Respironics
CPAP Equipment
Respironics
is a leading provider of innovative solutions for the global
sleep and respiratory markets. The Company’s success
spans more than three decades and can be traced to a history
deeply rooted in ingenuity and a passion to deliver solutions
to those in need. This tradition of innovation, combined with
an ability to anticipate market needs, is fundamental to the
Company. It has made Respironics a name
acknowledged worldwide as a pace-setter in
the sleep and respiratory markets. CPAP (Continuous
Positive Airway Pressure) is the base for the sleep and respiratory
division of Respironics. Through this division Respironics
has created many different styles and types of CPAP Masks
to delivery CPAP therapy in a comfortable method. The creation
of the Comfort series, i.e. Comfort Gel, Comfort Select, Comfort
Lite 2, and Comfort Classic, has allowed Respironics to maintain
patient loyalty through this affordable CPAP mask line. Most
of the CPAP Masks in the Comfort Series can be purchased for
under $100. In addition to the Comfort Series, Respironics
has created a line of CPAP Machines which has reduced the
overall size and weight of the CPAP machine by approximately
50%. The new RespironicsCPAP line is known as the M Series
and has been received with open arms by the CPAP community.
The base model of the Respironics line of CPAP Machines is
known as the Remstar Plus. The Remstar Plus is a basic CPAP
Machine without any “extras” designed for the
patient without any special needs. The Remstar Plus is available
with CFLEX or without, depending on patient comfort needs.
C-Flex is a revolutionary new technology in Respironics
REMstar® family of CPAP devices that provides a more
comfortable treatment for sleep apnea. It's an ideal first-line
treatment to ensure better Acceptance, Comfort and Results.
The difference is the C-Flex waveform: a better way to deliver
sleep therapy that takes the work out of exhalation. To do
this, C-Flex tracks – and reacts to – every breath
throughout the night. This gives the device the ability to
make breath-by-breath adjustments to ensure the optimal level
of pressure relief during exhalation to deliver more comfortable
therapy. Respironics also carries more sophisticated machines
know as APAP and BiPAP. Machines in these categories allow
for varying pressure and comfort features. Typically machines
in these two categories are suggested for patients who have
had difficulty in adjusting to standard CPAP therapy. Each
of the Respironics CPAP machines can be used with a humidification
device known as a humidifier. These devices can be Passover
humidifiers or heated humidifiers. A Passover humidifier is
a chamber of water which the CPAP machine circulates water
over. Through the evaporation process, moisture is added into
the CPAP circuit. Heated humidifiers gently heat the water
contained in the chamber. This process allows for a higher
evaporation level, which adds significantly higher level of
moisture to the CPAP circuit. Through their many
channels of distribution, Respironics has been very successful
in helping patients with all of their Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA) needs. Patients are able to purchase their CPAP Supplies
through internet sites for a fraction of the cost of local
homecare dealers. Respironics manufacturers’ items such
as: CPAP Headgear, CPAP Tubing, CPAP filters and miscellaneous
CPAP Supplies which enables patients to obtain replacement
parts and CPAP supplies with very little effort. The Respironics
Corporation has published a statement of social responsibility
which reads as follows: Respironics believes in supporting
the communities in which our associates live and work. By
participating in local charities—either through charitable
donations or active involvement—or in global relief
efforts, the Company seeks to engage in activities that contribute
to the overall health and well being of the communities that
we serve. The Respironics brand is know world wide and
is available various distribution channels. For more information
