Home CPAP unit

Intended purpose

A device used to assist alveolar ventilation that provides for continuous positive airway pressure during spontaneous respiration. It is typically used for adult patients suffering from sleep apnoea due to airway obstructions. The airway pressure may be automatically adjusted to provide optimal CPAP-pressure through the use of a sensor. The devicemay be referred to as an Auto CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure).
