S8 MODULES

Note: Do not remove modules while power is connected to the S8 Elite.

Your S8 ELITE will have one of two modules fitted to the back: a blank module or a RESSCAN Data Card module.

USING A BLANK MODULE

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

The blank module is a protective cover on your S8 ELITE. At times, you may wish to remove or attach the module, for example to use another module.

To remove the blank module, pull it off the back of the S8 ELITE to show the data communications port (F-1).

To attach the blank module, push the blank module onto the data communications port, until the module clicks into place (F-2).

Note: To protect the data communications port, always ensure there is a module attached to the back of the device.

USING A RESSCAN DATA CARD MODULE

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

The RESSCAN Data Card module is an accessory to the S8 ELITE. Use a RESSCAN Data Card with the Data Card module to collect data and update settings in the S8 ELITE. The module and card give your clinician convenient access to data about your treatment, and can provide you with new device settings from your clinician without your having to leave home.

ATTACHING THE MODULE

To attach the Data Card module, push it onto the data communications port at the back of your S8 ELITE until it clicks into place (G-1).

REMOVING THE MODULE

To remove the Data Card module, pull it off the back of the S8 ELITE (G-2).

Note: To protect the data communications port, always ensure there is a module attached to the device.

USING THE DATA CARD TO COLLECT DATA

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

If your clinician needs to review your treatment, they will ask you to use the Data Card to copy data from your S8 ELITE, and to return the card to them. The Data Card will be provided in a convenient mailback envelope.

Data that is copied to a Data Card is still stored and available on the S8 ELITE. It takes up to 30 seconds to copy data onto the Data Card.

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.
