A BiPAP machine is similar to a CPAP or APAP machine, but it has two distinct pressure settings - one for inhalation and one for exhalation. This setting allows for lower air pressures during exhalation. In some cases, a BiPAP is preferred for medical reasons and prescribed specifically by a sleep physician. However, a BiPAP can always be used in place of a CPAP or APAP as an “upgrade” due to the fact that most users find the two pressure settings to be a more comfortable breathing experience. Users who are prescribed a BiPAP for medical reasons are typically suffering from COPD, Pneumonia, Asthma, or mixed/complex sleep apnea.

CPAP, namely continuous positive airway pressure mode, is a non-invasive ventilator treatment mode. After the patient wears the ventilator during sleep, the breathing machine continuously delivers gas to the airway to form a gas stent to support the collapsed airway and ensure smooth breathing of the patient, so as to eliminate the effects of grunting and OSAHS.

There are many modes of home ventilator, including CPAP, APAP, BPAP, Auto BPAP, etc. So which mode is more suitable for snoring? In fact, most of the models can be used for the treatment of snoring, but from the mainstream, most people on the market are using CPAP and APAP models. So today we mainly talk about these two models.

Most CPAP devices cost between $600 - $2,000 depending on the device style and vendor. Our leading CPAP device is available offline between $880 - $1,000.

While cleaning devices are available and may help sanitize your CPAP equipment, the FDA currently recommends cleaning your CPAP equipment with mild soap and water.

CPAP machines are generally used for 3 - 5 years. Most manufacturers offer a 2 year warranty on their machines. However, in practice, CPAP machines are well built and will tend to last much longer than the 2 year warranty.

CPAP machines are designed to be used with only distilled water. If you are in a situation with no access to distilled water, you can use purified water, but preferably only once or twice. Ongoing use of purified water in a CPAP will cause buildup and impact the effectiveness of the device.

A true CPAP machine creates air pressure at a constant rate and, therefore, does not have to detect when your breathing changes. However, an APAP is much more sophisticated. An APAP is sensing your breathing patterns and will start adjusting after it senses that you have fallen asleep. Once you are asleep, the APAP will ramp up the pressure to ensure a clear airway for breathing.

The best way is continuous positive airway pressure treatment (CPAP) is simply to buy a home ventilator and wear it during sleep to solve snoring and eliminate its side effects.
Ventilator treatment is the main treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Continuous positive airway pressure can keep the upper airway smooth and prevent airway obstruction and collapse. It is also proved that most patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome can reduce the number of apnea after using the ventilator, reduce daytime sleepiness, improve systemic blood pressure and reduce the risk of death.

The user will have limited access to their settings, but will be able to adjust comfort features like Ramp Time, Humidity levels and Tube Temperature (with a heated tubing). The prescribed settings are hidden from the user, since it is recommended that you reach out to your doctor or Respiratory Therapist for any changes that need to be made to ensure that changes are safe and effective.
