Philips Respironics System One REMstar Auto CPAP with A-Flex & Full Mask - Barely Used
The machine is used majorly for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Here is a simple breakdown of what that means:
1. The Condition: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
OSA is a disorder where a person's breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep because the muscles in the back of the throat relax and cause the airway to narrow or temporarily collapse.
This blockage (obstruction) causes a person to stop breathing for a brief moment, which can happen dozens or even hundreds of times in a single night. This leads to poor sleep quality, loud snoring, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
2. The Treatment: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
The machine works by taking air from the room, pressurizing it, and delivering a continuous stream of positive air pressure through the attached tubing and mask.
This pressurized air acts like an "air splint" to gently push the airway open and prevent it from collapsing while the person sleeps.
The "Auto" feature (APAP) in your machine means it automatically adjusts the pressure level throughout the night, only delivering the minimum pressure needed to keep the airway open.
The "A-Flex" feature is a comfort setting that makes the pressure slightly lower when the user breathes out (exhales), making the therapy feel more natural and comfortable.
