Philips Respironics has pushed the design of their wildly successful DreamStation platform to a new level with the release of the DreamStation 2. Continuing on with all of the full-fledged feature set of the original DreamStation, the DS2 now adds fully integrated humidification into a compact, lightweight package that can serve dual duty as a travel machine as well as a home based unit. The DS2 has a sleek matte black housing that blends in on a nighstand with your clock radio, and it has all the functionality and information you need available at your fingertips with the full color touch screen graphical interface. Like the original Dreamstation, you also get host of advanced comfort and compliance features including A-Flex, EZ-Start, Ramp Plus, OptiStart, built-in Bluetooth, and event detection and response.
Sleek, Modern Design with Fully Integrated Heated Humidifier: The sleek, simple shape, full color touch display and full feature set are a welcome change for sleep therapy patients used to bulkier, heavier, less attractive machine options. The new DreamStation 2 is 29% smaller and 32% lighter than the original DreamStation, making it a viable option as a travel machine.
Opti-Start: The Opti-Start Features starts your pressure therapy at 90% of the pressure reached in the previous session to help address any events that may occur early in your sleep therapy. This feature can be enabled or disabled per the user's preference.
Fully Integrated Heated Humidifier Adaptive Mode: The DreamStation 2's fully integrated heated humidifier attaches directly to the CPAP unit and utilizes DryBox Technology, which helps to prevent water from exiting the humidifier and entering the machine in the event that the machine is moved or jostled with water in the chamber. Adaptive mode monitors ambient humidity and temperature in the room, and automatically adjusts heat levels during the night to provide optimum humidity . Both the humidifier and 12 mm ultra slim heated tube have heat settings of 0 to 5.
Mask Fit Check: This feature allows the user to check for mask leaks by applying pressure to the mask and illuminating an icon on the machine to tell them if an adequate mask seal has been achieved.
Ramp Plus: Great for those that are uncomfortable falling asleep to higher pressures, Ramp Plus allows control over the ramp pressure. If the event requires a pressure higher than the current ramp pressure, but lower than the prescribed pressure, it will increase to that pressure and maintain that pressure until ramp time is completed, or until an event occurs requiring a higher pressure. When the ramp time has been reached the machine will increase to the prescribed pressure or to the minimum pressure range if the machine is in auto-adjusting mode.
Advanced Data with BlueTooth and DreamMapper: The CPAP machine captures and displays advanced data such as AHI, Periodic Breathing, Leak Rate, 90th Percent Pressure (the pressure the machine was at or below 90% of the time), and Therapy Hours. Built-in BlueTooth connectivity allows the user to upload this data to their mobile device, where they can track this data and access motivational alerts, troubleshooting advice, and educational content via the DreamMapper App. DreamMapper is a free app that is available on compatible iOS (iOS 6 or newer) and Android devices (2.2 or newer) and can be downloaded in the iTunes App Store or the Google Play Store.
Advanced Auto Adjusting Algorithm: The DreamStation 2 uses the same trustworthy auto-adjusting algorithm that was employed by the DreamStation platform. This feature monitors the user's breathing breath-by-breath for apnea events and flow limitations and adapts to them, automatically adjusting therapy throughout the night to ensure that optimum pressure is provided for effective resolution of apnea and a restful night's sleep.
