Using the Data Card to Collect data

If your clinician needs to review your treatment, they will ask you to use the Data Card to copy data from your S8 Lightweight II, and to return the card to them. The Data Card will be provided in a protective folder.

Data that is copied to a Data Card is still stored and available on the S8 Lightweight II.

Copy data onto the Data Card

1.Switch on the S8 Lightweight II and wait until you see the standby (Ramp) screen.

2.Hold the Data Card with the arrow facing up and insert it into the Data Card slot until it stops. Data copying starts automatically.

The “Card Inserted Please Wait” message is displayed on the S8 Lightweight II LCD while data is being copied. Copying takes approximately five seconds. The “Copy Complete Remove Card” message is displayed on the LCD when copying has finished.

3.Remove the Data Card by gripping the end of the Data Card and pulling it out.

4.Store the Data Card in its protective folder when not in use.

5.Return the card in its protective folder to your clinician using a postal envelope.

Using the Data Card to Update Settings

If your clinician has provided a Data Card with new device settings:

1.With the device in standby (Ramp) mode, insert the Data Card into the slot on the Data Card module. Updating will start automatically.

The “Card Inserted Please Wait” message is displayed on the LCD while updating is in progress. Updating takes approximately five seconds.

The “Settings Success Remove Card” message is displayed on the LCD if the settings were updated successfully.

Note: This message only appears once. If you re-insert the Data Card after you have updated your settings, this message is not displayed.

2.Remove the Data Card from the S8 Lightweight II.

3.Store the Data Card in its protective folder when not in use.

s8 specifications

The ResMed S8 Escape is a highly regarded CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device designed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Known for its reliability and user-friendly features, the S8 Escape is part of ResMed’s S8 series, which combines advanced technologies with an emphasis on patient comfort.

One of the standout features of the S8 Escape is its AutoRamp technology, which helps patients gradually transition into their prescribed pressure settings. Instead of starting at the full pressure immediately, AutoRamp begins at a lower pressure, allowing users to fall asleep comfortably before automatically increasing to the prescribed level. This feature significantly improves the overall user experience as it reduces anxiety associated with the use of CPAP devices.

The S8 Escape also boasts a built-in air filter that enhances air quality and protects the device from dust and other particulates. Additionally, the device is designed for whisper-quiet operation, ensuring that users can sleep soundly without the disruption of noise, which can be a common issue with less advanced models. This creates a more peaceful sleeping environment, both for the user and their bed partner.

Another important characteristic of the S8 Escape is its compact design and lightweight build. It is easily portable, making it an ideal choice for both home use and travel. The device also features a user-friendly interface, with a simple LCD screen that displays essential information such as pressure settings and therapy time. This allows users to track their usage and monitor their therapy progress conveniently.

The S8 Escape offers various pressure settings and is compatible with a wide range of masks, ensuring that users can find the right fit for their individual needs. The device’s advanced monitoring capabilities also help in providing feedback on therapy effectiveness, allowing healthcare professionals to adjust settings if necessary.

In summary, the ResMed S8 Escape is a highly functional and patient-friendly CPAP device, featuring advanced technologies designed to enhance the user experience. Its AutoRamp technology, quiet operation, and compact design make it a popular choice among individuals dealing with obstructive sleep apnea.
