Sleep apnea sufferers have a new way to treat their condition, announced the CPAP Shop (http://www.thecpapshop.com/product_page_manufacture.aspflag=manufacture&ManufactureID=13&name=Respironics). This technology sensed when a person was exhaling and in turn lowered the pressure simultaneously.
Most recently developed, is the highly advanced A-flex technology, which not only adjusts the amount of pressure released while a person is exhaling, but it also monitors and adjusts to
the varying needs of pressure people require while inhaling. It also has a wider range of pressure settings making it even more customizable to an individual's breathing pattern.
For instance, if an individual were to eat a heavy meal or come down with a chest cold, the A-flex technology acutely recognizes the changing needs of that person, not only while that
person is exhaling, like the older C-flex technology provided, but also while that person is inhaling. The A-flex technology works to replicate natural breathing patterns as it tracks and
adjusts throughout an individual's entire breathing cycle, inhalation through exhalation. It also weighs significantly less, about two pounds, compared to the earlier 15-pound CPAP
machines, making it easier to travel.
"Advancements in CPAP technology have been remarkable and Respironics' A-flex technology is an example of how the industry is changing the way people treat sleep apnea," says Chris Vasta,
Vice President of the CPAP Shop. "Many studies have shown that sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure, hypertension and even increase a person's risk of getting in a car
accident. It is our goal to educate people about the effects of sleep apnea while providing them with comfortable affordable ways to treat the condition."
