Reminders

You can use the Reminders menu to alert the patient to specific events; for example, when to
replace their mask, when to replace the filter and so on. Using ResScan, you can select which
Reminder message to show when and its recurrence frequency (Off, 1–24 months). The
reminder appears in yellow as the date approaches (within 10% of the reminder period). The
reminder also displays on the startup screen. Patients can clear a reminder message by
selecting 'Reset', which clears the current reminder date to OFF , or displays the next pre-set
Reminder date.
Note: When the motor run hour is below two hours, Reminders can be set, but will not display.
After two hours of the motor running, the correct date displays.

Configuring iVAPS

There are two ways in which you can configure iVAPS mode:
using Learn Targets—which learns the patient's breathing pattern and calculates the targets
•
automatically; or
directly entering the targets.
•

Using Learn Targets

Learn Targets monitors the patient's resting ventilation, with the goal of learning the patient's
Target Alveolar Ventilation and Target Patient Rate in preparation for iVAPS mode. It is
recommended that the patient be set up in a quiet place, preferably with a distraction to ensure
they don't fall asleep.
During Learn Targets, the device delivers two pressures; EPAP/PEEP and Pressure Support
without backup breath (like S mode). These parameters are available on the Learn Targets screen.
