HOW TO USE THE S8 ELITE

Please refer to the illustrations in section D of the illustration sheet.

SET UP THE S8 ELITE

1Place the S8 ELITE on a table near the head of your bed.

CAUTION

! Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over the power cord.

Note: You can also place your S8 Elite on the floor beside or underneath your bed. Ensure that the area is free from dust and clear of bedding, clothes, or any other objects that could block the air inlet.

2Connect the power cord to the socket at the rear of the flow generator (D-1). Plug the other end of the power cord into the power outlet.

WARNING

! Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.

3Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet (D-2).

WARNING

! • Only ResMed air tubing should be used with your flow generator. A different type of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive, reducing the effectiveness of your treatment.

• Blocking the air inlet or tubing while in operation could lead to overheating of the device.

• In the clinical environment any personal computer that is used with your CPAP system must be at least 5’ (1.5 m) away from, or at least 8’ (2.5 m) above, the patient. It must also comply with the relevant test standard. For personal computers the international standard is IEC 60950 or equivalent.

ASSEMBLE THE MASK

1Assemble your mask system according to the mask user instructions.

2Connect your mask system to the free end of the air tubing (D-3).

3Check that the mask setting on the MASK screen is the one recommended for the mask you are using (see the table in “How to Select the Mask Type” on page 18). The S8 ELITE is now ready for use (D-4).

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.
