Noninvasive ventilator
VPAP S is ResMed’s entry level noninvasive ventilation (NIV) device designed to treat nondependent, spontaneously breathing patients with respiratory insufficiency, in the home.
Packed with a range of trusted features and technologies: CPAP and Spontaneous (S) modes, the Easy-Breathe motor, Vsync, TiControl, and Trigger and Cycle Sensitivities.
Noninvasive ventilator
VPAP ST is ResMed’s mid-level noninvasive ventilator designed to treat nondependent patients with respiratory insufficiency, requiring the security of a backup rate (up to 50 bpm), in the hospital or the home.
Packed with a range of trusted features and technologies: CPAP, Spontaneous (S), Spontaneous–Timed (ST) and Timed (T) modes, Vsync, TiControl, and Trigger and Cycle Sensitivities.
Auto-adjusting device
Designed to provide set pressure support for comfort, while automatically titrating the upper airway, S9 Auto 25 is an auto-adjusting pressure support device with the natural comfort of Easy-Breathe technology. It's ideal for patients who need both higher pressures and pressure relief.
S9 Auto 25’s VAuto mode now offers enhanced AutoSet technology with central sleep apnea (CSA) detection.
ASV device
VPAP Adapt is ResMed’s adaptive servo-ventilator specifically designed to treat periodic breathing, central sleep apnea (CSA) in all its forms, and any co-existing obstructive sleep apnea.
Packed with a range of trusted features and technologies: CPAP and ASV modes, the Easy-Breathe waveform and Vsync.
Noninvasive ventilator
VPAP III ST-A with QuickNav is a noninvasive ventilator designed to treat non-dependent patients with respiratory insufficiency who need the security of a backup respiratory rate and alarms in the home or in non-acute hospital environments.
Packed with a range of trusted features and technologies: CPAP, Spontaneous (S), Spontaneous–Timed (ST) and Timed (T) modes, five comprehensive alarms, Vsync, TiControl, and Trigger and Cycle Sensitivities.
*The new bilevel range includes: VPAP S, VPAP ST, S9 Auto 25 and VPAP Adapt.

ResMed’s proven performance in respiratory care devices is the reason why many clinicians prefer to treat their patients with a bilevel device.
VPAP technologies
The following VPAP technologies work together to achieve exceptional patient–device synchronisation, comfort, compliance and treatment efficacy:
VSync
The Vsync feature manages leak and maintains patient–device synchrony.
When patients breathe ‘in sync’ with their device, they receive more effective, comfortable treatment.
TiControl
The TiControl feature allows clinicians to manage leak by controlling the patient’s inspiratory time limit according to disease state. TiMax is used for obstructive disorders and large leak; TiMin is used for restrictive disorders.
Trigger and Cycle Sensitivities
This feature allows clinicians to customise the sensitivity with which the device detects the start of inspiration and expiration.
Optimised for typical patients, VPAP’s trigger and cycle sensitivities improve patient–device synchrony and lower the patient’s work of breathing, while avoiding false triggers.
Spontaneous, Spontaneous–Timed and Timed Modes
ResMed's S, ST and T modes use a conventional square pressure waveform delivering two levels of pressure—IPAP for inspiration and EPAP for expiration.
Choosing the right mode depends on the patient’s condition and whether there is a need for a backup respiratory rate.
VAuto—the auto-adjusting mode
VAuto mode is useful for OSA patients requiring set pressure support for comfort with Enhanced AutoSet to automatically titrate the upper airway. The inclusion of CSA detection allows clinicians to monitor more difficult patients for central sleep apnea and prescribe ASV therapy if required.
Adaptive Servo-Ventilation mode
ResMed's ASV therapy has been the most proven treatment on the market for central sleep apnea (CSA), including complex, periodic breathing and mixed sleep apnea.
In patients with Congestive Heart Failure and Cheyne-Stokes respiration, ASV therapy has been shown to improve parameters of sleep-disordered breathing, cardiac function, and respiratory stability.1, 2, 3

Both the S9 Series and new bilevel range* share the same features and benefits of the award-winning design and technology platform.
Quietness
The enhanced Easy-Breathe motor delivers more performance, yet virtually eliminates the noise radiated into the room as well as the noise conducted down the tube … creating the most peaceful environment for the user and their bed partner.
Intuitive Design
The new-look devices take an evolutionary leap forward in form and function. The controls are not only inviting, stylish and easy to use, but they also introduce innovative features that ensure patient support and encouragement.
Climate Control
ResMed's Climate Control feature (with H5i Heated Humidifier) automatically delivers the optimal temperature and humidity right to the mask. It protects against rainout without compromising humidity, providing the most comfortable therapy possible.
More flexible tubing
Exclusive to ResMed, the standard SlimLine™ and heated ClimateLine™ and ClimateLineMAX™ tubes are the most comfortable tubes available, virtually eliminating tube drag!
Compliance Management
ResMed offers a range of compliance management solutions that help in delivering a high quality of patient care. Therapy can be easily monitored, ensuring any problems are detected early and addressed quickly.
