EXPIRATORY PRESSURE RELIEF
Note: EPR may not be available in all regions.
You can set the
set EPR for patients who find it difficult to exhale against positive airway pressure. EPR
provides a small reduction to CPAP during exhalation, reducing patient effort.
You can switch EPR off completely, set it for use during ramp only, or set it for full-
time use during therapy (including the ramp period).
There are three levels of EPR available, each level corresponding to different levels of
pressure relief. 1, 2, and 3 provide varying levels of EPR, with 3 providing the highest
level. You can also set EPR to OFF. You can either set the EPR level only, or you can
set the EPR level and enable patients to modify their level of EPR via the EPR SETTING
screen in the patient menus.
