TREND 300
is a respiration BILEVEL therapy unit for
treatment of nighttime sleep apnea. An air humidifier
can be obtained as an accessory.
For the pressure generation
TREND 300
has an
electronically controlled blower. In order to keep
the patient's burdening as low as possible the
turbine has been equipped with sufficient power
reserves as well as a fast control circuit.
The pressure control is applied directly in
the breathing-mask. So the breathing musculature
needs not balance out the flow losses of the
breathing air in tube and humidifier.
That means the breathing work is made as
easy as possible.
NOTE:
No negative pressure is been generated during
exspiration phase.
Trigger device
The respiratory trigger recognises the patients efforts to
breathe in and out and transmits them to a control
mechanism.
The trigger mechanism of the
TREND 300
has its own
microcontroller to optimise the release of the trigger by
dynamic adjustment of the release criteria to various
sleeping phases.
In conjunction with optimal flank adjustment the patient
experiences a pleasant ventilation which gives him or
her the impression that the unit pursues the natural
breathing mechanisms without any inertia.
TREND 300
has separate air ductings for breathing
air and convection air for the electronics.
The cold temperature technology applied in the power
electronics ensures a low temperature and a long life of
the device.
For the control of all functions
TREND 300
has a
built-in microcomputer. The integrated quartz
alarm clock increases the comfort during use
of the device.
The air heats up marginally on passing through the unit
and has a higher water uptake capacity. Particularly in
winter when the room air is dry the mucous membranes
in the mouth and nose can dry out. This is unpleasent
and in isolated cases also leads to infections. Air humi-
dification may therefore also be necessary in conjunction
with respiration therapy.
AquaTREND
accessory devices are available which
provide humidification. The humidifier simply clicks into
position and can be removed by pressing the release
button.
