2. Description

Note:
SOMNOsmart 2, SOMNOset and SOMNOsoft + are of largely identical basic design. They differ only in
the software, display and fascia film. SOMNOsoft + has no oscillation generator and no microphone.

2.1 Purpose of SOMNOsmart 2

SOMNOsmart 2 is a smartPAP device for treating
sleep-related respiratory disorders.
SOMNOsmart 2 generates positive airway
pressure (PAP).
SOMNOsmart 2 is a self-regulating device. It
recognizes respiratory events and varies the
airway pressure accordingly.
While the patient is asleep, the airways are
braced by the air pressure generated.
Airway pressure is administered by means of a
mask.
SOMNOsmart 2 can be used for people aged
12 years or more.

2.2 Purpose of SOMNOset

SOMNOset is a device for efficient adjustment to
CPAP patients. The device can work on a stand-
alone basis or in conjunction with the remote
control SOMNOadjust or an extended user
interface of the SOMNOsupport software. The
recorded data can also be visualized and
evaluated with the aid of SOMNOsupport.
SOMNOset permits titration without the patient
coming to a sleep laboratory. Titration can be
carried out in the patient's familiar surroundings.
SOMNOset generates positive airway pressure
(PAP).
SOMNOset may be operated as a self-regulating
device. In that case SOMNOset recognizes
respiratory events and varies the airway pressure
accordingly.
While the patient is asleep, the airways are
braced by the air pressure generated.

Description
SOMNOsmart 2 from software version 6.0; in gener-
al from device no. 10,000:
creases patient comfort by means of a brief
pressure reduction during the transition from inha-
lation to exhalation.
Important!
SOMNOsmart 2 can reliably prevent closure of
the airways only if the upper and lower pressure
limits specific to the patient and prescribed by a
doctor have been determined, e.g. in a sleep
laboratory, and set accordingly.
SOMNOsmart 2 is suitable for use as a life-
not
support system.
Airway pressure is administered by means of a
mask.
In the Autotitration mode the device determines,
during the titration night, a therapy pressure
(recommended titration pressure) that largely
prevents closure of the upper airways.
From the data recorded, the physician can
determine the required therapy pressure. This
pressure is set on the therapy device which is given
to the patient for long-term therapy following
titration.
SOMNOset can be used for people aged 12
years or more.
Important!
SOMNOset is suitable for use as a life-support
not
system.
