Auto-CPAP Therapy: Sleep At Last

Combined therapy for obstructive and central apnea

The new auto-CPAP therapy device offers balanced treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. A reliable distinction is made between obstructive and central apnea by the new OPP (Obstructive Pressure Peak) technology. SOMNObalance e is small, light and extremely quiet. The therapy device makes operation very easy and cleaning procedures trouble-free.

With the SOMNOaqua optional integrated heated humidifier, this auto-CPAP device can grow with you as your needs change. The humidifier can be inserted simply into the device housing. Its high performance, convenient operation and very simple cleaning make it a valuable addition to the auto-CPAP device.

Balanced Sleep Therapy

• Quiet with stable pressure
• CPAP and APAP modes with pressure relief option (softPAP)
• OPP (Obstructive Pressure Peak) technology to distinguish central from obstructive sleep apnoea
• Epoch-based, need oriented pressure adjustment

Informative

• Patient-oriented info menu in display makes therapy success visible with information about RDI (Respiratory Disturbance Index), leakage and 90th percentile
• Extensive statistical data for therapy monitoring (including CPAP) with analysis by PC software SOMNOsupport (doctor's use only)
  • 35 hours of high resolution titration data and signals
  • 180 days of compliance data with compressed signals
  • 365 days of annual compliance data
• Remote setting with SOMNOadjust or SOMNOsupport
• Analog signals for PSG feed (pressure, flow, leakage, OPP, relative respiratory minute volume)

A Mobile Therapy Solution

• Small and light
• Worldwide use with 100 to 240V power connection
• Battery operation (cars: 12V or trucks: 24V) with optional DC adapter, also with simultaneous operation of humidifier

Convenient and user-friendly

• Suitable for full-face masks, nasal masks and nasal pillows
• Mask test to check mask air-tightness after device is switched on
• Softstart and infinitely adjustable increased starting pressure (aka ramp mode)
• Click adapter for standard hose
• 2-Level filter system with fine and coarse dust filters
• Including carrying bag

Why Auto-CPAP?

Some patients with obstructive sleep apnoea have greatly varied pressure needs. They are treated with auto-CPAP (APAP) machines that can always tell if a narrowing of the airways (an obstruction/apnoea/hypopnoea) is taking place. If that is the case, the device reacts to prevent the airways from closing. Auto-CPAP devices by Weinmann are designed for needs-oriented pressure adjustments and developed with technologies such as OPP or OPS for reliable recognition of central and obstructive events. By combining information from several signals, the device offers outstanding accuracy in its assessment of apnoea, hypopnea, flow limitations and snoring.
