ResMed AirCurve11 VAuto
Auto Adjusting Bi-Level
Resmed AirCurve10 ST-A
The ResMed AirCurve 10 ST-A is a non-invasive ventilation (NIV) device designed for patients with respiratory insufficiency, including COPD, neuromuscular disease, restrictive lung disorders, hypoventilation syndromes, and OSA. It is intended for both home and hospital use.
Key Highlights
- iVAPS™ maintains target alveolar ventilation as breathing needs change
- Intelligent Backup Rate provides backup breaths while encouraging spontaneous breathing
- ST mode with timed backup rate
- TiControl™ and adjustable trigger and cycle sensitivity
- Fixed and adjustable audio and visual alarms
- Integrated HumidAir™ heated humidifier
Therapy and clinical features
iVAPS™ (intelligent Volume-Assured Pressure Support) — Automatically adjusts pressure support to maintain a target alveolar ventilation as the patient's breathing needs change. Unlike a simple tidal-volume target, iVAPS accounts for estimated anatomical dead space.
iBR (Intelligent Backup Rate) — Works with iVAPS to provide backup breaths when needed while maximizing the patient's opportunity to breathe spontaneously.
ST mode with backup rate — Provides bilevel pressure support with a timed backup rate for patients who may not reliably initiate every breath.
TiControl™ — Allows clinicians to establish minimum and maximum inspiratory times, helping optimize patient-device synchrony and manage patients at risk for premature cycling or air trapping.
Adjustable trigger and cycle sensitivity — Allows therapy to be tailored to the patient's inspiratory effort and breathing characteristics.
VSync leak management — Compensates for unintentional mask leak to help maintain pressure delivery and synchrony.
Fixed and adjustable alarms — Audio and visual alarms provide additional safety compared with the standard AirCurve 10 ST.
Ramp Down — Gradually reduces pressure support to provide a smoother transition from assisted ventilation to spontaneous breathing.
