Features of SULLIVAN® Comfort™

Delay timer

If you find the initial sensation of pressure uncomfortable while trying to fall asleep you may use the delay timer. This allows you to select the time it will take (5, 10 or 20 minutes) for the air pressure in your mask to build up gradually to your prescribed pressures. You will have the comfort of relatively low pressures while still awake and the assurance that the required pressures will be reached shortly after you fall asleep. See section 5, Daily operation, for instructions on use.

Note: Your physician may recommend that you do not use the delay timer, or use it only to a limited degree. In this case your unit may be set accordingly.

Use in different countries

Your Comfort is normally used at home, but it may also be taken with you when you travel. The flow generator has a switch mode power supply which means it can operate on power supplies in other countries without any special adjustment. It can also be used in trucks and recreational vehicles. See section 7, Use in different countries.

Indications for use

The SULLIVAN Comfort bi-level nasal system is for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in adult patients.

WARNING: This is not a life support device. It may stop operating with a power supply interruption or if a fault occurs in the product. If this could threaten your safety, consult your physician who can advise you about precautions that should be taken in the event of such a failure.

Comfort specifications

ResMed Comfort is a premier choice for individuals seeking an effective solution for their sleep apnea and other respiratory issues. The device is designed to enhance the user experience while providing substantial therapeutic benefits. At the core of ResMed Comfort is its innovative technology that focuses on improving airflow and reducing disturbances during sleep.

One of the standout features of the ResMed Comfort is its Adaptive Airflow technology. This system continuously monitors the user’s breathing patterns and makes real-time adjustments to deliver the optimal level of pressure. This responsiveness ensures that patients receive the precise amount of air pressure they need, minimizing the risk of mask leaks and discomfort.

The device is equipped with an integrated humidifier that adds moisture to the airflow. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from dry mouth or nasal passages, making therapy more comfortable and less invasive. Moreover, the humidifier is designed to be easy to fill and clean, promoting hygiene and user convenience.

The ResMed Comfort also focuses on noise reduction, making it one of the quietest devices in its category. Patients can enjoy a restful night's sleep without the distraction of loud machinery or airflow sounds. This characteristic is especially crucial for couples, where one partner’s therapy should not disrupt the other’s rest.

Customization is another hallmark of the ResMed Comfort. Users can adjust various settings, including ramp time, which allows them to gradually acclimate to the prescribed pressure. The device's user-friendly interface and display make navigating these settings a breeze, ensuring that patients can tailor their therapy to their specific needs with ease.

ResMed Comfort also boasts advanced connectivity features, allowing users to track their therapy progress through mobile apps or online platforms. This connectivity fosters better engagement, enabling users to communicate effectively with their healthcare providers and make informed adjustments when necessary.

In conclusion, ResMed Comfort combines cutting-edge technology, user-centric design, and exceptional therapeutic benefits, making it an ideal choice for those seeking relief from sleep apnea and other respiratory challenges. Its innovative features and ease of use epitomize ResMed’s commitment to improving patient outcomes and enhancing the overall experience of sleep therapy.
