2. Description of the equipment

2.1 Intended use SOMNOcomfort 2 and SOMNOcomfort 2e

SOMNOcomfort 2 and SOMNOcomfort 2e are CPAP-Therapy units for the treatment of sleep related
respiratory disorders.
• SOMNOcomfort 2/SOMNOcomfort 2e
creates continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP).
• While sleeping, the patient's airways are
stabilized by the applied pressure.
• Air pressure is administered by means of a
breathing mask.
• SOMNOcomfort 2/SOMNOcomfort 2e can
be used for patients age 12 and up.

2.2 Intended use SOMNObalance and SOMNObalance e

SOMNObalance and SOMNObalance e are autoCPAP devices for treating sleep-related respiratory
disorders.
• SOMNObalance/SOMNObalance e

Description of the equipment
Important!
SOMNOcomfort 2/SOMNOcomfort 2e can
only reliably prevent airway closure when the
CPAP pressure prescribed by a doctor for the
specific patient has been calculated, e.g. in a
sleep laboratory. Pressure is set by either using the
SOMNOadjust remote control or
SOMNOsupport at the units front control panel.
SOMNOcomfort 2 and SOMNOcomfort 2e are
designed for life support.

Important!
SOMNObalance/SOMNObalance e can only
reliably prevent airway blockage if the upper and
lower pressure limit prescribed by the doctor on a
patient-specific basis has been determined and set
accordingly, for example in a sleep laboratory.
