Sip And Puff Calibration - Sunrise Medical QUICKIE OMNI2 Instructions For Use Manual

2.12 Sip and Puff Calibration

If a new Sip and Puff SID is fitted, or re-calibration is required
then your health care professional or servicing agent will
perform the following calibration procedure to match the
OMNI2 to your operating capabilities.
(Fig. 2.7)
Soft Sip
Soft Sip will be highlighted first. You must now make a series of
soft sips. After each sip, a live readout of the current pressure
will be displayed on the screen in the form of a line within
the 0 - 100 scale. Repeated soft sips will produce a 'band' of
values. During this process it may be beneficial for you to look
away from the screen. This prevents 'false' values where you
may be trying to attain earlier levels. Once you are satisfied
that you can produce a soft sip consistently within this band,
your health care professional or servicing agent will save that
range and move on to highlight Hard Sip.

Hard Sip
You must now make a series of hard sips to produce a new
Hard Sip band. Ideally there should be as much difference
as possible between the Soft Sip and Hard Sip values. To aid
the OMNI2's differentiation between these pressures, your
health care professional or servicing agent should move
the Threshold Marker, (shown in Fig. 2.9), to the middle of
the gap between the hardest soft command and the softest
hard command. Once a suitable threshold is set, your health
care professional or servicing agent will save that range and
highlight Soft Puff.

Soft & Hard Puffs
Now repeat the sequence of instructions for both soft and
hard puffs including the Threshold setting. Once calibration
has been performed, your health care professional or servicing
agent will save your settings.
Please note that all values must be greater than the Deadband
setting, for calibration to be performed successfully.
