NITIAL REATMENT
Before initiating treatment with an A
pressure is measured. In rare cases, blood pressure may fall on initiating positive air
pressure (PAP) treatment.
Set up the A
UTO
to the patient and commence therapy. Check the patient's blood pressure before,
during and after 10 minutes of therapy.
The use of a full face mask is highly recommended to minimise mouth leak. Leak can

impair the effectiveness of treatment.
Select the ERASE DATA option (page 14) before starting therapy on a new patient to
ensure the integrity of new patient data.

TARTING AND TOPPING
1. The unit and mask system should be assembled, with the proximal cuff and sensor
tubes connected to the air tubing. Do not put the mask on the patient yet.
2. Turn the power switch at the back of the unit to ON. Allow the unit to warm up
for approximately 30 seconds.
3. If the air circuit has been changed at all since the last time the A
used (eg adding or removing a humidifier, changing the mask type), run the Air
Circuit Learn function (page 9). If a different mask is being used, you will also need
to change the MASK option in the Settings menu (page 9).
4. Ask the patient to lie down in bed. Arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move
if they turn in their sleep. Have the patient fit the mask to their face.
CAUTION
!
Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of the bed that could twist
around the patient's head or neck while sleeping.
Make sure the area around the unit is clean (dust free) and clear of bedding,
clothes and any other potential blockages.
5. When the patient has sufficient expiratory flow, the S
detects that the mask is on and automatically begins therapy. If necessary, press the
Start/Stop key on the front of the unit. As the pressure increases, you may need
to adjust the mask and headgear so that the mask sits comfortably on the patient
