ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto Machine (Card-to-cloud)
ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto Machine (Card-to-cloud)
The AirCurve 10 VAuto is an auto-bilevel machine, continuously adjusting inspiratory and expiratory pressure levels to adapt to your sleep needs. It is a bilevel machine, delivering one pressure for inhalation and one for exhalation while monitoring the length of the breaths and responding to alter the timing as needed to maintain the respiratory cycle. It offers dual pressure settings, humidification, data tracking, quiet operation, and user-friendly controls for enhanced comfort and effective treatment. It Is ideal for patients who struggle to comply with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.
*This Card-To-Cloud model comes with an SD Card for transferring data. This model does not include a cellular modem.
Features
Easy-Breathe Comfort Feature
The Easy-Breathe feature on the AirCurve 10 VAuto is designed to imitate a more natural breathing pattern. At the point of transition between the two pressures, a waveform of increasing and decreasing pressure is released to encourage a natural resting breath.
Built-In HumidAir Heated Humidifier
The fully integrated humidifier built-in to the machine supplies optional moisture and a warmer temperature throughout the hose to increase therapy comfort. The addition of the optional ClimateLineAir heated tube assists in maintaining the warm temperature throughout the hose to prevent rainout as the environmental temperature changes.
TiControl and Adjustable Rise Time
The TiControl feature on the AirCurve 10 VAuto machine monitors the pattern of inhalation and exhalation, comparing it against the TiMax and TiMin settings on the machine. Those with respiratory disorders such as COPD or obstructive lung disease may experience early or delayed changes from inspiration to expiration, referred to as cycling. The TiControl feature is designed to prevent cycling by setting a minimum and maximum time limit on inspiration. When the machine detects the user breathing which falls outside the machine settings, it will intervene to alter the timing of the delivered IPAP (inhalation) or EPAP (exhalation) pressure.
TiControl Settings
Ti Max: Maximum length of Inhalation
Ti Min: Minimum length of Inhalation
Trigger: Sensitivity level for inhalation trigger
Cycle: Sensitivity level for exhalation
Adjustable rise time is similar to TiControl. Both features support the user's ability to breathe at the appropriate time. Rise time is designed for this bilevel machine to increase the range of time from expiration to inspiration based on the set time requirement. Please Note: The rise time should not exceed the time set for inspiration due to a required higher pressure at inhalation.
*IMPORTANT FUNCTION NOTE: The AirCurve 10 VAuto machine does spontaneously regulate the breathing pattern to avoid cycling which results in inefficient breathing. This machine DOES NOT deliver a breath on a timed basis. This machine is NOT a BiLevel ST machine and DOES NOT have a backup rate setting.
LCD Display with My Options
The AirCurve™ 10 VAuto BiLevel has a color LCD display. The menus are designed to be easy to read and use. Select the menu item on the screen by turning the easy grip dial.
Enhanced Vsync Technology
If changes occur in mask pressure or the seal of the mask, Vsync technology is established to quickly detect the leak. Vsync leak management is developed by ResMed to track and control leakage and to relay accurate data in the instance that a leak arises. The goal is to provide the user with a factual estimation of airflow. Likewise, the differences in lung capacity can be determined by the Trigger and Cycle Sensitivity feature. The level selected reflects the respiratory effort of the user.
SmartStart / SmartStop
The intuitive AirCurve 10 VAuto SmartStart component automatically starts the device when the user breathes into the mask. The SmartStop component stops the device when the user removes the mask.
