Home BPAP units are portable, AC-powered devices designed to deliver bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or chronic respiratory conditions like COPD. They assist spontaneous breathing by providing adjustable pressure levels during inhalation and exhalation, often including optional humidification to improve comfort during use at home or in healthcare settings.
These devices are typically regulated as medical technology under national or regional health authorities, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are usually supplied as a complete system, including the main unit, tubing, and masks, though accessories like humidifiers may be optional or sold separately.
