Have you been looking into a new CPAP machine lately? Trying to find the right one for you can be difficult, as at first glance it looks like they may all be the same. That’s why it’s important to find out what sets each one apart. Today we’ll be looking at ResMed’s AirSense 11 and Philips Respironics’ DreamStation 2.
Top 3 differences between the AirSense 11 to the DreamStation 2
1. Size and Design
When it comes to your bedside space, size definitely matters. The AirSense 11 and DreamStation 2 have sleeker designs without giving up any features or power. The AirSense 11 weighs only 2.5 pounds, but the DreamStation 2 boasts being both small and light enough to function as both a home and travel ready device.
The AirSense 11 can be packed away as well, but won’t fit as a carry on with the ease the DreamStation 2 can claim That means you can pack it away in your suitcase or carry-on without worrying about weight.
2. User Interfaces
While both the AirSense 11 and DreamStation 2 focus on improving user interfaces, the AirSense 11 doesn’t make any sacrifices of usability. Ditching the hard to use scroll wheels of the past, both machines now have a simple-to-use, full color touch screen.
However, with the AirSense 11 you’ll also have even more access to your results with the familiar MyAir app, with the AirSense 11’s new Personal Therapy Assistant, and with the Care Check-In features. All of these help keep you on track with good CPAP habits, and even includes a video guide to getting started with CPAP!
3. Therapy Algorithms
ResMed machines are known for their excellent auto-titration functions. With the new AirSense 11, you won’t have to worry about getting the right model, as all AirSense 11’s have “For Her” mode built right in. Along with the best auto adjusting algorithms, new features also allow remote troubleshooting and software updates for the AirSense 11.
While the DreamStation 2 has auto-titration algorithms of its own, it will function best for those needing higher pressures. With its vastly improved “Ramp Plus” feature, users with higher pressure needs will drift off to sleep at easy levels until the machine can smoothly transition to what you need.
How to get these new CPAPs
- Color touchscreen: The AirSense 11 utilizes an intuitive color touchscreen to navigate menus and settings, available at the press of a finger.
- Personal Therapy Assistant: Great for those that are uncomfortable falling asleep to CPAP, Personal Therapy Assistant helps acclimate you to CPAP therapy.
- Care Check-In: Receive tailored guidance through key milestones in your treatment journey with easy to answer questions on the device or in your MyAir app.
But it doesn't stop there -- it goes above and beyond.
With AutoRamp and SmartStart, the AirSense 11 will start automatically at a low pressure as soon as you put on your mask. It then ramps up the pressure to the perfect level once you are asleep, helping you drift off more comfortably. It is also perfect if you are sensitive to high pressures. With EPR (expiratory pressure relief), the AirSense 11 reduces air pressure when you exhale to make breathing easy.
