Settings Menu
You will only see the options relevant to your therapy. In CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) mode, the clinician sets a pressure that will be constant throughout treatment. In ASV mode, the VPAP Adapt SV continually measures your breathing and regulates the air pressure accordingly.
Mask
Select the type of mask that you will be using (you will only need to adjust this if you have more than one mask). The following table shows the setting that should be selected for each mask type. If your mask type is not mentioned
below, please contact your clinician. Not all mask types can be used with the VPAP Adapt SV.

Learn Circuit
The Air Circuit Learn function takes approximately 20 seconds to run. It allows the unit to ’learn’ what pressure it needs to build in to its calculations, based on the components in the system. Select LEARN CIRCUIT every time you add or remove a component (eg, mask, humidifier) or move to a significantly different altitude.
To run this function:
1.Set up the entire VPAP Adapt SV system (flow generator, mask, humidifier etc.) as you wish to use it.
2.Make sure that the mask is unobstructed so air can flow from the mask to the flow generator.
3.Turn on the VPAP Adapt SV at the power switch.
4.Move through the menus until you reach LEARN CIRCUIT and select ’yes’ by pressing the Left key.
5.A message will remind you to check that the airflow from the mask is clear. Select ’start’ with the Left key.
6.A progress screen is displayed while the Air Circuit Learn function is running.
