Information for patients and caregivers who have received a DreamStation 2 as a replacement for your existing CPAP device
Ozone and UV light cleaning products are not currently approved cleaning methods for sleep apnea devices or masks and should not be used.
The DreamStation 2 AutoCPAP Advanced was designed with your comfort and ease in mind. It is easy to use and features a Ramp Plus setting that will allow you to pick a starting pressure that is comfortable to help you fall asleep. We understand that any change to your therapy device can cause concern. We are working with your homecare provider/DME to ensure proper and smooth replacement device setup. We have a patient management software solution that in many cases allows your homecare provider to access the prescription settings from your previous device. This means your replacement device will have comparable settings to your previous device. Don’t forget to download the DreamMapper app to help track your progress, set goals and get helpful tips.
