Xpap definition?

Post by UncleLeo » Sun Jan 28, 2007 11:43 am

I thought people used the term "xpap" as a generic term meaning cpap, apap, and bipap, all inclusive. But, I've since read in a couple places where people seem to mean something more specific with the term. Is it generic, or is it specific?

Generic. There are NO "XPAPS".

XPAP means any and all PAP equiptment types, It's not a new machine. Jim
