VPAP® III Series
ResMed's VPAP™ III bilevel positive airway pressure (PAP) devices provide comfortable, convenient, and quiet therapy for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and complicating factors, such as restrictive or obstructive lung disease.
Many OSA patients use bilevel devices because they need a lower pressure during exhalation. The lower pressure makes treatment more comfortable.
Bilevel devices offer the most significant improvements in comfort when they achieve patient-machine synchrony. In other words, the bilevel device needs to stay in sync with you on each inhale and exhale. ResMed's patented Vsync™ and TiControl™ technology provide excellent synchrony, even with air leaks.
Features & Benefits
- Vsync and TiControl technology ensure comfortable therapy, even in the presence of mask and mouth leaks.
- Optional integrated humidification meets your varying needs with changing symptoms and seasons.
- Patient adjustable ramp time starts therapy gradually so you can fall asleep easily (0-45 minutes).
- SmartStart™ feature automatically starts and stops your device.
- Mask-fitting feature verifies that your mask has a good air seal.
- Automatic internal power converter enables trouble-free international travel.
- Comprehensive data management features enable your clinician to monitor and manage your therapy.
