SOMNO
comfort
2e operates according to the principle of an electrically driven flow gen-
erator, with the pressure level being controlled electronically.
•
A fan draws in ambient air via a filter and conveys it to the unit outlet.
From here the air flows through the breathing hose and the mask to the
patient.
•
A pressure sensor measures the pressure at the unit outlet and shows this
in the display. The microprocessor-controlled flow generator controls the
pressure to the set value and reduces fluctuations in pressure caused by
breathing.
•
A softstart automatic system is installed to help the patient fall asleep
more easily. When the unit is switched on, the CPAP pressure starts at
the initial pressure selected by the doctor and is then slowly increased to
the setpoint pressure selected. The time of the pressure increase can be
adjusted between 5 and 30 minutes in 5-minute increments.
•
Automatic switch on/off can be activated on SOMNO
comfort
2e. The
unit can then be switched on by breathing into the mask. If there is no
pressure for approx. 15 seconds (e.g. because the mask has been re-
moved), SOMNO
comfort
2e will switch off automatically.
•
The therapy parameters are adjusted using the SOMNO
adjust
remote
control system or the WEINMANN
support
evaluation program.
•
SOMNO
comfort
2e automatically saves all settings in the event of a pow-
er failure. This means that the unit does not need to be reset when power
is restored.
