Starting therapy

CAUTION

The Clinical mode is only for clinicians. If the device is operating in clinical mode press the power switch to re-start the device in patient mode .

1Fit your patient interface (mask or catheter mount) as described in the user instructions.

2Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your sleep or arrange the tubing so it is comfortable in your wheelchair.

3To start treatment, press or if the SmartStart/Stop function is enabled, simply breathe into your patient interface and treatment will begin.

Stopping therapy

You can stop therapy at any time, simply remove the patient interface and press to stop airflow or if SmartStart/Stop is enabled, simply remove the patient interface, and treatment will stop automatically.

Notes:

SmartStop may not work if Full face or Trach is selected as mask type; the High Leak alarm or the Low Min Vent alarm is enabled; “Confirm Therapy Stop“ is enabled; or the mask-fitting feature is running.

When the device is stopped and operating in standby mode with an integrated humidifier connected, it will continue to blow air gently to assist cooling of the humidifier’s heater plate.

Masks with high resistance (eg, paediatric masks) may cause the operation of the SmartStop feature to be restricted.

When using with oxygen, turn off oxygen flow before stopping therapy.
