Product description
The "Sullivan V" is a basic nasal CPAP (Continuous Positive Airways Pressure) device which provides ventilatory assistance to users with obstructive sleep apnea. It consists of a microprocessor control to set the user's own parameters, a delay timer which delays the start of treatment pressure, a two-stage air filter to remove dust and pollens from the air and indicator lights on the front panel to indicate when the unit is on or in a delay timer mode. The "Sullivan V Plus" is identical with an additional feature. This unit has an LED pressure indicator to indicate when pressure is being delivered. The "Sullivan V Elite" is also identical to the other two units with an additional feature. It has a pressure feedback feature which compensates for changes in atmospheric pressure.
