→ResMed vs Phillips Respironics
In the opinion of some Wiki Editors, the AutoSet is a much more capable machine. The following outlines their comparison of ResMed vs. Philips-Respironics auto-CPAP machines:
''Why ResMed?''# ''Faster algorithmic response to events than PR.''# ''ResMed Responds to Flow Limits and PR responds to Snores''# ''Lower average pressure (PR require a higher pressure to ward off obstructive events)''# ''Better to avoid Aerophagia.''# ''Flex is not the same as EPR''# ''EPR provides for better treatment of hypopneas, RERAs, Flow Limits, UARS, and snores''# ''EPR acts like a BiLevel up to a limit of 3cmw (1,2, or 3cmw) and a max pressure of 20 cmw. Phillips Respironics does not do this.''# ''EPR follows your breathing whereas Flex predicts it with a feeling of fighting to get a breath when it predicts incorrectly''# ''More flexibility in treating a greater variety of Apneas and respiratory events.''# ''In general ResMed provides better therapy.''
