contact your equipment supplier or ResMed. Do not attempt to open the device.
Problem

Insufficient air
delivered from
S8 Elite.
S8 Elite does not start
when you breathe into
the mask.
Possible Cause
Power not connected.
Ramp time is in use.
Air filter is dirty.
Air tubing is kinked or
punctured.
Air tubing not connected
properly.
Mask and headgear not
positioned correctly.
Cap(s) missing from access
port(s) on mask.
Pressure required for treatment
may have changed.
Power cord not connected
properly.
Power outlet may be faulty.
SmartStart not on.
Leak Alert has been enabled;
SmartStart has automatically
been disabled.
Use of a Mirage or Ultra Mirage
Full Face Mask.
Breath is not deep enough to
trigger SmartStart.
Solution
Ensure the appropriate power
cord is connected to your S8 Elite
and the power switch (if
available) is on.
Wait for air pressure to build up
or change ramp time.
Replace air filter.
Straighten or replace tubing.
Check air tubing.
Adjust position of mask and
headgear.
Replace cap(s).
See your clinician to adjust the
pressure.
Connect power cord firmly at
both ends.
Try another power outlet.
Enable SmartStart.
Disable Leak Alert to enable
SmartStart.
SmartStart does not work with a
full face mask as the anti-
asphyxia valve will not allow
sufficiently high pressure on
exhalation.
Take a deep breath in and out
through the mask.
