Climate Control Manual - ResMed AirCurve 10 ST-A Clinical Manual

Climate Control Manual

Designed to offer more flexibility and control over settings, Climate Control Manual lets the patient
adjust the temperature and humidity to the setting which is most comfortable for them.
In Climate Control Manual, the Tube Temperature and the Humidity Level can be set independently
however, rainout protection is not guaranteed. If rainout does occur, first try increasing the tube
temperature. If the air temperature becomes too warm and rainout continues, try decreasing the
humidity.
Humidity Level
The humidifier moistens the air and is designed to make therapy more comfortable. If the patient is
getting a dry nose or mouth, turn up the humidity. If the patient is getting moisture in their mask,
turn down the humidity.
The Humidity Level can be set to Off or between 1 and 8, where 1 is the lowest humidity setting
and 8 is the highest humidity setting.
For each humidifier setting, the Climate Control system delivers a constant amount of water vapor,
or absolute humidity (AH), to the patient's upper airway.
Automatic adjustment
The humidifier and ClimateLineAir heated air tubing are controlled by the Climate Control algorithm
to deliver constant humidity and temperature outputs. The system adjusts automatically to changes
in:
• ambient room temperature and humidity values
• flow due to pressure changes
flow due to mask or mouth leak.
