How the device works

General information
The point 2 has an electronically controlled blower to
create the air pressure. In order to keep impositions to
the patient at a minimum, the blower has been fitted with
high power reserve capacity and a rapid control response.
The point 2 has an inbuilt microcontroller to control all
its functions. Further comfort functions include a soft
start ramp, automatic start / stop and adjustable display
brightness.
Air going through the device is warmed slightly and there-
fore gains a higher water absorption capacity. The mucous
membranes in the mouth and nose can dry out, particularly
in winter when the ambient air is dry. This is unpleasant
and in some cases may also lead to infections. Therefore,
a respiratory air humidifier may be necessary in conjunc-
tion with a treatment. The plug-in aquapoint 2 humidifier
is available as an accessory to humidify respiratory air.
For more information on the humidifier read the aqua-
point 2 user's manual or contact your specialist dealer.
