ETTING EMINDERS
You can set a number of reminders to alert the patient to specific events; for example,
when to replace their mask, when to insert a Data Card (if their device is Data Card
enabled) and so on. You can also set special customized reminders.
When a reminder is due, a message is displayed on the LCD and remains whenever
the device is not delivering therapy. The backlight on the LCD flashes when a message
is displayed.
If more than one reminder for a patient is scheduled for the same date, all scheduled
reminders are displayed on that date. Patients can clear each message by pressing the
Left key (or inserting a Data Card, in the case of the Data Card reminder).
You access reminders from Clinical Menu, Options (see Figure 5, Settings menu
screens, on page 25). From the REMINDERS screen, scroll down to the submenus to
set a number of different types of message.
