Why choose AutoSet with Easy-Breathe technology?
ResMed's AutoSet technology is clinically proven to increase patient comfort and compliance by adjusting pressure to meet patient's pressure needs, breath by breath. In a study by Bliss et al, ResMed's AutoSet was found to respond more effectively to inspiratory flow limitation breath by breath than comparable APAP devices, for more comfortable, efficacious therapy.
