link to the machine and then sends the data to the cloud. This data is then available to your provider and they can make this available to your doctor. All you need to do is bluetooth the machine to your device
The DreamStation is a product from Philips, a company that has been manufacturing quality products for decades. The white color of the units has them looking modern and classy. You can see Philips personality in the design of this product.
The DreamStation was designed with a minimalist concept in mind, meant to blend in with the rest of the room. The unit has a display screen that shows information such as pressure levels, apnea levels and mask leakage. After you wake up, you will have the previous night’s report ready for you.
The humidifier has an adaptive mode which automatically adjusts to the room conditions and will optimise the humidity. this humidify can also be removed if you want to use the machine without the humidifier. The product also come standard with a heated tube and this prevents unwanted condensation in the winter months.
There have been numerous complaints from CPAP users concerning the difficulty of breathing against the pressure. The machine has both A and C Flex with the former meant to help patients to inhale and exhale against the pressure, while the latter works by helping patients breathe against the pressure. This feature helps in providing comfort to patients.
Another issue faced by CPAP users is the difficulty of sleeping with high air pressures. The SmartRamp feature makes it easier for patients to fall asleep by reducing the machine’s pressure levels. Unless the patient experiences obstruction in their airway, the SmartRamp will ensure that the pressure levels remain low throughout the night.
An additional feature that will come to the aid of many is the new diagnostic tool. Many a times patients return their machines back claiming that they are faulty, only because they hadn’t learnt how to use their machines properly. The diagnostic tool will run a quick check to determine whether everything is in working order.
Even though you can use Bluetooth, there is still an SD card for data storage. This card can help show data for the previous 7 days, including the breaths you take.
