Philips Introduces BiPAP autoSV Advanced
PHILIPS INTRODUCES ADVANCED SYSTEM FOR MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF COMPLICATED SLEEP APNEA PATIENTS
January 6, 2010
Murrysville, Pa., USA - Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) today announced the introduction of BiPAP autoSV Advanced, its latest device for treating complicated sleep-disordered breathing patients. The enhanced system combines clinically-proven technologies in one compact device to more effectively manage and treat the most challenging sleep apnea cases. These range from complex sleep apnea, which occurs when patients being treated for Obstructive Sleep Apnea develop Central Sleep Apnea when Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is administered, to Cheyne-Stokes Respiration, a periodic breathing disorder.
When Respironics released the first bi-level positive airway pressure device in the late 1980s, it made a significant clinical impact for treating sleep apnea, a role it continues today. BiPAP autoSV Advanced is Philips Respironics next generation servo ventilation (SV) device, updated to make patient management nearly automatic and optimize therapy for complicated patients. It has the unique ability to manage the airway and assure proper ventilation by continually monitoring and adjusting to patients’ changing therapy needs.
A major advancement in BiPAP autoSV Advanced is an auto adjusting EPAP, utilizing at its core the clinically proven REMstar Auto titration algorithm.1, 2 With this addition, BiPAP autoSV Advanced enhances treatment by automatically distinguishing between obstructed and clear airway apneas and adapting pressure to patients’ needs as their conditions change due to weight, alcohol use, or lifestyle. The automatic adjustment of EPAP simplifies titration and achieves efficacy at the minimum pressure levels. In addition, BiPAP autoSV Advanced adds the proven Bi-Flex technology3 which assures patient comfort by providing pressure relief during exhalation and at critical transition points.
“Unlike standard CPAP and bi-level therapies, this highly developed system is specifically designed to take on challenges of managing complicated sleep apnea cases,” says Eli Diacopoulos, Director, Global Product Marketing, Sleep Therapy, for Philips Home Healthcare Solutions. “Combining our core technologies into one unit furthers our efforts to make the complex simpler to manage and assure the very best treatment possible for these patients.”
Respironics advanced technologies, such as Digital Auto-Trak, match flow to the patient’s own breathing. The clinically proven SV algorithm4 monitors peak flow and can rapidly normalize breathing patterns of patients with complex sleep apnea conditions with breath-to-breath adjustments of pressure support. In the presence of central apneas, when care must be taken not to over- or under-ventilate a patient, the delivery of automatically calculated back-up breaths encourages spontaneous breathing at the patient’s own natural rate.
BiPAP autoSV Advanced also offers integrated heated humidification and built-in digital data storage. The Encore patient management system automatically collects vital patient information and enables the entire care team to continuously monitor and track treatment progress and transfer new or updated prescriptions.
