Changing settings via the Home menu

From the home menu, you can adjust or check the following features:
S9 Essentials
When S9 Essentials is enabled, the patient can simply start and stop therapy, access mask-fit and adjust
ramp, humidification and Climate Control.
Ramp
Designed to make the beginning of treatment more comfortable for the
patient, ramp time is the period during which the pressure increases from
an initial pressure to the prescribed CPAP pressure or minimum AutoSet
pressure.
Ramp is available in both AutoSet and CPAP modes.
Humidity level
The patient can adjust their humidity level at any time to find the setting that
is most comfortable for them.
Climate Control
When the ClimateLine or ClimateLine
Climate Control is enabled, the patient can adjust the air temperature to find
the setting that is most comfortable for them.
When set to Auto, Climate Control prevents rainout by maintaining 80%
relative humidity in the delivered air. If Climate Control is set to Manual,
Humidity Level and Heated Tube temperature can be set independently.
Mask-fit
Mask-fit is designed to help patients fit the mask properly.
In the S9 AutoSet, the mask-fit pressure is based on the 95th percentile of
the previous session or 10 cm H
In the S9 Elite, the mask-fit feature delivers 10 cm H
(whichever is greater) for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment.
During this time, the mask can be adjusted to minimize leaks.
To use mask-fit:
1. Fit the mask as described in the mask user guide.
2. Press for at least three seconds.
One of the MASK FIT screens shown is displayed (as shown on the left).
3. If necessary, adjust the mask, mask cushion and headgear until there is
a secure and comfortable fit. After three minutes, the pressure reverts
to the set pressure and treatment will begin. You can end mask-fit at any
time by pressing
heated air tubing is connected and
