Keeping The Noise Down – The Fisher Paykel HC234

The problem with many “Continual Positive Air Pressure” machines is that they make too much noise. Naturally, this is has to be weighed up against the huge advantage they provide in terms of both sleep quality and enhanced breathing. However, there’s definitely a case to be made for how long it takes for many cpap users to adjust to the sounds that many machines make.

That’s why the ultra-quiet Fisher Paykel hc234 cpap machine is favored by many sleep apnea sufferers.

In case you didn’t know, a cpap machine produces a channel of pressurized air through an airtube to a mask that the patient wears over their nose and mouth. This is to counteract any potential collapse of the breathing airway that can result from windpipe and nasal muscles relaxing too much during sleep.

So units such as the hc234 overcome this by keeping breathing channels open with a supply higher air pressure. However, the downside is that this process is often accompanied with distracting sounds from 2 sources:

One of these sounds is generated cialis 20 mg tadalafil by the working parts of the CPAP device itself as it works to produce the pressurized air. And secondly, the build up of condensation in the mask and tubing very often causes ‘rainout’, which has a distracting gurgling sound that is hard to ignore.

In response to all this, the Fisher Paykel CPAP uses Ambient Tracking PLUS technology to minimize these sounds. The unit very cleverly adjusts to humidity levels in real-time, thereby reducing condensation in the airtubes and keeping rainout sounds to a minimum.

Now, it’s worth nothing that the main sleepstyle 234 unit operates very quietly anyhow, but the addition of this extra technology makes it one of the most noise-free overall that’s available. Welcome news to anyone with obstructive sleep apnea or similar breathing related issues.
