•If liquids are inadvertently spilled into or on the HUMIDAIRE 3i docking station, unplug the CPAP device from the power outlet. Disconnect the docking station from the CPAP device and allow the docking station to drain and dry before using.

•Do not operate the HUMIDAIRE 3i if the CPAP device has a damaged power cord or plug.

•Do not operate the HUMIDAIRE 3i if it is not working properly or if any part of it has been dropped or damaged.

•Keep the CPAP device power cord away from heated surfaces.

•Do not drop or insert any object into any opening or tubes.

•Do not use the HUMIDAIRE 3i in the presence of flammable or explosive materials.

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

•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, turn off the flow generator, then 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. This applies to most types of CPAP machines.

•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while you are smoking or in the presence of an open flame.

•Always ensure airflow is being generated by the device before the oxygen supply is turned on.

•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, the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate.

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.
