SmartStart™

The VPAP III ST-A has a function called SmartStart which can be enabled by your clinician. If SmartStart is enabled, VPAP III ST-A will start automatically when you breathe into the mask and will stop automatically when you take your mask off. This means you do not have to press the Start/Stop key to begin or end treatment.

Note: If you select “Mir Full” as the mask option, SmartStop is automatically disabled. SmartStart may not work with a full face mask due to safety features of the mask.

When Mask Alarm is set to ON, SmartStart/Stop automatically reverts to OFF. SmartStop cannot be used with Mask Alarm because if a high leak occurs, SmartStop will stop treatment before the Mask Alarm signal is activated.
