Details
The SleepRes V-Com™ is an innovative CPAP comfort device engineered to improve tolerance and comfort during positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. By softening peak inspiratory airflow, V-Com helps reduce the harsh sensation of forced air that many CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP users experience, especially at higher pressures.
Designed to connect easily between the CPAP hose and mask, the V-Com™ requires no power, settings, or software. Its passive airflow technology smooths inhalation while preserving therapeutic expiratory pressure, ensuring sleep apnea treatment remains effective without compromising comfort.
FDA-cleared and compatible with most standard PAP systems using 22 mm connectors, the SleepRes V-Com™ is ideal for new users struggling to adapt to therapy, as well as experienced users seeking improved comfort and compliance. Lightweight, compact, and easy to clean, it offers a simple, non-electronic solution to enhance nightly CPAP use and promote better sleep quality.
Features & Benefits
Features:
- Softens Peak Inspiratory Flow for Greater CPAP Comfort: Reduces the overwhelming sensation of high airflow to make CPAP therapy more comfortable for users.
- Easy, Plug-and-Play Installation Between Hose and Mask: Simple setup lets users integrate V-Com into their PAP circuit in seconds without tools.
- Maintains Effective Expiratory Pressure (EPAP): Softens inspiratory flow without significantly reducing EPAP, preserving therapy efficacy
- Supports Better CPAP Adherence Rates: Clinical evidence shows improved comfort can lead to higher long-term usage and adherence.
- Durable, Easy-to-Clean Construction: Made for repeated use with straightforward cleaning instructions to maintain hygiene.
Benefits
- Enhances Overall CPAP Comfort: Softened airflow reduces the harsh sensation of pressure, making therapy feel more natural and comfortable.
- Helps Users Breathe More Naturally: Smooths peak inspiratory flow to better match natural breathing patterns during sleep.
- Supports Better Long-Term CPAP Adherence: Increased comfort can lead to longer nightly use and improved therapy compliance.
- Promotes Faster Adjustment to PAP Therapy: Helps users adapt more quickly during the critical first weeks of treatment.
- Works with Existing PAP Equipment: No need to replace masks or machines, making it a simple comfort upgrade.
Ideal For
- New CPAP Users Adjusting to Therapy: Helps ease the transition by reducing harsh airflow during inhalation.
- Users Sensitive to High CPAP Pressures: Softens peak inspiratory flow for a more comfortable breathing experience.
- CPAP, APAP & BiPAP Users Seeking More Comfort: Enhances breathing comfort without changing machine settings.
- Patients Waking Up from Airflow Discomfort: Helps create smoother inhalation for fewer sleep interruptions.
- Users Who Feel Pressure Ramps Too Quickly: Softens inspiratory flow to create a gentler breathing transition.

FAQ's
Q: What does the SleepRes V-Com™ do?
A: The V-Com™ softens peak inspiratory airflow from CPAP, APAP, or BiPAP machines, helping users breathe more naturally and comfortably while maintaining effective therapy.
Q: Will the V-Com™ reduce my prescribed therapy pressure?
A: No. The device is designed to improve comfort without significantly reducing therapeutic expiratory pressure (EPAP).
Q: Where does the V-Com™ connect?
A: It installs inline between your CPAP hose and mask. No tools or machine adjustments are required.
Q: How long will I need to use the V-Com?
A: How long you use V-Com is completely up to you. There’s no need to remove it, it’s designed to make your PAP therapy more comfortable. Most people will develop tolerance to the peak flows and pressures of PAP therapy over a period of weeks or months. Once you can easily tolerate the peak flows and pressures, you can remove your V-Com device. If you feel you still need the V-Com device, simply re-install it until you are ready to try PAP therapy without it.
Q: Where can I obtain a replacement V-Com device?
A: Please reach out to the supplier that provided your initial V-Com to learn more about purchasing a replacement device.
Q: Can I share my V-Com device with another PAP user?
A: No, the V-Com is a single-use device. It should not be used or placed on more than one patient.
Q: Is it okay to remove & replace the V-Com device while my PAP machine is on (running)?
A: No, your PAP device should be turned off when removing and replacing the V-Com. Placing the V-Com device in an active breathing circuit could possibly affect algorithms for auto-titration and respiratory event detection. Always turn the PAP device off first, place V-ComTM device in the breathing circuit, and then turn the PAP device back on.
Q: I use a mask with my Non-Invasive Ventilator (NIV) or Auto Servo Ventilation (ASV) unit. Can I use V-Com?
A: Regardless of the device you are using, you should always consult with your physician prior to the use of V-Com. In addition, V-Com affects inspiratory PAP more than expiratory PAP, which may decrease pressure support and tidal volume during noninvasive ventilation therapy. V-Com has not been tested in adaptive servo ventilation and average volume-adjusted pressure support breathing circuits.
Q: How often do I need to replace the V-Com device?
A: We recommend that the V-Com be replaced every three months. If there is any damage to the device, or if there is any impeding of airflow, the device should be replaced.
