iii.While your HUMIDAIRE 3i is in Warm-Up mode you can:

•Start treatment at any time by pressing the Start/Stop key.

•Access the menus by pressing Menu (Left key).

•Stop the Warm-Up feature at any time by pressing Exit (Right key).

The Warm-Up feature will automatically turn off after 30 minutes if treatment has not started.

Turn the humidity control dial to the desired setting. The setting switches heated humidification off and delivers minimum humidification. The indicator light will remain lit to indicate standby mode. A setting of 6 ( ) delivers maximum humidification.

We recommend that you initially set the control dial to 3 ( ). If necessary, adjust the control dial up or down to find the setting that is most comfortable and effective for you. You can adjust the humidity setting at any time.

The aim is to have moist air delivered to your mask but to avoid condensation forming in the air tubing. The temperature and humidity of the surrounding air will affect the setting you need.

See “Frequently Asked Questions” for further tips on the correct humidity setting.

Fit your mask as described in your mask user instructions.

Press the Start/Stop key on the control panel. Alternatively, if your flow generator has the SmartStart™ function available, simply breathe into your mask and air should begin to flow.

Note: During operation, the indicator light becomes brighter to indicate that the heating element is active. Your HumidAire 3i has a rapid heating element which allows very short heating times. Do not be concerned if the light only brightens very briefly.

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

WARNING

Do not leave an excessive length of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.

STOPPING YOUR TREATMENT

To stop your treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key. Alternatively, if your flow generator has the SmartStart function available, simply remove your mask and treatment will end.

Some flow generators continue to blow air gently after you have stopped your treatment. This can continue for up to one hour to assist the heater plate in cooling. However, you can unplug the device from the power outlet at any time and allow the heater plate to cool without airflow.

3I specifications

ResMed 3i is a state-of-the-art automatic positive airway pressure (APAP) device designed to enhance the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It incorporates advanced technologies and user-friendly features, making it a noteworthy addition to modern respiratory therapy.

One of the most prominent features of ResMed 3i is its AutoSet algorithm, which is engineered to continuously monitor a patient's breathing patterns throughout the night. This innovative algorithm adjusts pressure levels in real time, delivering the exact pressure needed to keep the airway open. This not only ensures optimal therapy but also improves comfort, thereby increasing the likelihood of user adherence.

The ResMed 3i is equipped with a variety of comfort-enhancing features. These include expiratory pressure relief (EPR), which lowers the pressure during exhalation, making it easier for patients to breathe out. The device also features a ramp function that gradually increases the pressure over time, allowing patients to fall asleep more comfortably by minimizing any abrupt pressure changes during their initial sleep phase.

Portability is another significant characteristic of the ResMed 3i. Its compact design and lightweight build make it an ideal choice for travel, ensuring that patients can continue their therapy wherever they go. The unit also includes a sleek display that provides valuable data and feedback, such as usage hours and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), enabling users to track their treatment progress effectively.

Additionally, the ResMed 3i is compatible with several mask types and has an integrated humidifier option, which can further enhance patient comfort by adding moisture to the airflow. The device is also designed with quiet operation in mind, minimizing noise disturbances during the night.

In conclusion, the ResMed 3i stands out in the field of sleep apnea therapy due to its combination of advanced technological features, user-centric design, and portability. By adopting this device, patients benefit from an effective and comfortable way to manage their condition, which is essential for achieving better health outcomes. The personalized therapy options and ease of use make ResMed 3i a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their sleep quality and overall well-being while managing sleep apnea.
