HOW TO USE THE S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT

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

SET UP THE S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT

1Place the S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT 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 AutoSet Spirit 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 1.5 m away from, or at least 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 17). The S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT is now ready for use (D-4).
