Messages on the S8 Series II LCD

Your clinician may have set your S8 Series II device to remind you about important events, such as when to replace your mask, when to insert your Data Card (if your device is Data Card enabled) and so on.

The reminder message is displayed on the LCD and is visible if the device is not delivering therapy. The backlight on the LCD flashes when a message is displayed. Your clinician can set any of the following reminders on your LCD:

Using the Data Card to Collect Data

If your clinician needs to review your treatment, they will ask you to use the Data Card to copy data from your S8 Series II, and to return the card to them. The Data Card will be provided in a protective folder.

Data that is copied to a Data Card is still stored and available on the S8 Series II device.

Copy Data onto the Data Card

1Switch on the S8 Series II and wait until you see the standby (Ramp) screen.

2Hold the Data Card with the arrow facing up and insert it into the Data Card slot until it stops. Data copying starts automatically.

The “Card Inserted Please Wait” message is displayed on the S8 Series II LCD while data is being copied. Copying takes approximately five seconds.

The “Copy Complete Remove Card” message is displayed on the LCD when copying has finished.

s8 specifications

The ResMed S8 Escape is a highly regarded CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device designed for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Known for its reliability and user-friendly features, the S8 Escape is part of ResMed’s S8 series, which combines advanced technologies with an emphasis on patient comfort.

One of the standout features of the S8 Escape is its AutoRamp technology, which helps patients gradually transition into their prescribed pressure settings. Instead of starting at the full pressure immediately, AutoRamp begins at a lower pressure, allowing users to fall asleep comfortably before automatically increasing to the prescribed level. This feature significantly improves the overall user experience as it reduces anxiety associated with the use of CPAP devices.

The S8 Escape also boasts a built-in air filter that enhances air quality and protects the device from dust and other particulates. Additionally, the device is designed for whisper-quiet operation, ensuring that users can sleep soundly without the disruption of noise, which can be a common issue with less advanced models. This creates a more peaceful sleeping environment, both for the user and their bed partner.

Another important characteristic of the S8 Escape is its compact design and lightweight build. It is easily portable, making it an ideal choice for both home use and travel. The device also features a user-friendly interface, with a simple LCD screen that displays essential information such as pressure settings and therapy time. This allows users to track their usage and monitor their therapy progress conveniently.

The S8 Escape offers various pressure settings and is compatible with a wide range of masks, ensuring that users can find the right fit for their individual needs. The device’s advanced monitoring capabilities also help in providing feedback on therapy effectiveness, allowing healthcare professionals to adjust settings if necessary.

In summary, the ResMed S8 Escape is a highly functional and patient-friendly CPAP device, featuring advanced technologies designed to enhance the user experience. Its AutoRamp technology, quiet operation, and compact design make it a popular choice among individuals dealing with obstructive sleep apnea.
