1.1 General Information

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition that is an intermittent and reoccurring obstruction of
the upper respiratory tract, causing a complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) blockage of
respiratory airflow during sleep. The syndrome varies in degree, depending on the position of the
tongue and soft palate muscle when in a relaxed state.
The most common treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP
devices can deliver constant air pressure into your upper respiratory tract via a nasal mask. This
constant air pressure can keep your airway open during sleep, preventing occurrences of OSA.
This unit is a CPAP device regulated by an internal micro-processor. It features a menu-driven
LCD display, universal power supply, and Ramp Time Adjustment. The Ramp Time Adjustment
feature allows the unit to begin at low pressures, allowing you to comfortably fall asleep. The unit
will then gradually "ramp up" the pressure over a configurable period of time until the appropriate
therapy pressure is reached. This unit also has a Compliance Meter that records patient usage
data that can be reviewed by a physician at a later time.
The system has been tested and successfully approved for the following standard:
