SleepRes V-Com Inspiratory Comfort for PAP Therapy

Make your CPAP more comfortable!

V-Com provides comfort on inhalation for patients using CPAP and APAP and bi-level PAP therapy. The high flows and pressures of CPAP that are difficult to tolerate, are softened with V̇-Com™. It’s designed and engineered to soften inspiratory flow while not affecting your therapy. Together, V̇-Com™ and CPAP offer you a superior experience and the full benefits of CPAP. 

Additional Benefits:

• Reduces CPAP noise
• Reduces leaks
• Eliminates the need for a chinstrap

Directions for Use:

• Before you begin, confirm  your PAP device is turned off.
• Remove the V̇-Com™ device from the package and attach it to the hose between your PAP device and the mask.
• Verify all fittings are secure before turning on your PAP device.
• Put your mask in place, turn on your machine, lay down, and get a good night’s sleep.
• Clean your V̇-Com™ device after each use or each 24-hour period per the instructions below.
• If you want to use V̇-Com™ long term, it should be replaced every 3 months (similar to hoses, masks, etc.).

Cleaning Instructions:

• Wash with soap (e.g., liquid dish soap) and water, inserting a small, bristled brush in both ends of the V-Com device to penetrate and clean the complete airflow path.
• Twist the brush several times.
• Rinse with clean water and let air dry.
• Inspect for any damage or residue - if seen, reclean or replace

Warnings:

Do not place the V̇-Com™ device in an active breathing circuit as this could possibly affect algorithms for auto-titration and respiratory event detection. Always turn PAP device off first, place V̇-Com™ device in the breathing circuit, and then turn PAP device back on.

V̇-Com™ affects inspiratory PAP more than expiratory PAP which may decrease pressure support and tidal volume during noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Therefore, the use of V̇-Com™ in NIV requires medical supervision.
