Choose How Your Pressure is Distributed

Promoting a peaceful night of sleep, the device’s auto-titrating capabilities allow it to operate as a fixed pressure CPAP therapy system or as an automatically-adjusting one. While operating as a single pressure CPAP machine, your device will default to the pressure your doctor prescribed. Simultaneously, the auto-adjusting technology option achieves optimal pressure throughout the night on a breath-by-breath basis.

Ease Into CPAP Therapy with Pressure Variation Algorithm and 45-Minute Ramp

The device’s Pressure Variation Algorithm (PVA) helps decrease pressure at the start of exhalation. It features three levels that assist in dropping the pressure before returning to full pressure at inhalation. Should a sleep event occur in auto-adjusting mode, the pressure will increase to the necessary pressure and decrease to a lower setting when the sleep event concludes. To help you acclimate to the pressure as you fall asleep, the ramp feature slowly increases pressure over 45 minutes before reaching your prescribed pressure threshold.

Premium Data Offerings on Well-Lit Screen

Track prescribed treatment goals from your Apex CPAP machine's large LCD screen, where you can access compliance data like AHI, snore index, average pressure, average leak rate, average compliance hours per day, and total compliant hours. Advanced features, like leak alerts and automatic altitude adjustments, are also available. Therapy data can be viewed throughout 7, 30, or 90 days. From the included SD card, you can access up to 730 summary sessions and 18 detailed sessions. When the unit is in standby mode, the screen displays a clock that can be used as an alarm and is easily muted by pressing the power button.

Integrated Heated Humidifier Combats Adverse Side Effects

Air pressure received during sleep apnea therapy can cause headaches, nosebleeds, and sore throats-the iCH II offers integrated humidification for your therapy pressure that helps reduce these side effects. You have complete control over the moisture settings, ranging from one (lowest level of humidification) to six (highest level of humidification), and the option to disable humidification. The chamber is designed to hold ten ounces of water, providing eight hours of moisturized therapy pressure, and contains a mechanism that helps prevent backflow from entering the CPAP device.

Where is the iCH II Machine Filter Located?

To locate the filter, remove the humidifier chamber from the back of the machine. The spongy, reusable filter is found in the small, rectangle on the back of the machine. Apex Medical contributes a portion of the machine's quiet operation to the location of the filter. Please Note: The machine uses a washable foam filter only.

How to Care for the Filter?

Keep the reusable, foam filter clean by washing it once every two weeks. Hold the air filter under clear water. Do not use soap or any other cleaning solution. Then, gently squeeze the filter to remove excess water. Position the filter out of direct sunlight and allow to air dry completely before placing the air filter back into the machine.

iCH II Humidifier Tips

• Care Instructions: Clean the humidifier chamber by hand with warm, soap water. Do not place the chamber in the dishwasher.
• Light: The blue light found under the water chamber can be turned off by pressing the DOWN arrow button. Alternatively, press the UP arrow to turn on the light.
• Protect from Water Damage: To protect the iCH II Auto machine from water spilling from the chamber to the machine, always remove the humidifier chamber from the machine when preparing to move or lift the machine. The Anti Back Flow Humidifier Design is intended to guard against water entering the machine; however, it is best to remain cautious.
