The REMstar M Series device, shown in Figure 1–2, is a sleep apnea therapy system that
delivers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP maintains a constant level of pres-
sure throughout the breathing cycle.
When prescribed for you, the device provides a special feature to help make your therapy more
comfortable. The ramp function allows you to lower the pressure when you are trying to fall
asleep. The air pressure will gradually increase until your prescription pressure is reached. You also
have the option of not using the ramp feature at all.
