Introduction VPAP™ Adapt SV The VPAP™ Adapt SV flow generator has been designed to be reliable, comfortable and easy to use. You can observe your treatment and make adjustments to settings using a keypad and LCD screen. CAUTION USA federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The VPAP Adapt SV should be used with masks and accessories • recommended by ResMed or the prescribing physician. Use of incorrect masks and accessories may adversely affect the function of the VPAP Adapt SV. The VPAP Adapt SV is designed for use with masks that allow exhaled gases •...

The following side effects may arise during a course of therapy with the VPAP Adapt SV: • drying of the nose, mouth, or throat • bloating • ear or sinus discomfort • eye irritation • skin rashes • chest discomfort. Introduction...
Quick Setup Guide Attach the air tubing and pressure sensor tube to the VPAP Adapt SV and mask (page 9). Attach a humidifier if required (page 11). Switch on the VPAP Adapt SV. Make sure the mask is unblocked. Select the mask setting (page 22). Perform the Air Circuit Learn function (page 22) at first-time use, or if you are adding or removing a component of the system (eg, a humidifier or anti-bacterial filter).
VPAP Adapt SV System VPAP Adapt SV Components The VPAP Adapt SV flow generator is supplied with air tubing and a power cord. Masks are supplied separately, as you and your clinician have to decide which mask is best for you. Masks that can be used with VPAP Adapt SV are listed on page 8.
Luer connectors together at the Proximal cuff. Make sure the pressure sensor tube is not kinked, obstructed or twisted. Note: ResMed recommends the following tubing products for use with the VPAP Adapt SV: replacement air hose (only) PN14968; replacement air delivery system (hose, sensor line, clips, proximal cuff) PN26923.
There are two sockets at the rear of the flow generator—the top one for an AC (standard mains electricity) and the lower one for a DC power cord (see “Using DC Power to Run the VPAP Adapt SV” on page 16). ResMed recommends using the AC power cord supplied with the unit.
Page 16
Connect air tubing Connect the air tube firmly onto the air outlet at the front of the unit. Figure 4: Front view of VPAP Adapt SV To attach the pressure sensor tube to the unit, screw the Luer connector onto the socket on the side of the unit.
Humidifiers A humidifier may be required if you are experiencing dryness of the nose, throat, or mouth. The following ResMed humidifiers are compatible with the VPAP Adapt SV: HumidAire™ HumidAire 2i™ heated humidifier heated humidifier Humidifier accessory (HumidAire only) Medium air tubing 21"...
HumidAire 2i™ The HumidAire 2i provides heated humidification for the VPAP Adapt SV. To attach the HumidAire 2i, remove the VPAP Adapt SV front cover and attach the humidifier docking station and water chamber. No other accessories are required for use. Please refer to the HumidAire 2i User’s Manual for details. Once you have performed the Air Circuit Learn function the VPAP Adapt SV is ready for use.
HumidAire™ You will need a medium size 21" (52 cm) air tube to connect the VPAP Adapt SV unit to the HumidAire™ (see Figure 7). Make sure both the HumidAire and the VPAP Adapt SV are turned off. Fill the HumidAire with water as described in the humidifier manual. Place the filled water chamber inside the HumidAire.
Page 20
Connect the mask system to the free end of the long air tubing. The final assembly should look like this: Switch on the HumidAire and the VPAP Adapt SV. WARNING Make sure that the power cords and plugs are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.
ResLink™ The ResLink is a device that records data onto a SmartMedia™ card during your therapy. The card can be returned to your clinician so that they can observe your progress and adjust flow generator parameters if necessary. The ResLink connects to the back of VPAP Adapt SV as shown.
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 12 V or 24 V battery to be connected to the DC input of the VPAP Adapt SV.
Using the VPAP Adapt SV WARNING Before starting therapy with a new mask select the correct mask type in the Settings menu (page 22). When adding or removing a new component such as a mask, humidifier, or anti-bacterial filter, perform the Air Circuit Learn function (page 22).
Control Panel Functions The control panel of the VPAP Adapt SV has a keypad that allows you to: • start or stop treatment • adjust settings on the flow generator • mute or stop alarms • view treatment data. QuickView key Start/Stop Figure 13: The VPAP Adapt SV control panel LCD screen...
Left key (green) • Enters a menu. • Confirms and applies settings. • Performs the function indicated by the text above it in the LCD (eg, ’enter’, ’change’). Right key (red) • Performs the function indicated by the text above it in the LCD (eg, ’exit’). •...

To change a setting, press the Up/Down key until you arrive at the menu you require. • Press the Left key to enter the menu, then use the Up/Down key again to scroll through the options. • Once you find the option you require press the Left key to select the function that is displayed in the bottom left of the screen (eg, ’change’, ’yes’).
Menus The options available in the Settings menu will depend on the therapy you are receiving (either ASV or CPAP mode), as set by your clinician. VPAP Adapt SV Figure 15: Navigating the Patient menu ASV MODE SOUND LEVEL:LOW SOUND LEVEL:LOW These menus appear only if at least one AVG PRESS: 10.4...
Settings Menu You will only see the options relevant to your therapy. In CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) mode, the clinician sets a pressure that will be constant throughout treatment. In ASV mode, the VPAP Adapt SV continually measures your breathing and regulates the air pressure accordingly. Mask Select the type of mask that you will be using (you will only need to adjust this if you have more than one mask).
7 . When the function is complete, a screen will appear saying that the circuit has been learned successfully. The next menu item is then displayed. Commence treatment as described in “Starting Treatment” on page 17. If there is a problem with the circuit a screen saying ’Invalid circuit’ will be displayed instead of the progress screen.
Mask-fit Gives a rating of how well the mask was fitting during your last session on the VPAP Adapt SV. The stars indicate how good the fit was (more stars = better fit). Star rating ***** ****- ***-- **--- *---- HIGH LEAK Average Pressure Provides information on the average air pressure during your most recent...
Servicing Menu This menu displays the following information: • SN—the flow generator’s serial number • PCB—the flow generator’s PCB number (PCB—printed circuit board) • SW—the version of software currently installed on the flow generator. Treatment Screens There are three Treatment screens displayed in the VPAP Adapt SV LCD. The LCD will display the Treatment screens when treatment commences, and during treatment if no key is pressed for 20 minutes.
1. Check that the air tube and sensor tube are connected properly. 2. Turn the VPAP Adapt SV off and on again at the power switch. If the alarm persists, return the unit to ResMed for servicing. Action Check tube connections.
6. Try using the flow generator one more time. 7 . If the high pressure alarm activates repeatedly, discontinue use and return to ResMed for servicing. If the alarm does not recur, then continue to use as normal. Note: The alarm system is designed to ignore coughing. However, if a cough is especially intense and prolonged, it may trigger the high pressure alarm.
4. Remove blockage. 5. Turn power back on. 6. If the flow blocked alarm activates repeatedly, discontinue use and return to ResMed for servicing. If the alarm does not recur, then continue to use as normal. Will stop when: •...
Cleaning and Maintenance You should regularly carry out the cleaning and maintenance described in this manual. CAUTION Do not wash the pressure sensor tube. If fluid enters the pressure sensor tube allow it to dry completely by hanging it in a clean place out of direct sunlight.
Air tubing Remove the pressure sensor tube from air tubing Figure 19: Air tubing assembly removed for cleaning 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.
