Description
The BiPAP A40 ventilator
The BiPAP A40 ventilator is intended to provide invasive and non-invasive ventilatory support to treat adult and pediatric patients weighing over 10 kg (22 lbs) with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Respiratory Insufficiency, or Respiratory Failure. It is intended to be used in home, institutional/hospital, and portable applications such as wheelchairs and gurneys. It is not intended to be used as a transport ventilator, and is not intended for life support.
AVAPS-AE – Auto-titration mode has the proven performance of AVAPS, maintains a patent airway and applies an auto back-up rate.
BiPAP AVAPS delivers customized patient care by automatically adapting to disease progressions and changing patient needs. It helps to maintain optimal patient comfort and supporting patient care and ventilation efficacy while simplifying the titration process.

Features
Auto Pressure Support
Maintains targeted tidal volume
Auto EPAP
Maintains patent upper airway at comfortable pressure Proactive search with FOT for EPAP Auto titration
Auto Backup Rate EPAP
Simplifies setup of backup rate Maintains,Based on patient spontaneous resting rate
Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS)
• Hybrid mode that provides consistent tidal volume per breath while delivering the comfort and advantages of pressure support ventilation.
• Designed to apply the minimum pressure support required to achieve the prescribed tidal volume.
• Helps to maintain optimal patient comfort while supporting patient care and ventilation efficacy while simplifying the titration process.
Automated Airway Management
• Automatically and dynamically manages a patient’s upper airway in any ventilation mode
• Continuously monitors and reacts to changes in the upper airway
• Applies only the lowest possible pressure
• Treats overlapping breathing syndromes
Digital Auto-Trak
• Monitors each breath with an automated breath triggering, cycling and leak compensation algorithm to provide personalized therapy adjustments
• Auto adjusts ventilation to the patient’s natural breathing patterns and compensates for leaks
• Adapts breath triggering and cycling as the patients disease progresses
• Helps to eliminates need for manual adjustments
AVAPS-AE
• Automatically maintains a patent airway and maintains a targeted tidal volume with the proven performance of AVAPS
• Applies comfortable pressures to achieve a patent upper airway
• Applies an auto backup rate near a patient’s resting rate
• Increases Total Sleep Time by 20% when compared to manual titration for nocturnal ventilation.
