Introduction 13
Intended purpose
The point 2 is a respiratory therapy device designed for the treatment of sleep-related
breathing disorders in patients weighing 30 kg or more. With increased demand of
pressure and/or forms of respiratory insuciency, the point 2 BILEVEL ST20 and the
point 2 BILEVEL ST25 offers the classical non-invasive ST-Bilevel therapy.
The point 2 CPAP (CPAP = Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is a respiratory therapy
device, which applies a continuous positive airway pressure to the patient.
The point 2 AutoCPAP (AutoCPAP = Automatically Adjusting Continuous Positive Air-
way Pressure) is a respiratory therapy device, which provides an event-driven therapy
pressure adjustment within preset pressure limits.
The point 2 BILEVEL ST20 and the point 2 BILEVEL ST25 (ST = Spontaneous, Timed)
are respiratory therapy devices, which enables two independently adjustable pressure
levels depending of inspiration and expiration.
The device generates positive airway pressure which keeps the patient‘s airways open
whilst asleep. The therapy pressure is administered via a respiratory mask (nasal, nasal
cushion or full-face mask), which must be fitted with an exhalation valve to ensure
that the exhaled air is discharged.
The point 2 is designed for use at home and in hospitals operation.
The device is not suitable for use with patients in need of artificial respiration.
