The main difference between BiPAP and CPAP machines is that BiPAP machines have two pressure settings: the prescribed pressure for inhalation (ipap), and a lower pressure for exhalation (epap). The dual settings allow the patient to get more air in and out of their lungs.
A fixed pressure CPAP device provides a constant therapeutic pressure. The prescription is written as a single pressure such as 12 cmH2O.
An Auto adjusting CPAP provides a variable therapeutic pressure throughout the resting period. The prescription for is written as a range of pressures such as 4-20 cmH20. The therapy will start at the lowest set pressure and then increase as it senses resistance.
The warranty on the Z1 in the US is 24 months from the “original shipment” to the DME or Breas Authorized retailer. In Canada, the warranty is 36 months from the original shipment.
The warranty on the Z2 is two years from the date the patient purchased the unit from the reseller, with their receipt. If the patient does not have a receipt, the warranty period starts from the time the DME purchased the device plus a two-month grace period.
Please contact us at 855-436-8724, and we would be happy to discuss why the Z2 is, or is not, an appropriate choice for you.
No, a BiPAP prescription is specific to a BIPAP machine and cannot be used for a CPAP machine and vice versa. You will need to discuss this with your doctor if you would like to purchase a CPAP device.
