CAUTION
Supplemental oxygen
Supplemental oxygen can be used with the S9 VPAP Tx. For more information, see “Adding supplemental oxygen” on page 22.
Antibacterial filters
Antibacterial filters increase resistance in the air circuit and may affect accuracy of displayed and delivered pressure, particularly at high flows. ResMed has tested and recommends using an antibacterial filter with a low impedance (eg, 2 cm H2O at 60 L/min).
Humidifier
The S9 VPAP Tx is compatible with the H5i heated humidifier. For further information on using this humidifier refer to the H5i user guide.
USB Adapter
The S9 USB Adapter is designed for use with the S9 VPAP Tx. The USB adapter connects the S9 VPAP Tx to a personal computer via Tx Link for remote monitoring and control. For further information on using this adapter refer to the S9 USB Adapter user guide.
Climate Control
The S9 VPAP Tx, when used in conjunction with the H5i and ClimateLine or ClimateLineMAX heated air tubing, offers a feature called Climate Control.
Climate Control enables the automatic delivery of a constant value of absolute humidity to the patient’s upper airway while protecting against rainout and allowing patients to select the air temperature that offers the most comfort for them.
