This feature allows the pressure to be reduced by up to 3 units during exhalation, making therapy a bit more comfortable while reducing mask leaks.
On the DreamStation machines this is called C-Flex (on the CPAP and Pro models) and A-Flex (on the Auto model). First, I’ll briefly cover some of the other key features, and then go into detail about Bluetooth and DreamMapper. In this article I want to focus specifically on the Bluetooth feature and how it can be used with the Philips Respironics DreamMapper app for mobile devices. While there are some differences between the models, they all share some common features, like exhalation pressure relief, compliance reporting capability, auto on and auto off, heated tube compatibility, and Bluetooth. The CPAP and Pro models are fixed-pressure units, while the Auto model is an automatic CPAP which adjusts pressure automatically based on the needs of the user. The DreamStation CPAPs are available in three different models – CPAP, Pro, and Auto. To say the new DreamStation CPAP machines from Philips Respironics are full-featured is an understatement.
