BiPAP AVAPS

The newest Respironics BiPAP and Noninvasive Ventilatory Support device available , the BiPAP AVAPS machine combines the comfort of pressure ventilation with the effectiveness of volume ventilation to produce a revolutionary machine that adapts to each patient's changing needs every night. Using the latest technology in Noninvasive Ventilatory Support for home use, the BiPAP AVAPS device guarantees a certain volume of air per minute using the Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS) technology exclusive to Respironics.
AVAPS is a revolutionary method of ensuring the delivery of a consistent tidal volume to patients requiring ventilatory support. AVAPS uses an algorithm that estimates the patient's tidal volume over several breaths. The algorithm calculates the change in pressure needed to achieve the target tidal volume then slowly increases or decreases the IPAP pressure to achieve the proper pressure support. AVAPS, therefore, adapts to disease progression and changes to meet the patient's specific needs while achieving patient comfort and safety.

• Adapts automatically to changing needs every night. Perfect for progressive neuromuscular patients whose ventilatory needs change often.
• Maintains optimal comfort for the patient without decreasing effectiveness or safety.
• Digital Auto-Trak System with built-in leak detection ensures a breath-by-breath response to a patient's breathing patterns.
• The AVAPS algorithm estimates tidal volume over a few breaths and ensures that the average volume is reached by adjusting IPAP pressure throughout the night.
• Designed especially for patients with certain diseases or disorders, such as: neuromuscular and COPD patients who have respiratory insufficiency, or obese patients with hypoventilation problems.
