1.1 General Information

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition that is an intermittent and reoccurring obstruction of the upper
respiratory tract, causing a complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) blockage of respiratory airflow during sleep.
The syndrome varies in degree, depending on the position of the tongue and soft palate muscle when in a relaxed
state.
The most common treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP devices can deliver
constant air pressure into your upper respiratory tract via a nasal mask. This constant air pressure can keep your
airway open during sleep, preventing occurrences of OSA.
This unit is a CPAP device regulated by an internal micro-processor. It features a menu-driven LCD display,
universal power supply, and Ramp Time Adjustment. The Ramp Time Adjustment feature allows the unit to begin at
low pressures, allowing you to comfortably fall asleep. The unit will then gradually "ramp up" the pressure over a
configurable period of time until the appropriate therapy pressure is reached. This unit also has a Compliance
Meter that records patient usage data that can be reviewed by a physician at a later time.
The system has been tested and successfully approved for the following standard:
IEC/EN 60601-1
IEC/EN 60601-1-2
IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Class A
