The Philips Respironics DreamStation Auto is an auto-adjusting CPAP machine that increases or decreases the pressure delivered based on your specific needs during the night. The heated humidifier for the DreamStation Auto will prevent dryness and irritation that can be associated when the user does not have humidification.

Auto CPAP machines are increasingly being prescribed for sleep apnea sufferers for multiple reasons; here are a few benefits to consider for purchasing an auto-adjusting model.

• Different sleep positions (i.e. supine) may be more severe and require a higher pressure. The machine will detect this and deliver the pressure you need to keep your airway open.
• Changes in weight can determine how much pressure you need. If you are on a fixed pressure (standard CPAP) it will only deliver one set pressure and not adjust to your body needs.
• Alcohol and medications may affect how much your muscles relax, especially your throat and airway. On nights where you are taking medication or have had alcohol, you may need more or less pressure.

Special Features

• Heated Humidifier: The Heated Humidifier connects directly to the machine and features dry box technology to help reduce the chance of water entering the machine from the humidifier. The humidifier can be set in a standard heating mode which provides constant heat levels throughout the night, with both the humidifier and heated tube having heat settings of 0 to 5 with 0 being off and 5 being the highest heat. Adaptive mode is also available which monitors ambient humidity and automatically adjusts heat levels during the night to provide optimum humidity. Preheat will heat the humidifier up to 30 minutes before starting therapy. Fixed Mode allows you to apply constant heat on the humidifier heated plate rather than adapt to the surroundings.
• Optional Heated Tube: The DreamStation Heated Tube DOES NOT come with this unit however, can be added to further increase therapy comfort by helping maintain heat and moisture. No more Rainout, The Heated Tube maintains the temperature of the air delivered to the patient. Preventing Rainout, even if the temperature in the room drops during the night. If the humidifier is not being used, the heated tube can be connected directly to the machine, though will not heat.

DreamStation Auto tracks, and adjusts therapy levels to respond to, many common OSA related events including Hypopneas, Flow Limitation, Respiratory Effort Related Arousal, Snores, and Leaks.
