The BiPAP AVAPS noninvasive home ventilator simplifies patient care by automatically adjusting pressure support to meet changing patient needs. Ensures the delivery of a targeted tidal volume, it is smaller, lighter, and quieter than its predecessor. BiPAP AVAPS features an exclusive algorithm that automatically delivers therapy even as patient needs change.
TECHNOLOGY
AVAPS—advanced technology that simplifies patient care
It's the only way of ensuring the delivery of targeted tidal volume for noninvasive ventilation patients. Shorthand for "Average Volume Assured Pressure Support," AVAPS sets the standard in noninvasive ventilation. The exclusive AVAPS algorithm automatically adjusts pressure support to meet changing patient needs while maintaining a target tidal volume.* * Storre, JH, et al. Average Volume-Assured Pressure Support in Obesity Hypoventilation: A Randomized Crossover Trial. Chest 2006;130;815–821
Advanced leak–sensing technology with Digital Auto–Trak
With proven Digital Auto–Trak Sensitivity algorithm enables clinicians to achieve optimum patient/ventilator synchrony.
Improved humidification
“System One Humidity Control” analyzes ambient temperature, relative humidity and patient flow to deliver optimum humidity — and ultimate comfort — to the patient while also dramatically reducing rainout.
