ResMed AirCurve10 CS-A Pacewave with ASV, ASVAuto = adaptive servo-ventilation, AutoEPAP, CPAP, ASV, ASVAuto modes (use as prescribed by a physician) (#1235635)

ResMed ASV therapy device for patients requiring high pressures:
AirCurve 10 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, PS 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 obstructions.

• 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 one breath to the next.
• Automatic increase in pressure support (PS) when target ventilation is not achieved.
• Automatic reduction in pressure support (PS) when target ventilation is achieved after spontaneous breathing resumes.
• PaceWave continuously measures the patient’s respiratory rate, synchronizes with their breaths, and provides breathing support as soon as their own respiratory effort decreases.

The benefits of the ResMed AirCurve 10 CS-A

Advanced proximity to the patient

• The optional wireless technology integrated into the AirCurve 10 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 through the device status and settings and to answer many therapy-related questions in the shortest possible time.

Maximum comfort

• By continuously analyzing the respiratory flow curve using 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 obstructions

• AirCurve 10 CS-A PaceWave offers two different modes of adaptive servo-ventilation:
• ASV mode – The end-expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) is set to a fixed level and can be adjusted manually.
• ASVAuto mode – EPAP is adjusted automatically to provide no more pressure than is required to open the airways.

Clear insights into therapy

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

Safety alarms

• Fixed and adjustable alarms can be set for high leaks, 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 is familiar with the problem:
• A patient with obstructive sleep apnea is titrated 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 subside, but the obstructive apneas remain untreated – this phenomenon is known and described as complex sleep apnea.

Clinical algorithm for the use of ASV therapy

• Treatment guideline confirmed by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) for central sleep-related breathing disorders:
