Device description
HOW THE DEVICE WORKS
The point 2 has an electronically controlled blower to
create the air pressure. In order to keep impositions
to the patient at a minimum, the blower has been
fi
t-
ted with high power reserve capacity and a rapid con-
trol response.
The point 2 has an inbuilt microcontroller to control all
its functions. An integrated quartz alarm clock increases
the comfort level when using the device. Further comfort
functions include a soft start ramp, automatic start / stop
and adjustable display brightness.
Air going through the device is warmed slightly and
therefore gains a higher water absorption capacity. The
mucous membranes in the mouth and nose can dry
out, particularly in winter when the ambient air is dry.
This is unpleasant and in some cases may also lead to
infections. Therefore, a respiratory air humidi
fi
er may
be necessary in conjunction with a CPAP treatment.
The plug-in
aqua
point 2
humidi
fi
er is available as an
accessory to humidify respiratory air.
For more information on the humidi
fi
er read the
aqua-
point 2
user‘s manual or contact your specialist dealer.
