Who Is The Resvent iBreeze Right For?
An Auto CPAP machine actually refers to auto-titrating, making the Resvent iBreeze an APAP machine; not a CPAP machine! APAP stands for "automatic positive airway pressure," which means that it can adjust your pressure settings on its own.
Patients who use APAP instead of CPAP are often in need of a range of pressure settings to combat their obstructive sleep apnea (OSA;) not just the one or two fixed pressure settings either a CPAP or APAP can offer. For example, if you experience chronic allergies, nasal congestion, frequent fluctuations in weight, or are an active sleeper, APAP may be right for you.
Resvent iBreeze APAP Features
Designed for maximum comfort and user-friendliness, the Resvent iBreeze APAP machine comes with a ton of awesome features, promoting both maximum comfort and user-friendliness:
Maximum Comfort
- iBreeze’s unique Intelligent Pressure Release (IPR) algorithm manages the pressure during inhalation and exhalation. That means it helps you find a better night’s sleep based on your own breathing pattern. Folks receive a more comfortable experience with an autoset pressure like this than a single, constant pressure setting. Plus, there are three IPR grades, so you can personalize the pressure range.
- The automatic, heated humidifier is a must! During sleep apnea treatment, water condensation could build up in the breathing circuit. This would affect your therapy and could even threaten your safety. To solve that issue, Resvent created a unique, intelligent humidification process that can detect and regulate your humidity in order to avoid condensation in the CPAP tubing or mask.
- The integrated humidifier and water tank’s 2-in-1 design is for your comfort too. Dry airways can be an uncomfortable bummer to wake up to, but now iBreeze manages it easily! You’ll never deal with dry mouth because of CPAP again, because the aforementioned intelligent humidifier system continuously monitors your water level. In fact, it will stop heating and give a visible alert when the water level is low, signaling you to add water.
- iBreeze has Smart Ramp settings that let your sleep apnea therapy start from a low and pleasant pressure level. After a bit of ramp time, the air pressure is gradually raised to the correct level. This is a big deal if falling asleep with the new headgear is a problem for you. Users can more easily fall asleep without even noticing the incremental increase!
User-Friendly
- The LCD screen is easy to navigate and has all kinds of information to show you how your sleep is going and makes iBreeze more convenient than an app. We already talked about how some CPAP machines have a smartphone app you need to download in order to see your compliance stats. The unit itself also offers updates right on this screen, so it’s easy to get pertinent information on the fly.
- iBreeze has a smartphone app too though, called iMatrix, for in-depth sleep data and pattern monitoring. Both the app and LCD screen share 3 alerts and several reminders with you in the iBreeze data storage. Alerts include Apnea, High Leakage, and Mask Holes Blocked. These are very handy, especially for new CPAP users, so let’s break each alert down!
- Apnea Alerts tell you when CPAP therapy failed. Your machine is meant to combat sleep apnea symptoms, but like all technology, it can fail. iBreeze notifies you if this is the case, because it identifies if your AHI rises or you stop breathing altogether. The safety in this feature is truly life-saving.
- High Leakage Alerts detect CPAP supply leaks. If you have a poor mask fit due to a broken seal, have a hole in your CPAP tubing, or have another cracked or broken part, iBreeze has sensors that spot these issues. Better still, iBreeze provides you with leakage compensation. That Smart Ramp setting will bump your air pressure up a notch to literally compensate for the leak.
- Mask Holes Blocked is another self-explanatory alert, acknowledging when you may have difficulty breathing due to a blockage in or around your CPAP mask. This can happen if you roll onto your stomach and have your face buried in a pillow or partner. Talk about a pretty incredible technology!
Which CPAP mask should I use with the Resvent iBreeze?
Great question! It’s also a very personal one, because CPAP mask preference is a whole thing. We've got your back, though! Aeroflow Sleep will help you decide whether you side with a full-face mask, nasal mask, or nasal pillows mask based on your needs and preferences. And don’t worry; a CPAP mask doesn’t differentiate between APAP and CPAP like machines do. Plus, the Resvent iBreeze is compatible with other CPAP manufacturers’ masks like ResMed. Speaking of…
Resvent iBreeze Auto CPAP Machine vs ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP Machine
We took a look at the ResMed AirSense 10 CPAP machine and compared it with the Resvent iBreeze. Here's a list of 6 major differences that cropped up:
- While the Resvent iBreeze is not as customizable, it is quieter.
- Both have an app (but only one is approved in the United States) and another source of data management presentation.
- Both come with a power supply kit, user manual, and carry bag.
- The ResMed AirSense 10 has a heated hose option and includes automatic altitude adjustment.
- Neither are travel CPAPs.
