BresoDx is launching this Saturday at ERS in London and we are there to support them. We are pleased to announce that we are now the exclusive distributors of the BresoDx diagnostic device in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

BresoDx has been approved in Europe as an aid in the diagnosis of sleep apnoea. The innovative device uses proprietary acoustic and movement recording technology to detect apnoea events. It is a cordless, battery operated device that provides results with a 94-96% correlation to the current gold standard of PSG. It has the versatility to be used for independent patient use in the comfort of their own home, or with minimal assistance in a hospital ward or sleep clinic. BresoDx has been tested and validated for its accuracy in several clinical trials led by Drs. Hisham Alshaer and Douglas Bradley of the University Health Network. It is a reliable and cost effective solution that can enhance the field of sleep apnoea diagnosis for physicians, patients and health care providers.

We are excited to announce that the XT CPAP machines are back! The XT CPAP range has previously been a popular choice by our fixed pressure CPAP users, and now automatic users can benefit from the launch of the XT-Auto machines too.

We now stock the XT-Fit, XT-Sense and XT-Auto CPAP machines. 

If you are looking for an affordable fixed pressure CPAP machine, purely to be used on your travels, then the XT-Fit is a great option to consider! Click here to find out more information about the XT-Fit.

If you would prefer to have a compact fixed pressure machine, but require long-term use, then the XT-Sense would be your most suitable option in the XT range to consider. To find out more information about the XT-Sense, click here.

If you are an automatic CPAP user, then the XT-Auto might be of interest to you. This palm sized CPAP range is sure to be a popular choice with its great travel friendly design and whisper quiet performance. Discover more about the XT-Auto by clicking here.

The XT range is remarkably small and light, making it a great option for those looking to travel lightly! With the three different XT options available, Apex has everyone covered. Whether you're looking for a low cost machine just for travelling with such as the XT-Fit, or a machine that runs to an optimum standard but is still remarkably small and compact for your bedside table, then the XT-Sense or XT-Auto are great machines to consider!

For those planning on travelling with their CPAP equipment this summer, then you will want to be informed of our latest (and greatest value) CPAP Battery Pack available.

If you have seen our last news post, you will have seen that we now stock the new DreamStation Auto CPAP and Pro CPAP machines! Following on from that post, we are now stocking the DreamStation Heated Humidifier by Philips Respironics.

If you do require humidification, this heated humidifier from the DreamStation range provides you with all the comfort you expect to have from humidification, but with some extra technological advancements to make it more effective and user friendly for you to use.

Do I need a humidifier?

We are very pleased to announce that we now stock the DreamStation Pro and DreamStation Pro Auto CPAP Machines.

The DreamStation Pro from Philips Respironics is one of the latest advanced CPAP machines.

With an in-built heated humidifier and tubing, all in a modernised design, it is made for ease of use in mind. With advanced in-built features, the machine offers users the ability to monitor therapy effectiveness and adapts on its own to ensure the best possible treatment is given to each individual user.

The CPAP machine includes SmartRamp technology, C-Flex+ as well as many additional features including Bluetooth connectivity, a mask fit- check tool, regular reminders when a filter change is needed, a user-friendly design with a colourful display, and an optional heated humidifier. Healthcare professionals can also use the convenient auto-trial mode when issuing a DreamStation Pro to a first-time CPAP patient. In this mode the device functions as an automatic machine for 30 days before switching to fixed pressure based on the data collected during the trial period. This allows the more cost-effective Pro model to be issued without requiring the patient to try a separate automatic device first.

The DreamStation Auto CPAP Machine is similar, although like the name suggests, it automatically adjusts the pressure for the user. Although, this can be changed if specific pressure settings are required.
​
The DreamStation range of CPAP machines are notably smaller and lighter than the System One predecessors, weighing around 15% less than their equivalents. This makes it arguably the best combination of size, features and performance available.
