Comfort features

Ramp

Designed to make the beginning of treatment more comfortable, ramp is available in all modes.
In AutoSet mode, ramp time defines the period during which the pressure gradually increases from
a lower more comfortable start pressure to the minimum treatment pressure before the
auto-adjusting algorithm commences.
In CPAP mode, the pressure increases from a low pressure (Start Pressure) to the prescribed
treatment pressure.
Ramp Time can be set to Off, 5 to 45 minutes or Auto. When Ramp Time is set to Auto, the device
will detect sleep onset and then gradually increase from the start pressure to the minimum
treatment pressure at a rate of 1 cm H
detected, the device will reach the target pressure within 30 minutes.

Expiratory Pressure Relief

Designed to make therapy more comfortable, Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR) maintains optimal
treatment for the patient during inhalation and reduces the delivered mask pressure during
exhalation.
