4Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet of your HUMIDAIRE 3i and the other end to your mask (D-4).

FILLING THE WATER CHAMBER

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

WARNING

! Take care when handling your HumidAire 3i. The water and the water chamber base may both be hot. Allow ten minutes for the heater plate and any excess water to cool.

1Release the cover latch (E-1)and lift the cover until it rests in the upright position (E-2).

2Remove the water chamber (E-3)and carefully fill it with fresh, clean water (E-4). Make sure you keep the level of the water under the maximum water level mark (E-4a).

Always ensure that the water chamber is clean. See “Cleaning and Maintenance” on page 10.

WARNING

! Do not overfill the water chamber, as water may enter your flow generator and air tubing.

CAUTION

! Do not use any additives (eg, scented oils and perfumes). They may reduce the humidification output of the HumidAire 3i and/or cause deterioration of the water chamber materials.

3Carefully place the filled water chamber into the humidifier docking station (E-5)and latch the cover (E-6).

The HUMIDAIRE 3i is now ready for use.

STARTING AND STOPPING TREATMENT

STARTING YOUR TREATMENT

Please refer to the illustration in section F of the illustration sheet.

1When your HUMIDAIRE 3i is attached and the flow generator is powered, the indicator light lights up on the HUMIDAIRE 3i. A prompt for the Warm-Up feature (not available on all models) may appear.

RAMP: 10min menu warmup

When activated, this feature allows the water to warm up before you start treatment.

2If the Warm-Up feature is available, use it to pre-heat the water before starting your treatment. Skip this step if you wish to start treatment immediately.

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.
