The following procedure describes the steps required to start therapy at the patient’s bedside using the S9 VPAP Tx. Once these steps are completed, S9 VPAP Tx can be remotely controlled from the EasyCare Tx software application on the PC.
1.Make sure power is connected.
2.Check the mask type is correct (see “Mask and air tubing settings” on page 10).
3.Fit the mask to patient, and adjust the mask and headgear to achieve optimal fit.
4.Perform mask fit (see “Mask Fit” on page 12).
Once therapy has started a treatment screen is displayed.
In order to assist the heater plate in cooling, the device will continue to blow air for up to an hour after treatment has stopped. However, you can unplug the device from the power outlet at any time and allow the heater plate to cool without air flow, or press to enable Power Save mode.
Note: If power is interrupted during treatment, the device automatically restarts therapy when power is restored.
