EcoStar INFO by Sefam is a basic CPAP machine, easy to use, comfortable and with small dimensions. The differentiating feature with respect to the Ecostar CPAP machine is the inclusion of a data storage system that refers to night events. This system includes both the hardware, a data card, and the software (Dreamstar Analyze 4.0), which allows detecting residual sleep apneas and hypopneas, snoring and, in general, the limitations of airflow in inspirations and saving all these data for 365 days. All these data are represented in simple graphs that allow the doctor to easily evaluate them to adjust the treatment, the most common adjustment being the level of continuous air pressure.
The Ecostar INFO CPAP guarantees good performance, and has great ease of use, allowing people to adapt to their daily use with great ease.
Its lightness and small dimensions make it perfect for use in small bedrooms, since it takes up little space, or to take on a trip, due to its low weight. Being a CPAP machine, it provides Continuous air pressure to Obstructive Sleep Apnea (also called "OSA" Obstructive Sleep Apnea) patients.
Other functions included:
- The Sefam Ecostar INFO CPAP machine includes other functions, some of them of utmost importance for the treatment of sleep apnea and others perhaps of lesser importance and that influence more on patient comfort. This machine includes all of them:
Specific self-calibration:
- The pressure that the doctor prescribes to the patients after the polysomnographic study is the pressure that the patient must RECEIVE, and not the one that the machine supplies. The Ecostar Info Specific Self-Calibration function guarantees the reception of said pressure regardless of the circuit used by the patient and, therefore, without influencing the type of mask, tube, use or not of humidifier, etc.
Ramp:
- It is a function present in most CPAP machines and it allows to administer a minimum pressure during a certain time to facilitate the patient falling asleep. Once this time has elapsed, the Ecostar Info increases the pressure to the pressure indicated and parameterized in the machine.
Comfort Calibration (CC +):
- It is a function of the Ecostar Info that allows to reduce the continuous air pressure at the moment of expiration, so that the air flow adapts to the respiratory cycle WITHOUT REDUCING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE TREATMENT, since at the time of the new inspiration, the pressure increases until prescribed by the doctor.
Mask disconnected:
- In case the machine detects the disconnection of the mask, and therefore the user has removed it, it reduces the air pressure supplied to a minimum, stopping automatically after half an hour without use.
Auto-On:
- This function allows the user not to have to hit the power button of the CPAP machine, but simply by breathing from the mask, that one, the machine, automatically starts working with the Ramp function, in case This is parameterized, or with the prescribed continuous air pressure if the Ramp function is disabled.
EcoStar is successor of GoodKinght H2O, compatible with the GKH2O heated humidifier.
