1.1 General Information

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition that an intermitted and repetitive obstruction of the
upper respiratory tract causes a complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) block of breathing airflow
during sleep. The syndrome varies depending on the degree of relaxation of the tongue and soft
palate muscle.
The most common treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP devices
can deliver a constant air pressure into your upper airway via a nasal mask. This constant air
pressure can keep your airway open during sleep, therefore prevents the OSA.
This device is a micro-processor controlled continuous positive airway pressure device. It features
the illuminated, menu-driven LCD display, universal power supply, and ramp time adjustment. The
ramp time adjustment and ultra quiet operation ensure you to fall asleep comfortably while air
pressure slowly build up to treatment level. The user compliance meter records the total system's
operating time for physician's reference.
The system has been tested and successfully approved to the following standards:
IEC/EN 60601-1
IEC/EN 60601-1-2
IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Class A
