WARNINGS

•Read the entire manual before using the device.

•Use the device only as directed by your physician or healthcare provider.

•Use the device only for the intended use as described in this manual. Advice contained in this manual should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician.

•If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, if the device or the power supply are dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, discontinue use and contact your ResMed Service Center.

•Beware of electrocution. Do not immerse the device, humidifier, power supply or power cord in water. In the event of a spill, disconnect the device from the power supply and let the parts dry. Always unplug the device before cleaning and make sure that all parts are dry before plugging in the device.

•Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.

•Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.

•Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.

•The device should only be used with masks (and connectors1) recommended by ResMed, or by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure that the device is blowing air. The vent hole or holes associated with the mask should never be blocked.

Explanation: The device is intended to be used with special masks (or connectors) which have vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. However, when the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most models of CPAP or bilevel devices.

•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.

•Always ensure that the device is turned on and airflow generated before the oxygen supply is turned on. Always turn the oxygen supply off before the device is turned off, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.

•Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.

1. Ports may be incorporated into the mask or in connectors that are near the mask.

AutoSet CS, S9 Auto 25, VPAP S specifications

ResMed, a leader in sleep and respiratory care, has developed a range of advanced devices designed to enhance the quality of life for those suffering from sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions. Among these, the ResMed AutoSet CS, S9 Auto 25, and VPAP S stand out due to their innovative features and technologies aimed at providing personalized therapy.

The ResMed AutoSet CS is engineered to offer adaptive therapy for patients facing complex sleep apnea. This device utilizes advanced algorithms that continuously assess the patient’s breathing patterns throughout the night. By analyzing flow limitation, apnea, and hypopnea events in real time, it adjusts the pressure delivered to ensure optimal airflow. The AutoSet CS is particularly beneficial for those who experience varying levels of airway obstruction, providing a tailored response that improves overall comfort and efficacy.

The S9 Auto 25 is another remarkable device, distinguished by its user-friendly interface and sleek design. This auto-titrating CPAP device automatically adjusts pressure levels based on the patient’s needs throughout the night. It incorporates ResMed’s QuietAir technology, ensuring a quieter operation, which promotes a peaceful sleep environment. Additionally, the S9 Auto 25 features an integrated humidification system that delivers moisture to the airflow, preventing dryness and irritation, which are common complaints among CPAP users.

The VPAP S represents ResMed’s commitment to providing bi-level positive airway pressure therapy. It offers two distinct pressure settings: one for inhalation and a lower setting for exhalation. This dual-pressure mechanism allows for a more natural breathing experience, particularly beneficial for those with more severe forms of apnea. The VPAP S also features Easy-Breathe technology, which smooths out pressure transitions, making it easier for patients to breathe naturally and comfortably through the night.

Key characteristics shared by these devices include advanced data tracking and reporting capabilities. Users can access valuable insights into their therapy through user-friendly interfaces or companion apps, facilitating better management of their condition. Each model is designed with portability in mind, ensuring patients can receive effective therapy whether at home or on the go. With ResMed’s commitment to innovation, the AutoSet CS, S9 Auto 25, and VPAP S are pivotal in transforming the landscape of sleep apnea treatment, providing patients with effective, comfortable, and adaptable therapy solutions.
