ResMed Lumis 100 VPAP ST BiPAP Machine with PAC Mode

Introduction

The ResMed Lumis 100 VPAP ST BiPAP Machine is a non-invasive ventilator designed to support patients who need reliable ventilatory assistance. With modes including CPAP, S, T, ST, and PAC, and a delivered pressure range up to ~25 cmH₂O (for S/T/ST/PAC), it’s suitable for managing sleep apnea, respiratory insufficiencies, and situations where spontaneous breathing may weaken. Backed by ResMed’s service network in India, it delivers both performance and trust.

Features

• Multiple Therapy Modes: CPAP, Spontaneous (S), Timed (T), Spontaneous/Timed (ST), and PAC modes ensure patients with varying respiratory needs—like mixed apnea or daytime hypoventilation—get proper support.

• Wide Pressure Range: For S/T/ST/PAC modes the device supports ~2-25 cmH₂O; CPAP mode up to ~4-20 cmH₂O, letting clinicians tailor therapy to patient’s severity and comfort. 

• Adjustable Breath / Backup Rate: Capable of respiratory rates from ~5 to 50 breaths per minute, offering backup breaths when spontaneous ventilation drops. 

• Alarms & Safety Controls: Includes alarms for disconnection, high leak, low pressure etc., giving reassurance and safety for home or clinical settings.

• Data Management & Interface: Display screen, user controls, settings for adjusting inspiratory/expiratory times, triggers, etc. Provides for logging of therapy details for doctor follow-ups. 

Benefits & Use Cases

Benefits

• Ensures ventilation stability via PAC & ST modes so patient breathing remains supported even during sleep or when spontaneous breathing weakens.

• Enhanced comfort through mild pressure ranges and clear controls, which helps reduce airway irritation and improve nightly compliance.

• Safer therapy in homes with power fluctuations or during travel with reliable safety alarms.

• Better disease management—sleep apnea, COPD or neuromuscular issues—by offering flexible modes and backup rate.

• Local support & warranty in India reduce downtime; spare parts are more accessible.

Use Cases

• Moderate to Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Use CPAP or PAC modes with higher EPAP to prevent airway collapse.

• Respiratory Insufficiency in COPD / Chest Wall Disorders: ST mode + backup rate helps reduce effort of breathing, especially during exacerbations.

• Patients with Central Apnea or Mixed Apnea: PAC and ST provide support when spontaneous drive fluctuates.

• Long-term Home Ventilation: For elderly or post-acute care, where consistent supportive ventilation is needed without hospital dependency.

FAQs

Q1: What is PAC mode and when is it useful?
PAC (Proportional Assist Control) helps support breathing by amplifying the patient’s own effort. Useful in mixed apnea or hypoventilation when spontaneous effort is variable.

Q2: Can I use it with a humidifier?
The standard Lumis 100 ST doesn’t always come bundled with humidifier; humidifier may be an optional accessory or part of a “Tripack” bundle.

Q3: Is the device loud?
No. Lumis devices are engineered to work quietly. Noise is generally low enough for bedside use without disturbing others.

Q4: How often should filters / mask parts be changed?
Filters: weekly checks / clean; replacement every 1-3 months. Masks: cushions or seals every ~3-6 months depending on use.

Q5: What is warranty/support like in India?
ResMed India provides warranty, authorised support centres, and access to spare parts. Ensure purchase through authorised dealer for genuine warranty.
