What is EPR?
EPR™ (expiratory pressure relief) is an effective alternative to standard CPAP therapy. It is a device feature set that enables reliable and predictable therapy control while delivering a higher level of comfort. EPR is a special inclusion only available on our newer S8™ flow generators.
How does EPR work?
When you breathe out (exhale), the S8 flow generator device (if EPR is integrated) detects the beginning of exhalation and reduces motor speed to drop treatment pressure. The patient or clinician chooses one of three comfort levels to determine the degree by which pressure will drop.
Setting 1 = mild comfort (1 cm H20)
Setting 2 = medium comfort (2 cm H20)
Setting 3 = maximum comfort (3 cm H20)
