Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Q: What is Philips Dreamstation Auto BiPAP?

A: DreamStation BiPAP auto BiPAP delivers optimal ventilation with minimal intervention for patients with central, complex, and periodic breathing problems.

Q: How does Philips Dreamstation Auto BiPAP work?

A: The Philips DreamStation Auto BiPAP delivers a continuous flow of pressurized air to the user’s airway to prevent or alleviate sleep-related breathing disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here’s how it works:

The DreamStation Auto BiPAP draws in room air through an integrated filter. The air is then filtered to remove dust and other particles to ensure clean; breathable air is delivered to the user. Before using the device, a healthcare provider sets the initial pressure settings based on the user’s specific needs. These settings are determined through a sleep study or assessment to determine the air pressure required to keep the user’s airway open during sleep. The DreamStation Auto BiPAP has algorithms that continuously monitor the user’s breathing patterns throughout the night. Suppose the device detects any obstruction in the airway, such as a reduction in airflow or a pause in breathing (apnea). In that case, it will automatically adjust the air pressure to a higher level to help keep the airway open. The device records the user’s therapy data, including the pressure levels, breathing events, and usage hours. This data can be accessed by both the user and their healthcare provider to assess the effectiveness of the therapy and make any necessary adjustments.
