Using DC Power to Run the VPAP Adapt SV

The VPAP Adapt SV can be run on DC in case of power failure. ResMed supplies separately a converter that allows a 12V or 24V battery to be connected to the DC input of the VPAP Adapt SV. When using a DC power supply, the power is turned on and off via the switch on the converter, and not the power switch at the back of the VPAP Adapt SV. The DC converter is a separate accessory that can be purchased through your ResMed distributor.

The humidifier heater will be automatically disabled when the VPAP Adapt SV is operating from the DC supply.

Power consumption of the VPAP Adapt SV varies with treatment settings. Adequate battery type and sizing is required before operation on DC, and it is recommended that you contact ResMed’s Technical Services division or see ResMed's website for information on your specific application.

CAUTION

! The VPAP Adapt SV uses 30V DC power. Only connect the VPAP Adapt SV to DC power using the VPAP Adapt SV DC Converter (P/N 26928) specified for this application.

Supplemental Oxygen

The VPAP Adapt SV is designed to be compatible with the use of low flow oxygen therapy provided from an external source and supplied at a fixed rate of up to 15 L/min. At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning applies to most types of bilevel machines.

WARNING

! • If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating.

Explanation: When the device is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.

• Always begin VPAP Adapt SV therapy before the oxygen supply is turned on.

• Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping VPAP Adapt SV therapy.

• Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.

VPAP Adapt SV specifications

The ResMed VPAP Adapt SV is a cutting-edge device designed to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from complex sleep apnea conditions, including central and obstructive sleep apnea. It combines advanced technology with user-friendly features to provide effective therapy while ensuring maximum comfort for users.

A standout feature of the VPAP Adapt SV is its Adaptive Servo-Ventilation (ASV) algorithm. This proprietary technology continuously monitors a patient’s breathing patterns and adjusts the airflow accordingly. By providing just the right amount of pressure support during inhalation and maintaining a minimal backup rate during exhalation, the device ensures optimal ventilation while minimizing the risk of over-ventilation. This responsiveness is crucial for patients who may experience fluctuating airway resistance and varying degrees of respiratory events.

The VPAP Adapt SV is equipped with a sophisticated data management system that tracks treatment progress in real time. It automatically collects information about usage, leak rates, and overall pressure settings, which can be easily accessed and reviewed by healthcare providers. This data-driven approach facilitates personalized treatment adjustments, empowering both patients and clinicians to make informed decisions.

Comfort is enhanced through various design features, including a quiet operation mechanism that minimizes noise disruption during sleep. The device offers a range of pressure settings that can be tailored to individual needs, allowing for a comfortable therapeutic experience. The VPAP Adapt SV is compatible with ResMed’s range of CPAP masks, which are ergonomically designed to fit securely without compromising comfort.

Another notable characteristic is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies the setup and adjustments needed for optimal therapy. Patients can easily navigate through various options on the bright display screen, making it accessible for users of all ages.

Additionally, the VPAP Adapt SV’s compact design makes it a portable option for those who travel frequently. It comes with a carrying case and can operate on both AC and DC power sources, ensuring that patients can maintain their therapy wherever they go.

In conclusion, the ResMed VPAP Adapt SV represents a significant advancement in respiratory therapy. With its Adaptive Servo-Ventilation technology, comprehensive data management, and focus on patient comfort, it provides a holistic approach to managing complex sleep apnea, making it a preferred choice for healthcare providers and patients alike.
