STOPPING TREATMENT
To stop treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key or
if your clinician has enabled SmartStart, simply remove your mask and treatment will end.
USING THE MASK-FITTING FEATURE
You can use the S8 AUTOSET SPIRIT mask-fitting feature to help you fit your mask properly. This feature delivers air pressure for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment, during which you can check and adjust your mask fit to minimise leaks.
Note: Make sure that the mask setting on the MASK screen is the same as the mask you are using.
To use the mask-fitting feature:
1Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.
2Hold down the Start/Stop key for at least three seconds until air pressure delivery starts.
The following display will appear on the LCD screen indicating that the mask-fitting feature is operating. Your S8 device will ramp to the mask-fit pressure and will remain at this pressure for three minutes.
The LCD also displays a mask-fit star rating. See “Definitions of Mask-Fit Star Rating” on page 10.
Note: The mask-fit star rating display disappears after three minutes.
The mask-fitting feature can only be started from the RAMP or SETTLING screen.
In AutoSet mode, the mask-fit pressure is the highest pressure that you are likely to receive based on the previous night’s session or 10 cmH2O, whichever is greater.
In CPAP mode, the mask-fit pressure is the set treatment pressure or 10 cmH20, whichever is greater.
3Adjust your mask, mask cushion and headgear until you have a secure and comfortable fit.
Once you have a secure and comfortable fit, check your mask-fit star rating on the LCD screen. Table 4 explains the mask-fit star ratings.
Note: If there is another person nearby to check your mask-fit star rating, you can adjust your mask, mask cushion and headgear while lying down.
