CPAP System Treats Sleep Apnea

With less discomfort, the patient is more likely to comply with the treatment schedule. The new system also gives health-care providers the option to transition patients from no humidification to room-temperature humidification or to heated humidification—all with the same device.

Remstar Plus is the product of Respironics, Inc. (Pittsburgh, PA, USA; www.respironics.com). "It is a fact that when a sleep patient using CPAP experiences discomfort from dry nasal passages, that patient is less likely to comply with the prescribed treatment schedule,” noted James W. Liken, president and CEO of Respironics. "Respironics addresses this problem by applying its technical expertise to the issues surrounding humidification; with proper humification, compliance naturally follows.”
