ResMed AirCurve11 CS-A Pacewave with ASV, ASVAuto = adaptive servo-ventilation, AutoEPAP, CPAP, ASV, ASVAuto modes (use as prescribed by a physician)

ResMed ASV therapy device for patients requiring high pressures:
AirCurve 11 CS-A PaceWave (optional accessory: humidifier, item RES-37300)

• Modes = CPAP, ASV, ASVAuto
• Operating pressure range = 4–20 hPa (CPAP mode), 4–30 hPa (ASV and ASVAuto modes)
• Ranges: EPAP 4–15 hPa, pressure support 0–20 hPa

With this new medical device for the AirSolutions system solution, ResMed offers an even more powerful ASV therapy device. It is intended to stabilize breathing in patients with central sleep apnea (CSA), mixed sleep apnea, and periodic breathing, with or without upper-airway obstruction.

• PaceWave (ASV) therapy with pressures of up to 30 hPa
• To date, PaceWave is the only ASV algorithm that takes the patient’s current minute ventilation into account.
• PaceWave learns, calculates, responds, and optimizes from breath to breath.
• Automatic increase in pressure support when target ventilation is not achieved.
• Automatic reduction in pressure support when target ventilation is achieved after spontaneous breathing resumes.
• PaceWave continuously measures the patient’s respiratory rate, synchronizes with their breaths, and provides respiratory support as soon as their own breathing effort decreases.

The benefits of the ResMed AirCurve 11 CS-A

Advanced proximity to the patient

• The integrated, optionally usable wireless technology in the AirCurve 11 CS-A PaceWave provides information via AirView about therapy adherence, including usage duration, sleep quality, and the course of the night.
• In addition, AirView can be used to resolve technical issues remotely via the device status and settings, and to answer many therapy-related questions in a very short time.

Maximum comfort

• By continuously analyzing the respiratory flow curve at predefined measurement points, the PaceWave algorithm ensures optimal synchronization to match each patient’s natural breathing.
• The new HumidAir™ humidifier with Climate Control technology ensures consistent humidification throughout the night while being exceptionally easy to use and clean.

Optimal response to upper-airway obstruction

• AirCurve 11 CS-A PaceWave offers two different modes of adaptive servo-ventilation:
• ASV mode – The end-expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) is set at a fixed level and can be adjusted manually.
• ASVAuto mode – EPAP is adjusted automatically to deliver no more pressure than necessary to keep the airways open.

Clear insights into therapy

• Therapy overview data (365 days) can be viewed in ResScan™, EasyCare Tx, or wirelessly with AirView.
• AirView also provides 30 days of detailed data; ResScan additionally provides high-resolution data for precise therapy monitoring.

Alarms for safety

• Fixed and adjustable alarms can be set for high leak, low minute ventilation, non-vented masks, and low SpO2 (when an oximeter is connected).

PaceWave as a solution for central sleep apnea occurring as a consequence of therapy

• Everyone in a sleep laboratory knows the problem:
• A patient with obstructive sleep apnea is adjusted to the required CPAP pressure. After several pressure increases, the obstructive apneas decrease, but central apneas develop.
• If the therapy pressure is reduced again, the central apneas decrease, but the obstructive apneas remain untreated—the phenomenon is known and described as complex sleep apnea.
