Description Key Features Dual-Pressure Therapy (BiPAP): IPAP (Inspiratory Pressure): Supports inhalation with higher pressure (4–25 cm H₂O). EPAP (Expiratory Pressure): Reduces pressure during exhalation (4–20 cm H₂O) for comfort. Pressure Support (PS): Adjustable difference between IPAP and EPAP (0–20 cm H₂O) to assist weak respiratory muscles. Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) Mode: Spontaneous Mode: Delivers pressure support when the patient initiates a breath. Timed Mode: Ensures a minimum respiratory rate for patients with irregular breathing (e.g., CSA or neuromuscular disorders). Backup Respiratory Rate: Critical for patients with central sleep apnea (CSA) or mixed apnea, ensuring consistent breathing if pauses occur. Integrated HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier: Prevents dryness with adjustable humidity and Climate Control to avoid condensation in tubing. Advanced Data Tracking: Syncs with ResMed myAir™ (patient app) and AirView™ (clinician portal) for detailed reports on AHI, leaks, and compliance. Easy-Breathe Motor: Whisper-quiet operation (<27 dBA) for uninterrupted sleep. User-Friendly Interface: Color LCD screen with intuitive menus and SD card slot for data storage. Technical Specifications Parameter Specification Pressure Range IPAP 4–25 cm H₂O EPAP 4–20 cm H₂O Pressure Support (PS) 0–20 cm H₂O Respiratory Rate (Backup) 5–30 breaths per minute (adjustable) Humidifier Capacity 380 ML Dimensions 5.4” x 10” x 6.3” Weight 3.1 lbs (with humidifier) Power Universal 90–240V adapter; compatible with external batteries (12V DC) Who Benefits Most? Central Sleep Apnea (CSA): Backup rate ensures breathing continuity. Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Patients needing higher pressure support. COPD/Neuromuscular Disorders: Dual-pressure aids weakened respiratory muscles. Complex Sleep Apnea: Combines OSA and CSA. Hypoventilation Syndromes: Supports patients with insufficient breathing. Maintenance & Care Daily: Rinse humidifier chamber with distilled water. Weekly: Wash tubing/mask; replace disposable filters. ResMed Lumis 150 VPAP ST is a high-performance BiPAP machine tailored for patients with complex respiratory needs, including central sleep apnea, hypoventilation, or neuromuscular disorders. Its S/T mode and adjustable backup rate make it a versatile choice for severe cases. Its advanced features are indispensable for patients requiring precise ventilation support. Always consult a sleep specialist to confirm it aligns with your treatment plan.
