C-Flex

How C-Flex works.
The difference that patients feel when using C-Flex comes, in large part, from Digital Auto-Trak ® . This patented algorithm precisely
identifies the transition between inhalation and exhalation – even in the presence of mask leak and other variables. Digital Auto-Trak
helps therapy feel more natural by matching therapy to the patient’s natural breathing pattern. And by matching the patient’s breathing
pattern, C-Flex can reduce pressure at the moment of expiration.
With three C-Flex levels, patients have the ability to select the level of pressure relief that’s right for them. The amount of pressure
relief will vary on a breath-by-breath basis depending on the patient’s expiratory flow and the C-Flex setting. The device returns to the
prescribed pressure at the end of exhalation to ensure proper therapy.

The new REMstar Pro 2 with C-Flex, like all REMstar devices with C-Flex,
reduces therapy pressure right at the point that a patient begins to exhale.
The level of pressure relief will vary with every breath and can be increased
or decreased with one of three C-Flex settings to make therapy more
comfortable. And that can make long-term compliance easier to achieve.
REMstar ® Pro 2 with C-Flex
and REMstar Auto with C-Flex:
Two new ways for patients to
feel the difference.
To complete the family of REMstar devices with C-Flex,
we’ve added powerful new reporting features to the
REMstar Pro. Also, we’ve combined auto-titration with
C-Flex to introduce the REMstar Auto with C-Flex – the
most comfortable smart CPAP we’ve ever produced.
REMstar Pro 2 with C-Flex advances the ability of our
top-of-line sleep therapy system by adding the ability to
record apnea/hypopnea index, leak levels and snoring.
This gives you even more insight into a patient’s therapy
regimen – and makes it easier to identify any need to
modify therapy.
The REMstar Auto with C-Flex features a “multi-level”
algorithm that measures instances of flow limitation to
make systematic, subtle changes in pressure and assesses
the impact of these changes on the patient’s breathing
patterns. It can also determine how much of a response is
necessary to eliminate events and position the patients with
a more appropriate pressure – as well as compensate for
elevated leak levels and variable breathing.
Combining C-Flex and auto-titration makes the REMstar
Auto with C-Flex a particularly attractive device in a
sleep lab setting – especially when used in conjunction
with our Analog Output Module and Clinical Remote.
