The VPAP is equipped with an alarm to warn you when you are not receiving
correct treatment. The alarm will activate:
if the VPAP detects a high mask leak and if the Mask Alarm option has been
•
enabled by your clinician;
when excessively high temperatures cause the VPAP to overheat and switch
•
from your prescribed treatment pressures to a single, constant pressure.

ASK
If your clinician has activated the Mask Alarm feature, the Mask Alarm will activate
if it detects a high mask leak or if your mask has become totally dislodged from
your face. The VPAP will illuminate an indicator light, sound a buzzer and display
"MASK OFF ALARM" on the LCD screen.
To stop the alarm, press the #NCTO %CPEGN button or eliminate the cause of the
leak. To eliminate the leak, reposition the mask on your face and/or check that
the air tubing is connected properly to the mask and the flow generator.

VERHEATING
In rare circumstances when the room temperature is above 35°C (95°F) and you
have been breathing rapidly and there are large pressure changes, the air pump in
the flow generator may overheat. The alarm will activate and display
"O'HEAT ALARM" on the LCD screen. You can cancel the alarm by pressing the
#NCTO %CPEGN button.
If the air pump does overheat, the VPAP will deliver a single, constant pressure for
about 15 minutes to allow the pump to cool. When cool, the pump will
automatically return to normal operation. If you prefer, press the 5VCTV5VQR
button and remove your mask. Allow the flow generator to cool for about 15
minutes then resume your normal treatment.
