AirCurve 11 ASV – Advanced ASV Therapy for Central & Complex Sleep Apnea

The Most Advanced BiPAP with Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV)

 

The AirCurve 11 ASV is an advanced adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) BiPAP machine designed for individuals with central sleep apnea (CSA), complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS), and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR). Unlike conventional BiPAP devices, the AirCurve 11 ASV dynamically adjusts pressure support breath-by-breath to maintain stable breathing patterns, delivering precise therapy tailored to the user’s needs.

Adaptive, Intelligent, and Effective – The Gold Standard in ASV Therapy

✔ Advanced ASV Algorithm – Automatically adjusts pressure to stabilize breathing patterns.
✔ Precise Breath-by-Breath Adaptation – Ensures optimal ventilation without forcing breathing rhythms.
✔ Auto-Adjusting EPAP & Pressure Support – Provides the right level of airway support in real time.
✔ Quiet & Comfortable – Designed for minimal noise and enhanced sleep comfort.
✔ Integrated Humidification – Prevents dryness and enhances therapy adherence.
✔ Smart Connectivity – Compatible with AirView™ & myAir™ for remote monitoring and therapy insights.

Ideal for patients diagnosed with central sleep apnea (CSA), complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS), and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR).

AirCurve 11 ASV vs. AirCurve 11 VAuto vs. AirCurve 11 ST

 

The AirCurve 11 ASV differs from the AirCurve 11 VAuto and AirCurve 11 ST in its ability to treat central and complex sleep apnea, while the VAuto is designed for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the ST model is intended for patients with respiratory insufficiency requiring a backup rate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is ASV therapy, and how does it differ from standard BiPAP?

ASV (Adaptive Servo-Ventilation) provides highly responsive breath-by-breath pressure adjustments to stabilize breathing in patients with central and complex sleep apnea. Unlike standard BiPAP, which maintains preset pressure levels, ASV dynamically adapts based on the user’s breathing needs in real-time.

2. Who should use the AirCurve 11 ASV?

This device is recommended for patients diagnosed with central sleep apnea (CSA), complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS), and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR). It is not typically used for obstructive sleep apnea unless central apnea events are present.

3. Can the AirCurve 11 ASV treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?

While the AirCurve 11 ASV can be used in some cases of mixed apnea, it is primarily designed for central apnea conditions. Patients with only OSA should consider the AirCurve 11 VAuto instead.

4. Does the AirCurve 11 ASV include a backup respiratory rate?

No, the ASV algorithm works differently from standard BiPAP-ST models. Instead of relying on a fixed backup rate, it provides breath-by-breath adjustments to maintain normal breathing patterns without forcing respiration.

5. Can I track my therapy data with this machine?

Yes! The AirCurve 11 ASV is compatible with AirView™ & myAir™, allowing for remote physician monitoring, therapy tracking, and detailed compliance reporting.
