e BiPAP Auto M Series system offers several options in how therapy is delivered, so treatment
can be personalized to meet your needs. e system delivers two different positive pressure levels:
IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) and EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure). Your
home care provider will make the correct pressure settings.
When prescribed for you, the device provides several special features to help make your therapy
more comfortable. e ramp function allows you to lower the pressure when you are trying to fall
asleep. e air pressure will gradually increase until your prescription pressure is reached. You also
have the option of not using the ramp feature at all.
Additionally, the Bi-Flex comfort feature provides you with pressure relief when you exhale during
therapy.
Several accessories are also available for use with your device. Contact your home care provider to
purchase any accessories not included with your system.
e device, shown in Figure 1–2, supplies air pressure through a breathing circuit.
