The S10 series is an original import, all fully automatic single-level, and there is a fully automatic double-level AirCurve 10 VAuto PlusC, which should be selected according to the severity of symptoms.
The S10 series has only one in foreign countries, equipped with cloud functions as standard, and is split into S10 Autoset and S10 Plus C in China, the biggest difference between the two is that Plus C has more cloud functions, which can upload data to the cloud. Compared with the traditional SD card record data, the current upload data density is not enough, doctors and other professionals can not obtain enough information from it to analyze and improve the user's treatment plan, and the choice of S10 Autoset is not a big problem. Both are available in black and white, with the white version having more for her soothing mode than the black one, and the output airflow will be softer.
S9 Auto 25 and AirCurve 10VAuto PlusC are both dual-level automatic ventilators, the latter has more cloud functions, weight, size and other appearances are also optimized, humidifier upgraded from separate type to integrated type, can effectively prevent water vapor backfilling damage to the host, but other parameters and sense of use is not much different. S9 is also a generation of classic famous machines of ResMé, although it is an old model, but the popularity has been very high, if you pursue cost performance, S9 Auto 25 will be more suitable.

Formerly known as the German Vanman Medical Co., Ltd. with a history of more than 140 years, Wanman has manufactured the first non-invasive ventilation equipment in Europe, and has a relatively deep technical precipitation in the research and development of medical equipment for sleep treatment and respiratory diseases, and in 2013, Wanman's sleep respiratory therapy business was officially acquired by Levestine.
There are many models of SOMOTO series and Prisma series, covering single-level and double-level ventilators, and even self-developed three-level ventilators (SOMNOvent-autoS and other models), which introduce EEPAP on the basis of double-level ventilators to maintain the patency of the user's upper airway and prevent airway collapse caused by low EPAP.
At present, there are two models of SOMNO Banlance and SOMNOvent auto-ST on sale in China, and both use copper core motors/turbines inside, which can ensure long-term stable operation, but also lead to heavier products. In terms of operating noise, both can be controlled at about 25.8dB, which is not much different from ResMed, of which SOMNOvent auto-ST is a fully automatic three-level ventilator.
There is also the Prisma series abroad, and the novel prism shape is eye-catching. Taking PrismaSMART as an example, the whole is in the shape of a triangular prism, including two different single-level automatic algorithms, standard and dynamic, and the air pressure is larger in dynamic mode, which is more suitable for people with more serious airway obstruction. The main unit and humidifier are separated and have a total of 5 adjustable humidity. But it is not equipped with a Chinese interface, which is not very convenient for domestic users.

Affiliated to Beijing Jardine Jiaye Medical, it is a leading enterprise in the field of domestic ventilators and the first non-invasive ventilator manufacturer certified by the US FDA. With product R&D centers in many places across the country, the brand innovation is very strong: in 2014, the second-generation ventilator RESmart GII with blood oxygen detection and remote data detection functions was launched, and the first telemedicine service platform in China - BMC+ respiratory health management cloud was established the following year.
Its ventilators have a comprehensive range of ventilators, including the E and U series with split design, the G series (G2SG3) with integrated design, and the portable M1-mini. Among them, the E series is single-level, the U series is double-horizontal, and the G series covers single and double horizontal ventilators.
The E-20C is semi-automatic single-level, and the pressure of the ventilator needs to be adjusted manually, and the price is the cheapest. The E-20A and E-20AJ are both automatic, the main difference between the two is that the E-20A uses a 3.5-inch large screen, which is more convenient for daily reading, while the E-20AJ's screen is only 2.4 inches.
G series positioning is higher, the whole series are fully automatic ventilators, of which the core performance of G2S series and E/U series is not much different, the difference is whether the humidifier is an integrated design. The G3 series has upgraded the internal motor, so that the peak flow rate at the same pressure is higher, which can respond faster to the user's breathing changes and improve the synchronization of man and machine, but the price is also much more expensive, and the G3 B25VT is nearly 1,000 yuan more expensive than the U-25T.
The M1-mini ventilator weighs about 360g, the whole machine is about the same size as a mobile phone, it is very small, the machine running noise is about 30dB, and it supports Smart intelligent three-speed pressure regulation. 3 moisturizing filters are standard, which need to be replaced once a month.
