Distinguishing the AirCurve 11 VAuto and AirCurve 11 ASV Bilevel PAP Devices

AirCurve 11 VAuto

The AirCurve 11 VAuto is expertly designed for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and those who may struggle with traditional OSA treatments. This bilevel PAP device enhances comfort and effectiveness by providing:

 

  • Variable Pressure Settings: Higher pressure during inhalation and lower pressure during exhalation, making breathing easier and therapy more comfortable.
  • Targeted OSA Therapy: Focuses on alleviating obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, helping patients maintain a steady breathing pattern throughout the night.

AirCurve 11 ASV

For patients with more complex sleep-disordered breathing, the AirCurve 11 ASV offers advanced, adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) technology. It is designed to treat a broader range of conditions, including:

 

  • Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Monitors and supports breathing for patients with reduced respiratory effort.
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Mixed Apneas: Delivers tailored therapy to manage both obstructive and central components.
  • Periodic Breathing Patterns: Automatically adapts to breathing irregularities with real-time adjustments throughout the night.

Key Difference

  • VAuto Model: Primarily addresses obstructive sleep apnea with set pressure adjustments for inhalation and exhalation, ideal for OSA patients.
  • ASV Model: Utilizes adaptive technology to continuously respond to complex breathing issues, making it suited for patients with CSA, mixed apneas, and periodic breathing.

FAQs

What is the ResMed AirCurve 11 ASV BiPAP with HumidAir?
The ResMed AirCurve 11 ASV is an advanced BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) device designed for patients with complex sleep apnea, including central sleep apnea and Cheyne-Stokes respiration. It features Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) technology that continuously adjusts air pressure based on your breathing patterns. The device also comes with HumidAir heated humidification to improve comfort by preventing dryness in the throat and nasal passages.
How does the AirCurve 11 ASV BiPAP with HumidAir work?
The AirCurve 11 ASV monitors your breathing throughout the night and adjusts the pressure automatically to ensure optimal airflow. It adapts to both central and obstructive apneas, adjusting inspiratory and expiratory pressure as needed. The HumidAir system provides heated humidification to reduce discomfort from dry air, while the ClimateLineAir heated tube ensures consistent temperature and humidity levels throughout the night.
What is Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV)?
Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) is a therapy mode used to treat patients with central sleep apnea and mixed sleep apnea. ASV continuously monitors the patient's breathing patterns and adjusts air pressure to correct irregular breathing. Unlike traditional BiPAP devices, ASV can adjust pressures based on detected apneas and hypopneas, providing the necessary support for optimal sleep quality.
Can the AirCurve 11 ASV be used for all types of sleep apnea?
The AirCurve 11 ASV is specifically designed for patients with central sleep apnea (CSA), Cheyne-Stokes respiration, and complex sleep apnea (a combination of central and obstructive apnea). If you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) only, a CPAP or standard BiPAP device might be more appropriate, but consult your healthcare provider for a recommendation tailored to your specific needs.
What is the HumidAir system and how does it help?
The HumidAir system is an integrated heated humidification feature designed to provide optimal comfort during therapy. It prevents dryness and irritation in the throat and nasal passages by adding moisture to the air delivered by the machine. Humidified air can help alleviate common discomforts like a dry mouth, sore throat, or nasal congestion.
Can I control the humidification level on the AirCurve 11 ASV?
Yes, the AirCurve 11 ASV allows you to adjust the humidity level according to your preferences. You can fine-tune the humidification settings using the machine’s intuitive touchscreen interface or the ResMed myAir app (when connected). The ClimateLineAir heated tube automatically adjusts the temperature of the humidified air for consistent comfort.
How does the AirCurve 11 ASV help with comfort during sleep?
The AirCurve 11 ASV is equipped with features that enhance comfort, including: AutoRamp™: Gradually increases pressure to a therapeutic level while you sleep, starting at a low pressure to help you fall asleep more easily. Easy-Breathe motor: Minimizes sound and vibrations to ensure a quiet and peaceful sleep. Heated humidification: The HumidAir system ensures that the air delivered is moist and comfortable, reducing dryness and irritation.
Is the AirCurve 11 ASV compatible with a CPAP mask?
Yes, the AirCurve 11 ASV is compatible with most CPAP and BiPAP masks, including nasal, full-face, and nasal pillow masks. However, to get the most effective results, it's best to use a mask that is designed to work well with your specific therapy needs and comfort preferences.
