The BiPAP and CPAP machines are intended to aid a patient’s breathing during sleep and are used for health conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure. Some of the machine’s masks — DreamWisp, DreamWear, Amara View, Wisp and Wisp Youth — should not be worn by people with metallic objects in their body, such as shrapnel, or be used near bed partners with implanted metallic devices.
