SETTING UP YOUR HUMIDAIRE 3i FOR USE

WARNING

! Make sure your flow generator is switched off at the power outlet before connecting the HumidAire 3i.

REMOVING THE FRONT CAP (IF FITTED)

Please refer to the illustrations in section B of the illustration sheet.

Your flow generator may be fitted with a front cap (B-1). Before you can attach the HUMIDAIRE 3i, press the button underneath the front cap (B-2)and pull it away from the body of your flow generator (B-3 & B-4).

Notes

•To replace the front cap, align it with your flow generator (B-4)and push it firmly until it clicks into place.

•Remember to take the front cap with you when travelling, in case you need CPAP therapy without a humidifier.

REMOVING AND STORING THE CONNECTOR PLUG

Please refer to the illustrations in section C of the illustration sheet.

Before attaching the HUMIDAIRE 3i, remove the connector plug from your flow generator (C-1)and attach it to the back of the docking station (C-2).

ATTACHING YOUR HUMIDAIRE 3i

Please refer to the illustrations in section D of the illustration sheet.

1Align your HUMIDAIRE 3i with your flow generator (D-1)and push them together until they click into place (D-2).

WARNING

! • The HumidAire 3i docking station should only be connected or disconnected when the water chamber is empty.

• Water must be prevented from entering your flow generator. Do not transport the flow generator with the HumidAire 3i attached.

2Insert the power cord into the socket at the rear of your flow generator. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet (D-3).

Note: If your flow generator is powered via the DC input, the HumidAire 3i is not powered and humidification output will be reduced.

3Place the combined unit on a firm, level surface near your bed at a level lower than your sleeping position. Ensure the surface is not sensitive to heat and/or moisture, or use a protective mat.

CAUTION

! Be careful not to place the unit where it can be bumped into and knocked over.

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.
