ResMed VPAP Adapt SV High Leak Alert, Insufficient Pressure Support Alarm, Flow Blocked Alarm

Page 27

High Leak Alert

Triggered by:

•high mask leak (greater than 30 L/min) for more than 20 seconds

•the mask being removed while SmartStop is disabled.

If a high leak alert sounds:

•adjust the mask to minimize leak

•check that the air tube and sensor tube are connected properly.

Will stop when:

•the mask leak has been rectified.

Note: The High Leak alert can be turned off in the Leak Alert option in the Settings menu.

Insufficient Pressure Support Alarm

Triggered by:

•air pressure at the mask has failed to reach an expected level for 3 breaths

•the Air Circuit Learn function (page 21) has not been run after adding a new component (eg, new mask, humidifier) to the system.

If an insufficient pressure support alarm sounds:

•check that the pressure sensor tubing is not kinked

•check that the pressure sensor tubing is properly connected

•run LEARN CIRCUIT.

Will stop when:

•the pressure sensor tubing is unobstructed and properly connected to the flow generator and mask

•treatment is stopped (Start/Stop key or SmartStop)

•the VPAP Adapt SV is turned off.

Flow Blocked Alarm

Triggered by:

•blockage in air circuit.

If a flow blocked alarm sounds:

1.The treatment will stop.

2.Turn power off.

3.Check whether there is a blockage in the air circuit.

4.Remove blockage.

5.Turn power back on.

6.If the flow blocked alarm activates repeatedly, discontinue use and return to ResMed for servicing. If the alarm does not recur, then continue to use as normal.

VPAP Adapt SV specifications

The ResMed VPAP Adapt SV is a cutting-edge device designed to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from complex sleep apnea conditions, including central and obstructive sleep apnea. It combines advanced technology with user-friendly features to provide effective therapy while ensuring maximum comfort for users.

A standout feature of the VPAP Adapt SV is its Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) algorithm. This proprietary technology continuously monitors a patient’s breathing patterns and adjusts the airflow accordingly. By providing just the right amount of pressure support during inhalation and maintaining a minimal backup rate during exhalation, the device ensures optimal ventilation while minimizing the risk of over-ventilation. This responsiveness is crucial for patients who may experience fluctuating airway resistance and varying degrees of respiratory events.

The VPAP Adapt SV is equipped with a sophisticated data management system that tracks treatment progress in real time. It automatically collects information about usage, leak rates, and overall pressure settings, which can be easily accessed and reviewed by healthcare providers. This data-driven approach facilitates personalized treatment adjustments, empowering both patients and clinicians to make informed decisions.

Comfort is enhanced through various design features, including a quiet operation mechanism that minimizes noise disruption during sleep. The device offers a range of pressure settings that can be tailored to individual needs, allowing for a comfortable therapeutic experience. The VPAP Adapt SV is compatible with ResMed’s range of CPAP masks, which are ergonomically designed to fit securely without compromising comfort.

Another notable characteristic is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies the setup and adjustments needed for optimal therapy. Patients can easily navigate through various options on the bright display screen, making it accessible for users of all ages.

Additionally, the VPAP Adapt SV’s compact design makes it a portable option for those who travel frequently. It comes with a carrying case and can operate on both AC and DC power sources, ensuring that patients can maintain their therapy wherever they go.

In conclusion, the ResMed VPAP Adapt SV represents a significant advancement in respiratory therapy. With its Adaptive Servo-Ventilation technology, comprehensive data management, and focus on patient comfort, it provides a holistic approach to managing complex sleep apnea, making it a preferred choice for healthcare providers and patients alike.
