System overview
The BiPAP autoSV Advanced System One device is intended to augment your breathing by supplying pressurized air
through a circuit. It senses your breathing effort by monitoring airflow in the circuit and adjusts its output to assist in
inhalation and exhalation. This therapy is known as Bi-level ventilation. Bi-level ventilation provides a higher pressure,
known as IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure), when you inhale, and a lower pressure, known as EPAP
(Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure), when you exhale. The higher pressure makes it easier for you to inhale, and
the lower pressure makes it easier for you to exhale.
When prescribed, the device can also provide features to help make your therapy more comfortable. The ramp
function allows you to lower the pressure when trying to fall asleep. The air pressure will gradually increase until the
prescription pressure is reached. Additionally, the Bi-Flex comfort feature provides increased pressure relief during
the expiratory phase of breathing.
Several accessories are also available for use with the device. Contact your home care provider to purchase any
accessories not included with your system.
