Available features
The EcoStar Info device operates in continuous mode, i.e. the device delivers a constant pressure level. The
EcoStar Auto operates either in constant mode (CPAP) or in automatic mode (Auto-CPAP), i.e. the pressure
fluctuates between a minimum pressure and a maximum pressure as a function of respiratory events
detected.
Mask unplugged feature
If the patient removes his mask, the device automatically switches to low power. The machine will restore
normal power when the mask is reconnected or if one of the three buttons of the device is pressed.
Otherwise, the device will stop after 30 minutes.
Note:
If the patient uses a resistive interface (full face mask with anti-asphyxia valve), a specific calibration of the
pneumatic configuration must be carried out so that the device detects that the mask is unplugged.
Comfort Calibration
The Comfort Calibration(CC) feature is intended to increase the treatment pressure during inspiration and
to decrease it during expiration to make the patient's breathing more comfortable during the treatment. It
can be enabled continuously or during the ramp.
Auto ON feature
Functionality allowing to automatically start the treatment during the first breaths in the mask without
pressing the device button
. It can be enabled or disabled.
Time Ramp feature
The time ramp feature allows for a gradual rise in pressure to help the patient fall asleep. When it is
programmed (ramp time
0), it will be automatically enabled at the beginning of the session at comfort
pressure.
In CPAP mode, the treatment begins at a reduced pressure called comfort pressure, then the pressure
increases to treatment pressure.
In Auto-CPAP mode, the time ramp feature delays the commands to raise or lower the pressure. If the
comfort pressure is lower than the minimum pressure, the gradual rise in pressure will be made from the
comfort pressure to the minimum pressure during the latency time.
