The ResMed AirCurve™ 10 ST-A offers effective non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for patients dealing with respiratory insufficiency due to conditions such as neuromuscular disease (NMD), restrictive lung disorders, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and hypoventilation syndromes. Here are the key features of the AirCurve 10 ST-A:

1. User-Friendly Controls: The device is equipped with intuitive controls for easy operation.
2. Intelligent Interface: Its color LCD screen displays essential information, including oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels and respiratory rate (RR) even before therapy begins.
3. Personalization: You can customize settings based on your specific needs.

The AirCurve 10 ST-A incorporates the iVAPS mode, an intelligent feature that dynamically responds to a patient’s evolving breathing requirements. Here are the key points about iVAPS:

1. Adaptive Ventilation: iVAPS tailors therapy to each patient’s unique needs. It focuses on maintaining the target minute ventilation and improving blood gas levels.
2. Changing Respiratory Rate (RR): Even if a patient’s respiratory rate fluctuates during the night, iVAPS automatically adjusts to ensure optimal support.
3. Clinical Evidence: The efficacy and tolerability of iVAPS have been demonstrated across various patient groups, including those with hypercapnic COPD and neuromuscular disorders (NMD).
4. Intelligent Backup: The iBR feature provides backup breaths only when necessary, allowing maximum opportunities for spontaneous breathing.
