IntelliigentAir tech helps synchronize with patient breathing, even with leaks. Quiet and compact, making it feasible for home use. Integrated humidifier + heated tube support increases comfort (reducing dryness). Remote monitoring (Cloud) is useful for caregivers / clinicians. Considerations: ST mode gives backup breaths: not for fully dependent ventilator patients. Users on Reddit report that in ST mode, pressure “drops abruptly” after inspiratory phase under some settings. > “pressure drops each time before I finish inhaling” Requires regular maintenance: cleaning humidifier, filters, etc. Because it’s advanced, may require setup / tuning by a clinician (especially trigger/cycle, backup rate).
