Changes

** If two apneas occur within a minute, the pressure reached in response to the second apnea will become the new minimum treatment pressure until the next treatment session.

Patients who use AutoSet for Her will still get the benefits of ResMed's AutoSet technology including improved sensitivity to flow-limitation and Central Sleep Apnoea Detection with ForcedOscillation Technique.

The pioneering new algorithm in the AirSense™ 10 AutoSet for Her is based on ResMed’s proven AutoSet algorithm and delivers therapeutic responses that have been tailored to the characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in women.

In addition, the algorithm provides more subtle changes in therapy pressure to minimize sleep disturbance. The AutoSet for Her algorithm also automatically adjusts the minimum AutoSet pressure if multiple apneas are occurring below a certain threshold.

ResMed’s AutoSet algorithm continually monitors each patient’s unique breathing pattern on a breath-by-breath basis – every hour, every night.

Once the event is treated and the patient’s breathing stabilizes, AutoSet gradually decreases the pressure, while continuously monitoring for recurring events. Patients remain comfortable through it all, and receive the therapy pressure that is just right for treating their OSA – no more and no less.
