What is EPR (expiratory pressure relief)?

It is the most advanced compliance booster available for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. EPR provides your patients the highest level of comfort without compromising the effectiveness of therapy.

Why use EPR?

Some patients find it difficult to breathe against the continuous pressure of CPAP therapy. EPR solves this problem by dropping pressure during exhalation, making the patient feel that their exhalation is more natural and comfortable.

How does EPR work?

When the patient exhales, the S8 flow generator detects the beginning of exhalation and reduces motor speed to drop pressure. The patient or clinician chooses one of three comfort levels to determine the degree by which pressure will drop:

Setting 1 – mild comfort (1 cm H2O)
Setting 2 – medium comfort (2 cm H2O)
Setting 3 – maximum comfort (3 cm H2O)

Optional integrated humidification

A unique dual-spiral action enables the HumidAire 3i™ to efficiently humidify the air delivered to the patient™s airway during CPAP therapy. The humidifier's stylish, compact design integrates seamlessly into one device when combined with the S8 AutoSet Vantage.

The AutoSet Advantage

Not all APAP devices deliver similar outcomes. The AutoSet™; technology tailors therapy to a patient's needs, breath-by-breath, night-by-night, and year-by-year even as their therapy requirements change.
