The S9 Elite is the premium Continuous Positive Airway pressure (CPAP) model in ResMed's S9 Series. ResMed has incorporated Easy-Breathe Technology along with expiratory pressure relief (EPR) to make breathing through a CPAP feel more "natural". Major improvements can be seen throughout the system with advanced features like the Optional H5i with Climate Control, ClimateLine heated tubing, and on-display advanced data reporting.
The S9 Elite is a sleek, all-in-one system that is ideal for any nightstand. Users can take advantage of EPR settings and Easy-Breathe Technology to drop the pressure upon exhalation so that breathing feels more "natural". The machine is fully customizable with reminders for accessory replacements like your mask or machine filters. The S9 Elite can also display advanced therapy and compliance data through the color display.
Mask-Fit System ResMed has incorporated a simple and effective tool for help with proper mask fitting.
The Mask-Fit system allows users to preset a mask type, tailoring the S9 CPAP therapy to a particular mask style: Nasal Pillows Full Face Once set, the Mask-Fit system runs a 3-minute seal integrity test, prior to therapy treatment. After 3 minutes, a Mask-Fit icon appears (a green or red smiley face). If the smiley face is red, adjustments are necessary until the smiley face turns green, then therapy will begin.
EPR with Easy-Breathe Technology
Easy-Breathe technology softens the breathing cycle by monitoring the user's breathing pattern. Along with EPR, the S9 Elite synchronizes the user's inspiratory and expiratory cycle. A smoother, more natural delivery of pressure keeps the motor whisper-quiet when operating. Easy-Breathe allows the S9 Series to operate at 26 dBA when set to 10cm of pressure from a distance of one meter. The overall reduction in motor operation helps keep conducted noise from traveling through the tubing and away from the mask. No more motor whining and noise generated inside the CPAP hose.
Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR) EPR decreases the pressure at the beginning of each breath and keeps the pressure low throughout the exhalation.
The pressure is reduced by an exact pressure drop of one, two or three centimeters of water pressure. EPR gradually changes therapy pressures so there is little ventilatory effect. EPR also has an Event Detection Circuit.
When a sleep disordered breathing event lasts longer than 10 seconds, EPR stops until the event concludes and normal breathing with EPR resumes. EPR with Easy-Breathe technology also allows users to customize the RAMP feature.
Set the S9 Elite to EPR RAMP ONLY mode to enhance comfort and help improve compliance. Users are more aware of pressure changes as they fall asleep, using pressure relief during the ramp period naturalizes this process.
SmartStart / SmartStop SmartStart / SmartStop enables your device to start automatically by breathing into the mask.
This feature automatically starts and stops your CPAP machine when you put on or take off your mask.
On-Display advanced data There are two menus that provide users with information about compliance, therapy and machine settings:
Standard Menu and Clinical Menu. Both can be reached by using the "Info" button on your machine, but the Advanced Info Menu will only appear if the machine is in its Clinical Mode.
