Below are general warnings and cautions. Further specific warnings, cautions and notes appear next to the relevant instructions in the manual.

WARNINGS

! • The VPAP Adapt SV is NOT a life support ventilator.

• The entire manual should be read before using the VPAP Adapt SV.

• Advice contained in this manual should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician.

• The VPAP Adapt SV should be used with masks and accessories recommended by ResMed or the prescribing physician. Use of incorrect masks and accessories may adversely affect the function of the

VPAP Adapt SV.

• The VPAP Adapt SV is designed for use with masks that allow exhaled gases to be flushed out through vent holes. Exhaled gases will be rebreathed if the mask is worn with the machine turned off, or the vent holes are occluded. If this occurs over prolonged periods, suffocation may occur.

• In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask.

• The air flow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11ºF (6ºC ) higher than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is warmer than 90ºF (32ºC).

• The VPAP Adapt SV can be set to deliver pressures up to 25 cm H2O. In the unlikely event of certain fault conditions, pressures of up to 40 cm H2O for less than one second are possible.

• The VPAP Adapt SV is not suitable for use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.

• If oxygen is used with the VPAP Adapt SV, the oxygen flow should be stopped when the device is not operating. If oxygen flow continues when the device is not operating, oxygen may accumulate within the device and create a risk of fire.

• Do not use the VPAP Adapt SV if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in performance.

• Do not open the VPAP Adapt SV case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized service agent.

CAUTIONS

! You should report unusual chest pain, severe headache or increased breathlessness to your physician. An acute upper respiratory tract infection may require temporary discontinuation of treatment.

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.
