Starting

1Connect the air tubing to the mask and flow generator. Switch the main power switch at the rear of the unit to on (I). (See section 3, Preparing for use.)

The unit will either be in standby mode (as indicated by the light above the STOP button) or it will start operating – depending on whether the unit was in standby or operating when it was last switched off at the rear.

If the unit starts operating, •press the STOP button to put the unit in standby.

2Fit the mask to your face (see section 4, Fitting the mask).

3Settle down in bed and adjust the air tubing so it is free to move with you if you turn in your sleep. Do not leave long lengths of tubing around the top of your bed which could twist around your head or neck while sleeping. You may bring the tubing over the top of your headboard to reduce drag on the mask. Or you may prefer to run it across your shoulder.

You are now ready to start the flow generator.

Adjust the air tubing – try both ways and

select whichever is more comfortable

Using the START button

Start the flow generator by pressing the START button. The pressure will rise quickly to your set pressures – the IPAP and EPAP pressures prescribed by your physician and set by the sleep clinic staff or your equipment supplier.

Comfort specifications

ResMed Comfort is a premier choice for individuals seeking an effective solution for their sleep apnea and other respiratory issues. The device is designed to enhance the user experience while providing substantial therapeutic benefits. At the core of ResMed Comfort is its innovative technology that focuses on improving airflow and reducing disturbances during sleep.

One of the standout features of the ResMed Comfort is its Adaptive Airflow technology. This system continuously monitors the user’s breathing patterns and makes real-time adjustments to deliver the optimal level of pressure. This responsiveness ensures that patients receive the precise amount of air pressure they need, minimizing the risk of mask leaks and discomfort.

The device is equipped with an integrated humidifier that adds moisture to the airflow. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from dry mouth or nasal passages, making therapy more comfortable and less invasive. Moreover, the humidifier is designed to be easy to fill and clean, promoting hygiene and user convenience.

The ResMed Comfort also focuses on noise reduction, making it one of the quietest devices in its category. Patients can enjoy a restful night's sleep without the distraction of loud machinery or airflow sounds. This characteristic is especially crucial for couples, where one partner’s therapy should not disrupt the other’s rest.

Customization is another hallmark of the ResMed Comfort. Users can adjust various settings, including ramp time, which allows them to gradually acclimate to the prescribed pressure. The device's user-friendly interface and display make navigating these settings a breeze, ensuring that patients can tailor their therapy to their specific needs with ease.
