The REMstar Auto M Series device delivers the following therapies:

CPAP
– Delivers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; CPAP maintains a constant level of

you, you can press the Ramp button to reduce the pressure and then gradually increase the
pressure to the therapeutic pressure setting so that you can fall asleep more comfortably.
•
CPAP with C-Flex
– Delivers CPAP therapy with pressure relief upon exhalation to improve
patient comfort based on patient needs.
•
Auto-CPAP
– Delivers CPAP therapy while automatically adjusting the pressure level to
meet the patient’s needs.
•
Auto-CPAP with C-Flex
– Auto-CPAP therapy with pressure relief upon exhalation to
improve patient comfort based on patient needs.
•
Auto-CPAP with A-Flex
