HOW TO CHANGE THE RAMP TIME

During ramp time, the pressure increases from a low pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure. You can set the ramp time in 5-minute intervals, from 0 minutes (OFF) up to a maximum ramp time set by your clinician.

The standby screen displays the current ramp time in the right-hand corner. To change the ramp time, press the Up or Down key until the desired ramp time appears.

Once a ramp time is selected, begin therapy by pressing the Start/Stop key.

When ramping begins the LCD will display the word "RAMPING", with the current pressure indicated as dashes. Each dash is approximately equivalent to 2 cm H2O. For example, six dashes represents approximately 12 cm H2O pressure.

HOW TO CHANGE THE ALTITUDE SETTING

If you move or travel with your S8 ESCAPE to areas of different altitude, you will need to adjust the altitude compensation setting. Changes in altitude will affect the pressure delivered by the S8 ESCAPE.

You can use the Altitude setting (ALT) to specify the altitude range at which you are using your S8 ESCAPE. Select the S8 ESCAPE menu by pressing the Left key in the standby (RAMP) screen. Scroll to ALT and select Change (Left key). Press the Up or Down keys until you see the setting option that you require.

There are four altitude settings to choose from:

•0–2000ft (0–609 m)

•2001–4000ft (610–1219 m)

•4001–6000ft (1220–1828 m)

•6001–8500ft (1829–2591 m).

For example, if you are at an altitude of 3107’ (947 m), your altitude compensation setting would be 2001–4000ft (610–1219 m), as 3107’ (947 m) falls within that range.

Press the Left key (Apply) to select the correct setting.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE SETTING

To display menus and messages in a different language, select the S8 ESCAPE menu by pressing the Left key in the standby (Ramp) screen. Scroll to LANG and select Change (Left key). Press the Up or Down keys until you see the language that you require.

OTHER VIEWABLE INFORMATION

You can also view the total number of hours of treatment (USED HRS); the number of sessions that the S8 ESCAPE was used in a usage period (USAGE); and the current software version installed on your unit (SW). Access to all of these screens is provided via the menu. See “How to enter the menu screens” on page 16.

S8 ESCAPE SYSTEM, 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.
