Device information:
The ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto with HumidAir is an automatically adjustable dual-Level (BiPAP) device that uses two pressure settings to treat sleep apnea. What is the difference between CPAP and Bi-Level? A CPAP machine uses one pressure setting to keep the airway open and stable while dual-Level uses two settings: One for inhalation and the other for exhalation. Not only does the AirCurve V Auto allow for two pressures, but it also uses an auto-adjusting algorithm to deliver these pressures based on the user's treatment needs.
The ResMed AirCurve 10 is a dual-level device that automatically adjusts and uses the comfort of the AutoSet and Easy-Breathe Waveform in the VAuto algorithm to treat obstructive sleep apnea patients who could benefit from greater pressure support.
The AirCurve 10 VAuto adjusts baseline pressure to keep the airway open while maintaining constant pressure support. VAuto mode features ResMed's unique Easy-Breathe natural pressure wave, designed for patients with normal lung function, for maximum comfort. VAuto now also includes the Enhanced AutoSet algorithm with central sleep apnea (CSA) detection
