What is the difference between Z2 Auto™ and Z2™ CPAP?
The Z2 CPAP is a fixed pressure CPAP that always delivers the same pressure. A patient is prescribed a single pressure setting, such as 8 cmH2O, and that is the pressure the device delivers at all times.
The Z2 Auto, on the other hand, is programmed with a pressure range such as 4-20 cmH2O. The device starts at the lowest pressure and automatically increases the pressure when it detects apnea. After the apnea has been corrected, the device returns to the lower pressure.
The Z2 Auto can be programmed in Auto (APAP) and Fixed Pressure (CPAP) modes. Changing the mode can only be done by a healthcare provider.
I have a fixed pressure CPAP prescription. Can I buy a Z2 car?
In order for us to be able to send a Z2 Auto Set in APAP mode, we must have stored a prescription for an APAP/CPAP machine. If you have already been prescribed CPAP with a fixed pressure setting, all you need to do is have your doctor write a new prescription with the required pressure range settings needed to program the Z2 Auto in APAP mode. Your doctor needs to know that the full pressure range of the Z2 Auto is 4 to 20 cmH2O. So the minimum pressure is at least 4 and the maximum pressure is at most 20.
What is the difference between a CPAP and an APAP?
While a CPAP has a continuous setting, an APAP can respond to changing pressure demands by constantly measuring how much resistance there is in your breathing.
The technology in an APAP device allows it to remain at a low setting until a change in breathing is detected and more airflow is needed.

Knowledge about CPAP therapy
How well does it work?
CPAP is effective for treating sleep apnea:
- CPAP is better than other non-surgical methods for treating obstructive sleep apnea
- Research shows that CPAP reduces daytime sleepiness, especially in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea.
- People who use CPAP for longer periods of time each night (about 7 hours) have less daytime sleepiness and depression and fewer heart problems than people who use CPAP for shorter periods of time (about 5 hours).
- People with coronary artery disease who use CPAP for sleep apnea are less likely to have heart problems such as heart failure.footnote6.
- Studies show that in people with moderate to severe sleep apnea, nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) lowers blood pressure both during the day and at night.
