The Sandman Series uses Covidien's unique Adaptive Pressure Stability (APS) technology that limits the peak to peak variations of CPAP pressure when a user breathes in and out. Adaptive Pressure Stability responds quickly and accurately to several common conditions that result in changes from your prescribed pressure down to each breath.
Common conditions affecting Pressure
- Switching Masks
- Mask leaks
- Altitude
- Natural respiratory effort
- Barometric pressure
- Sleep stage
- Body position
Unlike the Sandman Intro, the Info model allows the device to detect and record extensive user data. The Sandman Info records compliance data which allows a digital signal processor to work interactively with the user and provides accurate flow control. For advanced therapy effectiveness, use the Sandman Therapy Software to help visualize user sessions and take control of your sleep therapy.
The device is quiet, discreet and user-friendly. Small and light, traveling with the Sandman is convenient. Use either AC or DC power from an external battery source. If altitude is an issue, the Auto Altitude Compensation feature accounts for barometric changes.
Covidien also addresses the need for humidity, incorporating a built-in heated humidifier, together weighing only 2.75 pounds. The humidifier is located to the rear of the CPAP with a water chamber that is easy to clean. Using a new technology, “HumidControl”, the humidifier provides the best temperature according to the relative humidity outside the water chamber. This prevents water from collecting in the CPAP hose and keeps the humidification level constant throughout the night.
