The smallest HOFFRICHTER device with an elegant design and new technical refinements not only impresses with its fresh appearance, but mainly of its inner values. High power reserves, a newly redesigned FlexLine-Mode and the optimized one-click humidifier mechanics set new technical standards in this product class.
Within a certain pressure range the device automatically controls the therapy pressure depending on the occurrence of respiratory events. In sleep phases with no events the therapy pressure is lowered. Starting obstructive events are treated effectively with a slight pressure increase. For a high therapy comfort the therapy pressure should always be only as high as necessary and as low as possible. The device can recognize the following respiratory events:
- Obstructive apnea
- Hypopnea
- Central apnea
- Snoring
- Normal respiration
- Increased airway resistance
The identification of the different respiratory events is achieved via 3 channels:
- Measurement of any constriction of the respiratory tract
- Detection of flow limitations by measuring the flow
- Detection of snoring with the help of sound detection
The combined analysis of all results facilitates a very precise differentiation between obstructive and central events. The device adjusts the therapy pressure according to the detected events as described below:
- Increase of pressure for obstructive events
- Decrease of pressure for central events and normal respiration
In addition to normal APAP and CPAP mode the device offers the FLEXLINE mode, a pressure increase which is proportionate to the individual respiration flow during inspiration and a pressure decrease during expiration.
- 3 FLEX-Levels separately for in- and expiration
- Data management on SD-Card
- Remarkable low noise level
- Battery operation possible
- Tidal volume display
