Exclusive benefits for your patients and for you

VAPS:

• Automatically adapts to disease progression and changing patient needs.
• Maintains optimal patient comfort without compromising patient care and efficacy.
• Improves ventilation efficacy.
• Simplifies the titration process.

 

Advanced leak-sensing technologywith Digital Auto-TrakOur clinically-proven Digital Auto-Trak sensitivity algorithm:

• Enables you to achieve optimum patient/ventilator synchrony.
• Recognizes and compensates for leaks.
• Automatically adjusts its variable trigger and cycle thresholds.

 

Easy access to patient data:

• Monitor patient compliance. Evaluate ventilation efficiency. Identify trends.
• Tap into EncorePro and EncoreAnywhere ventilation data management software.
• Access BiPAP AVAPS and BiPAP S/T ventilator data such as AHI, leak, clear airway apneas, and minute ventilation.
• Connect to your patients via wired and wireless modems plus an SD memory card.

 

Which patients benefit from AVAPS?

Any of your patients who develop chronic hypoventilation may find the BiPAP AVAPS a more comfortable and effective NIV therapy. For example, neuromuscular, COPD, and obesity hypoventilation patients are strong candidates for BiPAP AVAPS.

 

One unbeatable package: Improved patient care, automatic adjustments to meet changing patient needs, plus simplified patient management. And it all comes together in a new lighter,
quieter, and easy-to-use device that you and your patients are sure to appreciate. Integrated alarms help maintain patient safety. System One humidity control analyzes ambient temperature, relative humidity, and patient flow to deliver optimum humidity – and ultimate comfort – to the patient while also dramatically reducing rainout.

Product Details:

Aligned with the same platform as our System One sleep therapy technology, the Philips Respironics BiPAP AVAPS Non-Invasive ventilator provides the comfort of pressure ventilation and the consistent efficacy of assured tidal volume.

Features:

• AVAPS automatically adapts to your patient''s changing needs: Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS) maintains optimal patient comfort while supporting patient care and treatment efficacy. It automatically adapts to disease progression, improves ventilation efficacy, and simplifies the titration process.
• DirectView management and reporting software for breath-by-breath detail: This software streamlines reporting to help identify adjustments needed for effective treatment and patient care. DirectView allows clinicians to select and order parameters, and export data to statistical applications in an open format.
• Heated tube for more flexibility and patient comfort:The BiPAP AVAPS System One heated tube humidifier has a temperature sensor at the end of the heated tube to deliver the selected level of humidity to the patient, while providing protection against rainout. As a result, higher levels of humidity can be achieved for patients who could benefit from humidification.
• Digital Auto-Trak for advanced leak detection:This technology enables optimum patient/ventilator synchrony, recognizes and compensates for leaks, and automatically adjusts variable trigger and cycle thresholds.
• System One Resistance Control for complete system comfort:Resistance control enhances comfort by allowing the device and mask to work together optimally. Through simple settings, the technology instructs the device to compensate for variable resistance characteristics related to different masks. The result is synchronous pressure delivery and the assurance patients can enjoy the full benefit of our Flex comfort technologies no matter which Philips Respironics mask is used.
• Bi-Flex technology enhances patient comfort: Bi-Flex pressure relief technology makes BiPAP therapy more like natural breathing by delivering pressure relief.
• Clinically proven algorithms for advanced event detection: Continually monitor and adjust to a patient''s changing therapy needs with clinically proven algorithms, including the adjustable EPAP.
• Connectivity options for data transfer: The BiPAP AVAPS is capable of information transfer by SD card and wired, wireless, and broadband modems. It also has onboard memory, which stores a patient''s therapy data even when no SD card is present
• System One alignment for a wide range of accessories:The BiPAP AVAPS noninvasive ventilator aligns with the System One product family, leveraging accessories across all Philips Respironics sleep therapy and Non-Invasive ventilator devices.

• Description

  Philips Remstar Auto A-Flex CPAP machine is designed to deliver exceptional therapy for sleep apnea and enhances the patient’s comfort. The device has an auto-trial mode which delivers auto-CPAP therapy for up to 30 days and then it automatically transitions into CPAP-check mode at the pressure that patient was at, during the trial period.
  
  The CPAP-check mode monitors the optimal pressure in every 30 hours and if not correct, it automatically adjusts the nightly fixed pressure. As a result, therapeutic pressure is monitored and also enhances long term patient care. It is adaptable to patient’s pressure requirement over time.
  
  The device can screen the therapy hours that is the difference between the time the patient is receiving the therapy and the time when the blower is simply running. This gives an idea about how much the patient is dependent on the therapy and also helps in monitoring improvement in condition. The Remstar Auto A-Flex machine can be used even during airline travels, when it is operating from an AC or DC power source. The device does not require regular servicing. In case of a high priority alert, that is sound alarm of a continuous two-beep, it is advisable to contact the operator. The device should be used only if your doctor recommends and provider will make the required pressure setting based on your physician’s prescription.
  
  You can buy or rent the device from Nightingales for easy and comfortable sleep therapy at home.

Product Details:

The System One Heated Humidifier is an accessory for the Philips Respironics REMstar and BiPAP therapy devices to provide moisture to the patient circuit. It is intended for use in spontaneously breathing patients weighing over 30 kg (66 lbs), in the home or hospital/institutional environment, who use mask-applied positive pressure ventilation therapy.

Warnings: A warning indicates the possibility for injury to the user or the operator.

• Use the humidifier only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only with Philips Respironics full-face masks, nasal masks and connectors.
• Periodically inspect the humidifier for signs of wear or damage. Never operate the humidifier if any parts are damaged, if it is not working properly, or if the humidifier has been dropped or mishandled. Do not use the humidifier if the water tank is leaking or damaged in any way. Have any damaged parts replaced before continuing use.
• Periodically inspect the humidifier power cord for signs of wear or damage. If it becomes worn or damaged, contact Philips Respironics or your home care provider for a replacement.
• The humidifier must always be positioned below the breathing circuit connection at the mask and the air outlet on the device. The humidifier must be level for proper operation.
• Allow the humidifier heater plate and water to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before removing the water tank. A burn may result from: touching the heater plate, coming in contact with the heated water, or touching the tank pan.
• This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• When installing the water tank, do not allow any water to spill into the humidifier or therapy device.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, if it has been dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, disconnect the power cord from the therapy device and discontinue use. Contact your home care provider.
• Before cleaning the humidifier, always remove from the therapy device.
• Empty and clean the water tank daily to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Wipe the seal completely.
