AirCurve™ 10 S Bi-Level with Humidifier and ClimateLine™ Air Heated Tube
Copy of RX Required if Applicable to U.S Residents
Product Description
AirCurve™ 10 S is a Bi-Level type of machine that offers two different pressure settings| usually within 4cm/H2O (i.e. 8cm/4cm). What that means is that one setting is an inspiratory pressure (IPAP) and one is an expiratory pressure (EPAP). When the pressures are delivered you will receive the IPAP when you breathe in and then the pressure will drop to the EPAP when you breathe out. This can make therapy feel more comfortable| for patients that need that extra pressure support.
The AirCurve™ 10 S also comes with an integrated humidifier| that makes sleep therapy even more comfortable. Patients have better success using a humidifier with their therapy| keeping the nose and mouth from drying out through the night.

Bi-Level CPAP Machine Differences
Important Facts about Bi-Level Machines: Bi-Level PAP therapy uses 2 levels of pressure to treat sleep apnea| an inspiratory pressure (IPAP) and an expiratory pressure (EPAP). This simply means that the pressure delivered upon inhalation is higher than the pressure upon breathing out and is beneficial to the person that has trouble exhaling against standard CPAP pressure.
Important Facts about Humidification: Using a humidifier with your therapy can reduce dryness and congestion and improve comfort. The airflow generated by CPAP therapy is often greater than what your body is accustomed to humidifying on its own. However| with proper humidification| you can reduce common symptoms like nasal congestion and dry throat.
ResMed heated humidifiers add moisture and warmth to the air delivered by therapy devices| reducing the symptoms of dryness and congestion and therefore improving therapy comfort.
