Breas PV10i™ Intelligent CPAP
The PV10i™ recognises individual fl ow
patterns, and by using a highly advanced
processing technique, treats the symptom
before the event occurs. Overall improvement
in sleep quality, greater comfort,
fewer apneas and arousals are achieved
due to several key features:
- Intra-breath analysis, rather than a breath-to-breath comparison.
- Very gentle pressure steps (max 0.125 cmH2O)
- Low mean pressure
- Early detection of sleep related breathing disorders (SRBD)
- Robust against artefacts and mask leakages
- Quiet, less than 30 dBA
PV 10i, The pattern of sleep to come
The BREAS PV 10i is a sophisticated, yet easy to use self-adjusting CPAP device, that effectively identifies and treats obstructed breathing at a reduced mean pressure level compared to conventional CPAP. By applying an advanced processing technique, similar to voice recognition, an individual’s flow template is created from a vast number of flow models. The individual’s flow pattern is constantly examined and the model parameters are extracted 20 times per second. They are then compared to a set of pre-stored templates in order to decide whether and how the pressure should be adjusted.
Clever design provides more practical benefi ts to the patient and clinician:
- Easy to use with different mask types
- Can switch from self-adjusting to conventional CPAP
- No initiation time is required for device calibration
- Patient compliance memory
Confidence and freedom to travel with the unit provides further benefit to the patient’s well-being:
- Lightweight at only 1.7kg/3.7 lbs
- Universal power supply
- Integral alarm clock
- Automatic altitude compensation
