plusmed “ health management pM-CPOl PLUS | CPAP / CPAP with Humidifier - Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the upper airway becomes narrow as the muscles relax naturally during sleep. This reduces oxygen in the blood and causes arousal from sleep. The CPAP machine stops this phenomenon by delivering a stream of compressed air (created by motor) via a tube to a face mask through the airway to patient’s lung so that unobstructed breathing becomes possible, therefore reducing and/or preventing apneas and hypopneas. Therefore the CPAP is the best choice to OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome) therapy. -\ O Pressure range: 3-20 cnnH20 0 Alarm signaling the removal of the mask 0 Advantage of easy installation O 0-60 min ramp time 0 Lightweight 0 Quiet operation 0 6 level temperature adjustment 0 Lighted LCD screen O Optional: Humidifier (Contains in pM-CPOl PLUS) y_>
