BiPAP machine buying guide 2026
How to compare VAuto, spontaneous and spontaneous/timed bilevel devices while keeping the prescription at the centre of the decision.
Updated 28 August 2026
BiPAP is a category, not one single mode
Bilevel devices deliver separate inspiratory and expiratory pressures, but their operating modes differ. A VAuto, S and ST model can serve different clinical requirements. The exact mode on the prescription matters more than the brand name or price.
Understand the model label
- VAuto: an automatic bilevel mode operating within clinician-set limits.
- S or spontaneous bilevel: provides prescribed pressure support in response to the user’s spontaneous breathing.
- ST or spontaneous/timed: adds a timed backup-rate function when specifically prescribed.
These descriptions are a purchasing guide, not instructions for setting therapy. Do not substitute one mode for another without the treating clinician’s approval.

Practical buying checklist
- Match the full model and mode to the prescription.
- Confirm whether a humidifier, heated tube and mask are included.
- Select the mask model and size carefully.
- Check replacement filters and tubing for that exact platform.
- Arrange clinical setup through the appropriate provider; do not copy settings from another device.
