Nota: A un caudal fijo de oxígeno suplementario, la concentración de oxígeno inhalado variará según el punto por el cual éste se introduzca, los parámetros de presión, el ritmo respiratorio del paciente, la selección de la mascarilla y el nivel de fuga.

•Peligro de explosión: no utilizar cerca de anestésicos inflamables.

•No abra la carcasa del S8 Serie II. No hay piezas dentro que el usuario pueda reparar. Las reparaciones y el mantenimiento interno deben ser efectuados únicamente por un agente de servicio técnico autorizado.

Una precaución explica medidas especiales a tomar para el uso seguro y eficaz del equipo.

•Si las presiones son bajas, el flujo de aire a través de los puertos de espiración de la mascarilla puede no ser suficiente para eliminar del tubo todos los gases espirados. Es posible que se vuelva a respirar parte del aire espirado.

•El flujo de aire generado por este equipo para la respiración puede alcanzar una temperatura de hasta 6ºC (11ºF) superior a la temperatura ambiente. Hay que tomar precauciones si la temperatura ambiente es superior a 32ºC (90ºF).

•Cuando utilice alimentación de CC, use siempre el transformador DC-12 de ResMed. (El transformador DC-12 se puede obtener como accesorio opcional. No se suministra con todos los modelos.) El equipo no debe conectarse a fuentes de alimentación de CA y de CC de modo simultáneo.

Nota: Las anteriores son advertencias y precauciones generales. Las advertencias, precauciones y notas particulares aparecen en el presente manual del usuario junto a las instrucciones pertinentes.

S8 ELITETM II, S8 AUTOSETTM II specifications

ResMed is a leading name in the field of sleep therapy, and its S8 line of devices, including the S8 AUTOSETTM II and S8 ELITETM II, reflects the company's commitment to innovation and patient care. These continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices are designed specifically for individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), providing effective therapy while ensuring comfort and ease of use.

The S8 AUTOSETTM II is particularly noteworthy for its automatic adjustment capabilities. This device continuously monitors the patient's breathing patterns and adjusts the pressure levels throughout the night, ensuring optimal airflow and comfort. The AUTOSET algorithm intelligently responds to changes in the airway resistance, providing just the right amount of pressure needed at any given moment. This adaptability not only enhances therapy effectiveness but also increases patient comfort by minimizing air pressure fluctuations.

On the other hand, the S8 ELITETM II serves as a more traditional CPAP model, offering fixed pressure settings that can be tailored to the individual patient’s needs. This device is known for its reliability and user-friendly design. The S8 ELITE features a comprehensive data tracking system that helps patients and healthcare providers monitor therapy progress. With its clear LCD screen, users can easily navigate through various settings and access important information about their therapy.

Both models incorporate ResMed's innovative Easy-Breathe technology, designed to make the breathing experience feel more natural. This technology mimics the user's own breathing patterns, providing a smoother transition when inhaling and exhaling. This is particularly beneficial for new CPAP users who may find traditional devices uncomfortable.

Another notable characteristic of the S8 series is its compact and portable design. Weighing only a few pounds, these devices are lightweight and easy to transport, making them ideal for travel. They are equipped with a range of features intended to enhance user convenience, such as a built-in humidifier to maintain moisture during therapy and a simple, intuitive interface for easy adjustments.

In summary, the ResMed S8 AUTOSETTM II and S8 ELITETM II devices exemplify the strengths of modern sleep therapy technology. With advanced features such as automatic pressure adjustments, data tracking, and user-friendly design, they are pivotal in helping individuals manage their obstructive sleep apnea effectively. Users can enjoy a good night’s sleep with increased comfort and peace of mind, knowing they are receiving high-quality care tailored to their needs.
