Respirare Bi-PAP is a non-invasive ventilation device which augments patient
breathing by supplying pressurized air through a breathing circuit. It senses the
patient’s breathing behaviour by monitoring airflow in the breathing circuit and
adjusts its output to assist in inhalation and exhalation. This therapy is known as Bi-
level Ventilation. Bi-level intimation provides a higher pressure, known as IPAP
(Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure), when you inhale, and a lower pressure, known
as EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure), when you exhale. The higher
pressure makes it easier for you to inhale, and the lower pressure makes it easier for
you to exhale.
Though these are the part of the devices only but, we have to fit two components to the
device to make it functional -
ŸPatient Tube
ŸFull face mask (Non-vented) (a Vented mask should be used if there is no other
leak port in the breathing circuit)
The following table illustrates some of the device connectors and features as
described in the table below:

2.1 FEATURES
Air Filter
The reusable filter screens out normal
household dust and pollens.
Front veiw
Back veiw
Humidifier
This machine comes with a detachable
Humidifier. By warming and moistening
the air you’re breathing, humidification
reduces dry nose and throat using a
humidifier can improve comfort.
Mask needs to be placed on the face
of the patient in such a way that it
covers the nose of the patient.
