What is best cpap machine
ResMed AirSense 10 Auto Vs. Philips Respironics DreamStation Auto CPAP Machine
welcome everybody my name is Jose I am a
respiratory therapist at the CPAP shop
that coming today we're going to compare
the philips respironics
drink station Auto Papp and the rest Med
air since 10 Auto set machine a couple
of similarities they are both capable of
being programmed on auto path mode
that's where there's a range of
pressures and the machine at any given
moment will determine the least amount
of pressure needed to keep your airway
open they can both also be programmed to
CPAP old that's when your doctor
prescribes one fixed setting and that's
what he finds is the least amount of
pressure needed to keep your airway open
other similarities is well they both
have filters the drink station comes
with two that's the reusable that's the
disposable you have to keep clean wash
it periodically I would recommend once a
week
sober water is good enough main thing is
make sure it's fully dry before you
reinsert it the rest med is right here
and that's disposable so check up on it
at least once a week
so that's where the SD card goes
and Respironics SD card is right here
humidity the rest med has a built-in
humidifier here's the water chamber
simply squeeze and pull out and you open
up to keep it clean distilled water is
what you need for this for the dream
station it's an option and here it is
that's your water chamber take it out
clean it you will line it snaps right in
push this button you can disconnect it
let's talk tubing standard 2d means both
ends are identical so what matter where
it goes so ResMed makes their own and it
goes right to the back this could fit
here as well but respironics also makes
their own standard tubing again both
ends are identical they can go to the
water chamber to the humidifier or
directly to the machine they both have
the option of using either tubing now
even tubing is specific to the maker and
model so this is the Respironics
you can connect it right here and
squeeze right to the humidifier
and it can also be connected directly to
the machine you wouldn't really use the
heated tubing feature if you're
bypassing the humidifier but if this is
all you have at least you know you can
still use it the rest meant specific
only to the air since 10 clicks swivels
and again the ends are slightly
different this would go to your mask if
you decided to not use humidity options
a couple of other similarities is that
that display is right on the front here
the displace do dim down they will not
stay lit throughout the night you're
trying to go to sleep you don't need
extra light they both have apps
available so you can monitor track your
sleeping so they're both very similar in
that respect the power quartz they're
both dual voltage so if you travel
you're all set up you just need to buy
the plugs and they do both have the
brick that you need it's just an
inverter for power differences between
here and other countries I'm going to
program both machines to CPAP of 10 and
I'm going to put them on EPR and flex of
three that's a feature that allows the
pressure to back off when you exhale
we're going to test the machines to hear
what they sound like with the mask being
used and without it okay so both
machines are set to see type of 10 with
EPR or flex set at 3 I'm going to use
the same tubing and I'm going to use
this mask
I have always say and I mean
in this masochist that's what I use at
home their nasal pillows and let's turn
okay so I'm going to switch over to the
Respironics dream station and let's try
this
okay so the rest meant was choir and
what I found from patients is that some
patients like the sound that the
Respironics makes it's almost like a
white noise that they feel they need to
have obviously it's up to you to
determine what is best for you that
white noise or just having it be quieter
so again this is just to educate and
have you make a more informed decision I
hope this really does help you if you
have any questions please reach out to
us at contact and the CPAP shop comm
thank you
