Operating Instructions

Starting Treatment

The VPAP Auto unit should be assembled beside your bed with the air tubing and
mask system connected. See "Setting Up the VPAP Auto" on page 9.

Plug the power cord into the power source. A welcome message is displayed on
the LCD screen. The Ramp or Settling screen then appears.
Note: If you have the HumidAire 3i attached, please refer to the relevant user
manual for operating instructions.
2
Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.

Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your
sleep.

To start treatment, simply breathe into the mask (see "SmartStart™").
Air will begin flowing slowly and will build up to full operating pressure in about
10 to 15 seconds.
Note: If the VPAP Auto does not start automatically, you can also press the
Start/Stop key.

SmartStart™

The VPAP Auto has a function called SmartStart™. SmartStart enables your
device to start automatically when you breathe into your mask. If your clinican
has enabled SmartStop, your device will stop automatically when you take your
mask off.

Stopping Treatment

To stop treatment at any time, remove your mask and press the Start/Stop key
or
if your clinician has enabled SmartStop, simply remove your mask and treatment
will end.
Note: SmartStop will not work if:
You have selected MIR FULL for your mask type.
•
Your clinician has enabled Leak Alert.
•

Using the Mask-Fitting Feature

You can use the VPAP Auto mask-fitting feature to help you fit your mask
properly. This feature delivers air pressure for a three-minute period, prior to
starting treatment, during which you can check and adjust your mask fit to
minimize leaks.
