2.3 Functional description SOMNOcomfort 2 and
SOMNOcomfort 2e
SOMNOcomfort 2 and SOMNOcomfort 2e operate according to the principle of an electrically driven flow
generator, with the pressure level being controlled electronically.
• A fan draws in ambient air via a filter and
conveys it to the unit outlet. From here the air
flows through the breathing tube and the mask
to the patient.
• A pressure sensor measures the pressure at the
unit outlet and shows this in the display. The
microprocessor-controlled flow generator
controls the pressure to the set value and
reduces fluctuations in pressure caused by
breathing.
• A softstart automatic system is installed to help
the patient fall asleep more easily. When the
unit is switched on, the CPAP pressure starts at
the initial pressure selected by the doctor and
is then slowly increased to the setpoint
pressure selected. The time of the pressure

2.4 Functional description SOMNObalance and SOMNObalance e

• A fan draws in ambient air via a filter and
conveys it to the unit outlet. From here the air
flows through the breathing tube and the mask
to the patient.
• The exhalation system upstream of the mask
prevents the accumulation of CO
exhaled air in the tube system. During sleep,
the patient's airways are braced by the air
pressure generated.
• The pressure in the mask is shown in the
therapy device display. The device determines
a respiratory flow signal which can be output
to a PSG system or also read out using
SOMNOsupport.
increase can be adjusted between 5 and
30 minutes in 5 minute increments.
• The therapy unit offers an automatic on/off
feature. The unit can then be switched on by
breathing into the mask. If there is no pressure
for approx. 15 seconds (e.g. because the
mask has been removed), it will switch off
automatically.
• The therapy parameters are set by trained
personnel using the remote control system
SOMNOadjust or the evaluation program
SOMNOsupport.
• The therapy unit will automatically save all
settings in the event of a power failure. This
means that the unit does not need to be reset
when power is restored.
• The device analyzes the pressure and
respiratory flow signals and detects respiratory
events (e.g. apneas, hypopneas, flow
limitations and snoring).
• In APAP mode, therapy pressure is
-enriched automatically increased in the event of
2
obstructive respiratory events, but no higher
than the upper pressure limit prescribed by the
doctor. Once the events are over, therapy
pressure is slowly reduced again.
• The device can be operated in APAP and
CPAP modes, in each case with softPAP
exhalation relief as an option.
