Available Therapies
The REMstar Pro C-Flex+ device delivers the following therapies:

breathing cycle.
• Auto-Trial – Delivers CPAP therapy while automatically adjusting the pressure level to meet your needs for a
specic number of days set by your physician. Your physician will set a pressure level range in which the device can
operate. Auto-Trial will typically be used if your physician is intending to eventually change you to CPAP-Check.
• CPAP-Check – Delivers CPAP therapy while automatically adjusting the pressure level to meet your needs similar
to Auto-Trial. Unlike Auto-Trial, the pressure level range is not adjustable by your physician.

• C-Flex – Provides pressure relief upon exhalation to improve comfort based on your needs.
• A-Flex/C-Flex+ – Provides pressure relief taking place at the end of inhalation and at the start of exhalation to
improve comfort based on your needs. When providing Auto-Trial therapy, this comfort feature is called A-Flex.
