The REMstar Plus M Series device, shown in Figure 1–2, is a sleep apnea system that
delivers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP maintains a constant level of
pressure throughout the breathing cycle.
When prescribed for you, the device provides several special features to help make your therapy
more comfortable. The ramp function allows you to lower the pressure when you are trying to fall
asleep. The air pressure will gradually increase until your prescription pressure is reached. You also
have the option of not using the ramp feature at all.
Additionally, the C-Flex comfort feature provides you with pressure relief during the expiratory
phase of breathing.
Several accessories are also available for use with your REMstar Plus M Series device. Contact
your home care provider to purchase any accessories not included with your system.
