Stopping Treatment

To stop treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Front key

or

if your clinician has enabled the SmartStart function, simply remove your mask and treatment will end (SmartStop is not applicable with the "Mir Full" mask setting).

Using the HumidAire 2i Warm-Up Feature

If using a HumidAire 2i with the VPAP, you can use the Warm-Up feature to pre-heat the water in the humidifier prior to starting treatment.

After stopping treatment, the VPAP will continue to blow air gently to assist cooling of the heater plate.

See the HumidAire 2i User’s Manual for further details.

Using the Mask-Fitting Feature

The VPAP Mask-Fitting feature can be used to help you fit your mask properly. The mask-fitting feature delivers air pressure for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment, for checking and adjusting your mask fit to minimise leaks. If a Ramp time is selected, the mask can be adjusted at a pressure closer to the prescribed pressure. To use the mask-fitting feature:

1.Fit your mask as described in the user instructions.

2.Hold down the Front key for at least three seconds until air pressure delivery starts.

The following display will appear on the LCD screen indicating that the Mask-Fitting feature is in operation. The flow generator will ramp to the Mask-Fit pressure and will remain at this pressure for three minutes. A Mask-Fit star rating is also displayed. See “Definitions of Mask-Fit Star Rating” on page 15.

•The Mask-Fitting feature can only be started from the VPAP (or Ramp) screen.

•The Mask-Fit pressure is the set treatment pressure or 10 cm H20, whichever is greater.

3.Adjust your mask, mask cushion and headgear until you have a secure and comfortable fit.
