V-Com Sample CPAP Mask and Hose

SUNSET V Com Sample CPAP Mask and Hose - Logo 2Sample Instructions

  1. It is best practice when sampling V-Com™’s effect to turn OFF ramp and any expiratory pressure relief in your CPAP device (EPR, CFlex, ResLex, etc).

  2. It is our suggestion to set CPAP to either 10cm H20 or 12cm H20.
    Put mask on and turn on machine and sample pressure without V-Com. Breathe slow and steady as if you are trying to fall asleep. Regulate your breathing until you have a good handle on what this pressure feels like.

  3. Without turning the machine off, place the V-Com between the CPAP hose and mask (see example). Please note that the V-Com effect will be felt more with a nasal pillow mask more than a full face mask. The V-Com will fit between all hoses and interfaces with the exception of the ResMed AirMini, which has a proprietary interface. It will only fit one way as it has male and female connections.

  4. Again, breathe slow and steady as if you are trying to fall asleep. Take a few breaths and feel the difference on INSPIRATION with the V-Com in line. You can alternate back and forth with V-Com and without V-Com to feel the difference. You can also place 2 V-Coms in line sequentially for a more demonstrative inspiratory drop when demonstrating the V-Com.SUNSET V Com Sample CPAP Mask and Hose - Sample Instructions

*Current CPAP users: If you are acclimated to CPAP, you may NOT prefer the feeling of V-Com initially. Some users may feel “air-hungry” and may not like the decreased inspiratory pressure and flow at first, because they are used to a different feeling from their CPAP device. However, there are benefits beyond comfort that existing users (and new patients) experience and prefer (decreased need for chinstraps, quieter machines, less aerophagia, etc).
