The SnoreSilencer Pro manufactured by Phillips Respironics is a boil and bite type of mandibular advancement appliance with custom qualities but without the expense of a custom made dental device specifically made to reduce snoring. It kills the cost associated with the time interaction required by manufacturing process of the dental lab. Sleep apnea patients can also use this CPAP device alternative the same night it is fitted. This snore stopping device utilizes patented hinge technology and light formed material to provide the ultimate in comfort without the outrageously overpriced and unnecessary dental lab fabrication. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine study parameters have recommended this type of dental appliance therapy as a the first possible treatment for snoring or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. This alternative to CPAP therapy is currently only sold in U.S. and Canada.

Overview
Philips Respironics System One takes advantage of meliorate intelligence to deliver the highest quality care and enable patients to manage their CPAP usage more effectively. Respironics consistently brings forth intelligent tools for sleep lab professionals to help them succeed in this complex environment. With through customer input they present the latest technology in a series of prehensile therapy devices that cogitate and perform the way they should for sleep apnea patients. The Respironics System 1 is designed to provide more than therapy. It will intelligently and precisely deliver what CPAP patients need in the modern homecare environment. The PR System One provides new, more detailed levels of control, compliance and efficiency.

CPAP Humidity Control

Even when the CPAP machine environment changes, the humidification level of this CPAP device is protected throughout the night with the advanced technology humidity control feature. The Respironics System One produces optimum humidity and crowning comfort levels to the CPAP therapy user and also reduces the rainout phenonenon by using data from the room’s ambient temperature, humidity and the CPAP device’s user’s air flow rate.

Resistance Control

System One Resistance Control creates unmitigated patient comfort by making the CPAP device and mask able to function optimally in synchronization. With easy to use settings this technology allows the device to deliver dynamic resistance to compensate for every user’s different CPAP mask. This harmonious combination creates perfect pressure delivery to sleep apnea suffers. This new CPAP technology takes further advantage of the FLEX technology.

FLEX Technology
The clinically proven, natural technologies that heighten traditional pressure therapy with C Flex, Bi Flex, A Flex, and C Flex in the Phillips Respironics fixed advanced CPAP machines improve comfort to encourage more frequent use by the CPAP patient. Clinical tests indicate patients using Flex take advantage of their CPAP therapy an average of over four hours per night at 30 and 90 days when compared with an average of less than four hours per night when compared regular CPAP devices. Flex allows the patient to breathe easier by reducing the pressure on the exhalation segment of the CPAP cycle.

summary
This new CPAP therapy system gives a wide range of sleep apnea therapy options all types of sleep apnea patients including those with mild cases as well as those with extremely difficult snoring problems that require constant treatment modification. The System One advanced event detection software and reporting capabilities that are available via web interface. Philips Respironics Sleep Therapy System can diagnose and inform when a patient might have symptoms that are more sever than obstructive sleep apnea. A intellectual 3 layer algorithm recoginzes the difference between obstructed and unobstructed airway path apneas and cyclic breathing. Sleep professionals can now enjoy ease of access to sleep assessment parameters and reports previously only found on dedicated sleep diagnostic machines. These respiratory events are verified by examining sleep apneas patient flow waveform data. Many options exist for data transfer from the CPAP therapy device including standard SD memory cards (also used in compact digital cameras like those made by Canon), and even wired (LAN) and wireless access. These new Phillips CPAP devices now have standard memory storage included that stores up to six months of compliance data 7 and 30 day averages along with five days of patient waveforms.
