CAUTION

! Do not use bleach, chlorine-, alcohol-, or aromatic-based solutions (including all scented oils), moisturising or antibacterial soaps to clean the cushion, mask, air tubing, or the VPAP Adapt SV. These solutions may cause hardening and reduce the life of the product.

Do not wash or dry the mask frame at a temperature above 176ºF (80ºC). Exposure to higher temperatures may reduce the life of the product.

Do not hang the air tubing and pressure sensor tube in direct sunlight as the tubing may harden over time and eventually crack.

English

Periodically

1.The mask and air tubing are subject to normal wear and tear. Inspect them regularly for damage.

2.Remove the power cord. Clean the exterior of the flow generator with a damp cloth and mild liquid soap.

3.Inspect the air filter to check if it is blocked by dirt or contains holes. See full instructions below.

WARNING

! Beware of electric shock. Do not immerse the flow generator or power cord in water. Always unplug the flow generator before cleaning and be sure that it is dry before reconnecting.

CAUTION

! Do not attempt to open the VPAP Adapt SV. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized service agent.

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.
