DreamStation

DreamStation is a brand of sleep apnea devices manufactured by Philips Respironics, a division of Philips. The DreamStation line includes a range of positive airway pressure (PAP) devices, such as CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), APAP (automatic positive airway pressure), and BiPAP (bi-level positive airway pressure) machines. These devices are designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea by delivering pressurized air through a mask, keeping the user's airway open during sleep.

The DreamStation devices are known for their user-friendly interfaces, lightweight design, and connectivity features that allow for remote monitoring of therapy data. Many models incorporate features like ramp-up, which gradually increases air pressure, and humidification to improve comfort. The devices also offer various mask options to suit individual needs.

In 2021, Philips Respironics initiated a significant recall of certain DreamStation models and other PAP devices due to concerns about a sound abatement foam component degrading and potentially entering the airway. This recall led to widespread disruptions in the availability of these devices and ongoing efforts by Philips to remediate the issue and provide replacement units. The recall has impacted many users and healthcare providers globally.
