  • Page 6 • Ramp Time ( ) - You can adjust the ramp time from 0 (off ) - 45 minutes in 5-minute increments. The default setting is 0. • Ramp Start Pressure ( ) - If Ramp is enabled, you can adjust the Ramp Start Pressure from 4 to the CPAP or EPAP setting (depending on your therapy mode) in increments of 1.
  • Page 7 ) - You can select the correct size diameter tubing that you are using with the device. Choose either “22” for the Philips Respironics 22 mm tubing, or “15” for the optional Philips Respironics 15 mm tubing. When using Heated Tubing, the device will automatically change this setting to the appropriate tubing type (15H).

  • Page 11: Therapy Features

    Therapy Features The device provides the following therapy features. These features are enabled or disabled only in provider mode. Note: Refer to the User Manual for detailed information about the device therapy modes. Ramp If enabled, the device is equipped with a linear ramp function. The Ramp feature will reduce the pressure and then gradually increase (ramp) the pressure to the prescription pressure setting so patients can fall asleep more comfortably.

  • Page 12: Rise Time

    Rise Time In S and S/T modes, rise time is the amount of time it takes the device to change from the expiratory pressure setting to the inspiratory pressure setting. Rise time levels of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 progressively reflect slowed response of the pressure increase that will take place at the beginning of inspiration.

  • Page 13: Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity

    Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity An important characteristic of the device is its ability to recognize and compensate for unintentional leaks in the system and to automatically adjust its trigger and cycle algorithms to maintain optimum performance in the presence of leaks. This feature is known as Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity.
  • Page 14 Volume Trigger (EPAP to IPAP) The volume trigger is one method used to trigger IPAP during spontaneous breathing in the S and S/T modes. The volume trigger threshold is 6 ml of accumulated patient inspiratory volume. When patient effort generates inspiratory flow causing 6 ml of volume, IPAP is triggered. Shape Trigger/Shape Cycle (EPAP to IPAP) (IPAP to EPAP) The shape trigger/cycle is another method used to trigger IPAP and/or cycle from IPAP to EPAP during spontaneous breathing in the S and S/T modes.

  • Page 15: Clear Patient Data For Multiple Users

    Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (IPAP to EPAP) A second method used to cycle off IPAP during spontaneous breathing in the S and S/T modes is called Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (SET). The SET rises in proportion to the inspiratory flow rate on each breath. When the Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (SET) and actual patient flow value are equal, the device cycles to EPAP.

  • Page 16: Cleaning For Multiple Users
