Respiratory failure in my case meant that I was completely unable to breathe on my own. It could not be treated with bipap. Had to be done with life support on a ventilator. A bipap cannot treat a person who is unable to breathe at all on their own. So NO it is not life support.
Read up on the V60 and then come back when you know WTF you're talking about.

For that matter, read up on ANY Respironics BiPAP with a "T" suffix and then come back when you know WTF you're talking about.
