Introduction

The ResMed Lumis 150 VPAP ST Tripack is a cutting-edge ventilatory support device designed for patients needing stable and responsive therapy. It combines multiple modes (ST, T, iVAPS, CPAP), intelligent AutoEPAP, and a bundled humidifier setup to support breathing disorders like sleep apnea, COPD, or restrictive lung disease. Built for comfort and flexibility, it’s ideal for usage at home, hospitals, or during travel, with ResMed’s service & warranty support across India.

Features

iVAPS (Intelligent Volume Assured Pressure Support)
Adjusts pressure support automatically to maintain target alveolar ventilation, which helps reduce work of breathing and improves ventilation in changing respiratory demands.
AutoEPAP
Automatically adjusts EPAP to keep the upper airway open, reducing obstruction events without manual intervention. Good for obstructive sleep apnea where airway collapse is an issue.
Multiple Modes (ST, S, T, CPAP)
Offers flexibility: spontaneous (S), timed (T), spontaneous/timed (ST) backup, plus CPAP mode. Suitable for patients with mixed apnea or varying respiratory drive.
Backup Rate (iBR)
Provides timed breaths when spontaneous breathing rate falls below a set threshold, crucial for ensuring minimum ventilation in conditions like hypoventilation or neuromuscular weakness.
Tripack Bundle with Humidifier & Accessories
The Tripack option typically includes the main unit + humidifier + necessary tubing/mask setup, offering ready-to-use therapy with reduced setup cost.
Alarms & Safety Features
Built in alarms for pressure drop, disconnection, high leak etc., for safe use especially in home settings. Certified for non-invasive ventilation.

Benefits & Use Cases

Benefits

Supports ventilation stability with intelligent automation (iVAPS, AutoEPAP), reducing manual adjustments.
Higher comfort through heated humidification and responsive backup rate to avoid breath pauses.
Flexible modes allow tailoring to disease type (OSA, COPD, central apnea).
Enhances compliance via automated features and simpler mask/tubing bundles.
ResMed’s warranty & local support increases reliability, spare parts availability in India.

Use Cases

Sleep Apnea (OSA): For patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive events where airway collapses, AutoEPAP + ST mode helps reduce events and improve sleep quality.
COPD / Chronic Respiratory Disease: Offers pressure support to reduce work of breathing, humidification reduces throat/nasal dryness common in Indian climate.
Patients with Hypoventilation or Central Apnea: ST mode plus intelligent backup rate ensures ventilation even when spontaneous breathing weakens.
Home & Hospital Care: With alarms and safety features, can be used safely by caregivers; Tripack reduces need for multiple purchases.

FAQs

Q1: What is iVAPS and how does it help?
iVAPS (Intelligent Volume Assured Pressure Support) ensures your ventilation adjusts to reach a target alveolar volume. It means fewer manual tweaks, more stable breathing, especially during changes in lung compliance or breathing effort.

Q2: Will AutoEPAP keep my airway open automatically?
Yes. AutoEPAP monitors your upper airway and adjusts EPAP pressure to reduce obstructive events, making therapy more comfortable without constant manual changes.

Q3: Is this device safe for home use in India?
Yes. It includes safety alarms, is certified for non-invasive ventilation, and with authorised ResMed India support you can access parts, service & warranty.

Q4: How soon can I start using it after unpacking?
Very quickly. Tripack includes humidifier, mask & tubing. Fit the mask, plug in humidifier, set prescribed modes and backup rate — an expert or sleep specialist will help during first setup.

Q5: What if I travel or face power cuts?
Portable enough for travel; keep spare mask and parts. Use UPS or power backup to avoid therapy disruption. Some dealers offer carry case options.
