You should have previous experience, specialist prescription, sleep test study results or BiPAP treatment settings available to hire a BiPAP device. This is because a BiPAP titration study and sleep test results are required to configure the machine according to your condition and respiratory needs.

If you do not have sleep test results but still wish to hire a BiPAP machine, it will be sent to you in a factory state, and you will need to configure the device yourself. We can only offer limited support with BiPAP configuration unless provided with polysomnographic sleep test data or previous BiPAP machine settings. 

How does BiPAP differ from Auto CPAP?

BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) provides two pressure levels: higher for inhalation (IPAP) and lower for exhalation (EPAP), allowing more therapy settings for complex respiratory conditions like Central Sleep Apnea (CSA), COPD, or neuromuscular disorders. Auto CPAP adjusts pressure dynamically for patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by providing the minimal necessary pressure to keep airways open. BiPAP settings involve specific IPAP and EPAP values determined by a healthcare provider, while Auto CPAP operates within a preset range, adjusting more or less autonomously to find the optimal pressure.

Key Features of the VM8:

Wide Range of Therapy Modes:

• Modes include S, Auto S, ST, Auto ST, T, PC, CPAP, and APCV to address diverse respiratory needs.

Advanced Comfort Features:

• Ti-Control and Easy Breathe Technology: Enhance patient comfort and ease of use.
• Heated Humidification System: Ensures comfortable breathing.
• Expiratory Pressure Relief (EPR): Adjustable from levels 0 to 3 for easier exhalation.

Designed for Ease of Use:

• Intuitive screen and large shuttle buttons provide easy access to therapy information and settings.
• APCV analyzes breathing patterns to deliver optimal air pressure on a breath-by-breath basis.
• Automatic ON/OFF feature that activates the device when a mask is worn and turns it off when the mask is removed.
• Smart ramp settings start therapy at a low pressure, gradually increasing it to the therapeutic level as the user falls asleep.

High Pressure Capability:

• Pressure range of 4-30 cm H2O, suitable for users with severe sleep apnea who require higher pressure settings.

Therapy and Tracking Features:

• Sleep Tracking: Includes a TF card for detailed data storage and therapy support from healthcare providers.
• Advanced Event Detection: Identifies and analyzes various respiratory events to aid in the clinical management of OSA.
• Monitored Respiratory Events: Tracks metrics such as OAI, AHI, PB, FL, CAI, HI, SNI, and RERA.

Quiet Operation:

• Less than 26 decibels (dB), quieter than a whisper, providing a peaceful sleeping environment.

Renting a CPAP/APAP is a popular choice for first-time users to become accustomed to the machine and ensure full compliance before committing to buy. Or if you're traveling and can't fit your current machine or simply forgot it, we're here to help.
