HOW TO CHANGE THE RAMP TIME

During ramp time, the pressure increases from a low pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure. You can set the ramp time in 5-minute intervals, from 0 minutes (OFF) up to a maximum ramp time set by your clinician.

The standby screen displays the current ramp time in the right-hand corner. To change the ramp time, press the Up or Down key until the desired ramp time appears.

Once a ramp time is selected, begin therapy by pressing the Start/Stop key.

When ramping begins the LCD will display the word "RAMPING", with the current pressure indicated as dashes. Each dash is approximately equivalent to 2 cm H2O. For example, six dashes represents approximately 12 cm H2O pressure.

HOW TO CHANGE THE ALTITUDE SETTING

If you move or travel with your S8 ESCAPE to areas of different altitude, you will need to adjust the altitude compensation setting. Changes in altitude will affect the pressure delivered by the S8 ESCAPE.

You can use the Altitude setting (ALT) to specify the altitude range at which you are using your S8 ESCAPE. Select the S8 ESCAPE menu by pressing the Left key in the standby (RAMP) screen. Scroll to ALT and select Change (Left key). Press the Up or Down keys until you see the setting option that you require.

There are four altitude settings to choose from:

•0–2000ft (0–609 m)

•2001–4000ft (610–1219 m)

•4001–6000ft (1220–1828 m)

•6001–8500ft (1829–2591 m).

For example, if you are at an altitude of 3107’ (947 m), your altitude compensation setting would be 2001–4000ft (610–1219 m), as 3107’ (947 m) falls within that range.

Press the Left key (Apply) to select the correct setting.

HOW TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE SETTING

To display menus and messages in a different language, select the S8 ESCAPE menu by pressing the Left key in the standby (Ramp) screen. Scroll to LANG and select Change (Left key). Press the Up or Down keys until you see the language that you require.

OTHER VIEWABLE INFORMATION

You can also view the total number of hours of treatment (USED HRS); the number of sessions that the S8 ESCAPE was used in a usage period (USAGE); and the current software version installed on your unit (SW). Access to all of these screens is provided via the menu. See “How to enter the menu screens” on page 16.
