The Philips-Respironics "System One" REMstar Auto with A-FLEX takes a smarter approach to the entire sleep management process. New features such as resistance control, advanced event detection and response, upgraded data management and reporting, and A-FLEX put this CPAP machine on the cutting edge. A-Flex is designed to work with Respironics' clinically proven auto CPAP algorithm to improve comfort even more by matching pressure delivery to the patient's entire breathing cycle. Like C-Flex, A-Flex provides flow-based pressure relief at the beginning of exhalation. Like Bi-Flex, A-Flex softens the pressure transition from inhalation to exhalation to provide additional comfort in an auto-CPAP mode. The pressure profile mirrors the patient's breathing, and with the auto algorithm intelligence, it will respond to the patient's therapeutic need throughout the sleep session.

The System One resistance control allows the patient to tell the machine what type of mask you are using such as a nasal, full face, or nasal pillow. The machine then makes adjustments for optimal flow depending on your mask. Each Respironics mask will now come with a resistance control setting letting you know how to set your machine to match your mask. Philips-Respironics has upgraded their event detection algorithm to include data on Snoring, Periodic Breathing (PB), Respiratory Effort-Related Arousals (RERAs), Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), leak, Clear Airway Apnea (CA), Obstructed Airway Apnea (OA), Flow Limitation (FL), and Hypopnea (HY).

The REMstar Auto will also record Patterns of use and Flow waveform data. With this information, your physician will be able to better determine the best possible solutions for your sleep therapy. In addition to detecting the above events, the REMstar Pro will respond to FL, RERA, Snore, leak, OA, and HY. If the REMstar Pro detects that any of these events are about to occur, it will adjust pressure accordingly to compensate for the event. The PR System One uses a SD card for data collection. Prior to the System One, patients were required to use a specialized card reader when uploading sleep data to a computer. Philips-Respironics has made this process easier by using the standard SD card, giving the patient the ability to use any SD reader to upload sleep data.
