The AirCurve™ 10 VAuto machine is an auto-adjusting bi-level machine for the treatment of sleep apnea. The Bi-Level machine has two different, auto adjustable pressures which can make therapy feel more comfortable, for patients that need that extra pressure support. The AirCurve™ 10 VAuto also comes with an integrated humidifier, that makes sleep therapy even more comfortable. Users have better success using a humidifier with their therapy, keeping the nose and mouth from drying out through the night.
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 a 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.
