!General Warnings and Cautions

A warning alerts you to possible injury.

•Read the entire guide before using the Tango.

•The advice in this guide should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician.

•The Tango should only be used with masks (and connectors*) recommended by ResMed, or by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the Tango is turned on and operating properly. The vent hole or holes

associated with the mask should never be blocked.

Explanation: The Tango is intended for use with special masks (or connectors*) with vent holes allowing a 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. If the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air is provided through the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing exhaled air for longer than several minutes can sometimes lead to suffocation. If there is a power failure or the device machine malfunctions, remove the mask.

•The Tango can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cm H2O. In the unlikely event of certain fault conditions, pressures up to 30 cm H2O are possible.

•If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating. If oxygen has been left on while the device is not operating, disconnect the oxygen and wait 30 minutes before turning on the flow generator

again.

Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the CPAP machine enclosure and create a risk of fire.

•Oxygen supports combustion. Do not use oxygen while you are smoking or in the presence of an open flame.

•Always ensure air is flowing from the device before turning on the oxygen supply.

•Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping the airflow from the device.

Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on where the oxygen is introduced, pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate.

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

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

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

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

C-Series specifications

ResMed C-Series is a line of advanced medical devices designed to provide effective therapy for patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other respiratory conditions. Known for its cutting-edge technology and patient-friendly features, the C-Series stands out in the realm of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines.

One of the main features of the ResMed C-Series is its AutoSet technology, which automatically adjusts the pressure levels throughout the night based on the patient’s needs. This responsiveness ensures optimal therapy comfort and minimizes disturbances that can disrupt sleep. Patients benefit from a personalized treatment experience that adapts as their conditions change.

The C-Series also incorporates a quiet operation mode, significantly reducing noise levels compared to traditional CPAP machines. This is particularly beneficial for couples, allowing for peaceful sleep without the distraction of machine noise. Additionally, the C-Series boasts an intuitive user interface with a bright LCD screen, making it easy for patients to navigate settings and access key information about their therapy.

Comfort is a priority in the design of the C-Series. The device supports a range of mask options, including nasal and full-face masks, allowing patients to choose the most comfortable fit for their individual needs. Moreover, the built-in HumidAir integrated humidifier helps maintain optimal humidity levels during therapy, reducing discomfort associated with dry air.

Another cornerstone of the C-Series is its advanced data tracking capabilities. The device records essential metrics such as adherence, mask fit, and leak levels, which can be accessed easily through the ResMed myAir app. This connectivity empowers patients to take an active role in their care, while also enabling healthcare providers to monitor progress remotely.

Durability and portability are additional characteristics of the C-Series. Its compact design makes it travel-friendly, allowing users to maintain their therapy routine while on the go. The device is also built with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance, making it a wise investment for long-term health.

In summary, the ResMed C-Series is a leading choice for those seeking effective sleep apnea treatment. With its innovative features, user-centric design, and advanced technology, patients can expect a comfortable, quiet, and responsive therapy experience that can significantly improve their quality of life.
