Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source. When using oxygen with this system, a Philips Respironics Pressure Valve must be placed at the device outlet. Failure to use the pressure valve could result in a fire hazard.
Page 8
Do not use the same external battery to operate both the device and any other equipment such as power chairs. An external battery should only be connected to the device using the Philips Respironics External Battery Cable. This cable is fused, pre-wired, and properly terminated to ensure safe connection to a standard deep cycle lead acid battery.
1.4 Contraindications The OmniLab Advanced + is not a life support device. The device system should not be used on patients with the following conditions: • Patients without a spontaneous respiratory drive • Existing respiratory failure (failure to treat; risk of increased work of breathing due either to incomplete reversal of upper airway obstruction or to breathing at high lung volume, leading to worsening respiratory failure) •...
SD card slot If applicable, insert the optional SD card here. DC power inlet Connect an external battery here using the Philips Respironics DC power cord. AC power inlet Connect the AC power adapter here. A reusable, gray foam filter must be placed in the filter area to screen out normal household dust and Filter area pollen.

Section 2: Therapy Modes and Features 2.1 Device Therapy Modes Therapy Description Modes CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; CPAP maintains a constant level of pressure throughout the breathing cycle. Spontaneous Pressure Support; A Bi-level therapy mode where breaths are patient-triggered and patient-cycled. The device triggers to IPAP (Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) in response to spontaneous inspiratory effort and cycles to EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure) during exhalation.
2.2 Therapy Features The device can provide the following therapy features. AVAPS Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS) is a feature available in the S, S/T, PC, and T modes. (In AVAPS-AE mode, the AVAPS feature is always enabled.) AVAPS helps patients maintain a tidal volume (V ) equal to or greater than the target tidal volume (Tidal Volume setting) by automatically controlling the pressure support (PS) provided to the patient.
Page 16
A-Flex (C-Flex+) Comfort Feature The device is equipped with a special comfort feature called Exhalation starts and pressure level decreases A-Flex if in Auto-CPAP (or C-Flex+ if in CPAP mode). When A-Flex (C-Flex+) is enabled, it enhances patient Therapy comfort in three ways: 1) by smoothing the transition Pressure between the end of inhalation and the beginning of exhalation, 2) by providing significant pressure relief during...
Page 17
Rise Time Rise Time PRESSURE If enabled, the device provides a feature called Rise Time in S, S/T, T, PC, autoSV, and Bi-level modes. Rise time is the amount of time it IPAP takes the device to change from the expiratory pressure setting to the inspiratory pressure setting.
2.3 Therapy Event Detection The device monitors breathing and detects apneas, hypopneas, and other therapy events (as available). Event Definition Obstructed An apnea is detected when there is an 80% reduction in airflow from baseline for at least 10 seconds or Airway if there is no airflow detected for 10 seconds.
• Philips Respironics headgear (for the mask) Note: See Section 6 for information on how to clean Philips Respironics flexible tubing prior to use. Refer to the instructions that accompany any other breathing circuit components for any necessary cleaning prior to use.
Using DC Power The device can operate from a 12 VDC lead acid battery using the Philips Respironics External Battery Cable. This cable is pre-wired and properly terminated to ensure safe connection of an external battery to the device. Battery operating time depends on the characteristics of the battery and usage of the device.
Control room PC Lab setups will vary. If you are not using a Philips Respironics polysomnograph (PSG) system, you will need to use the OmniLab Connect device. Refer to the instructions included with the OmniLab Connect and any accessories for...
