Symbols used in this user’s manual Important information is denoted by symbols in this user’s manual. Please ensure that you follow these instructions in order to prevent accidents, personal injury and mate- rial damage. In addition, the local accident prevention regulations and general safety regulations in force in the area of use must be observed.
Intended use The device "TREND III" is used for non-invasive pressure-controlled breathing support. The device is suitable for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in patients over 30 kg, especially when required by higher pressures and / or forms of respiratory failure. Therapy pressure is administered via a breathing mask, which must be equipped with a passive exhalation valve to ensure exhalation air discharge.

Combination of spontaneous breathing and controlled breathing (timed) - if the patient is capable of breathing on their own, the device works in S mode. If the patient is no longer able to breathe spontaneously, the device automati- cally enters T mode and ventilates the patient with the set frequency. The mode is switched to T mode after a set delay time lapses.
Side effects Administering respiratory therapy may result in undesired side effects. Causes for side effects can include improper therapy settings, incorrect use or non-compliance with cleaning instructions. Generally the side effects go away after the cause has been elim- inated. You will find suitable countermeasures for several side effects on Page 72. The following side effects may occur during therapy: •...

General safety instructions Risk of injury due to incorrect device settings! • Only qualified, trained, specialist medical staff under the specification of a physician may make adjustments to the respiratory therapy device. • Please be sure to check the therapy parameter settings after all servicing work.
Page 21
• For the operation of the device only the supplied power adapter may be used. Accessories or power supplies that have not been approved by HOFFRICHTER GmbH for this respiratory therapy device can lead to increased emission of electromagnetic radiation, reduced immunity to interference or increased patient leakage current.
Page 22
• Before cleaning the device, the plug must be disconnected from the electrical outlet. • To disconnect the device from the mains supply, unplug it. • Do not place any receptacles filled with liquids on the device. • Do not place the device anywhere near water containers (e.g. bathtubs). •...
Installation requirements and transport Risk of injury due to insufficient air supply! The device must not be covered or positioned in a way that impairs its operation or function. Ö Do not place the device near curtains that prohibit the flow of cooling air and thus can cause the device to overheat.
Instructions before commissioning Risk of injury due to incorrect pressure measurement! Atomisation or humidification can increase the resistance of respiratory system filters. The operator must regularly check the respiratory system filter for increased resistance and blockages to ensure the therapeutic pressure is generated. •...

Explanation of symbols on the pressure bar Symbol Meaning Spontaneous breathing detected The device has detected spontaneous breathing by the patient. This triggered the inspiration trigger. The symbol will remain visible during inspiration and will shut off with the beginning of the expiration. Safety cycle active The patient is not breathing spontaneously.
• Never operate the device without the air filter. • Only use original HOFFRICHTER filters. • If the device was previously in an environment where the air temperature was not the same as in the new operating location, allow approximately 1 hour until the temperatures have evened out before commissioning.

Connect Bluetooth adapter For the respiration therapy device to be connected to the "TRENDapp" patient app, a connection must be established via Bluetooth. A Bluetooth adapter B USB interface Figure 8: Connect Bluetooth adapter Plug the Bluetooth adapter into the USB interface. The connection is then automatically established between the adapter and the device.
System structure Danger of suffocation! Use masks and accessories with the device in order to ensure the therapeutic pressure is generated and to reduce rebreathing of CO to a minimum. Ö Only use masks with exhalation valves and suitable accessories. During respiratory therapy, the user must always be able to exhale.
Operation with humidifier AquaTREND III-NG Risk of infection due to germs! Condensation of water in the tube circuit can result in germ formation. Ö Increase the room temperature, reduce the heat output of the humidifier or use heated tubes. Please note: Before using the AquaTREND III-NG, be sure to read the instructions for use of the humidifier AquaTREND III-NG, including the safety and cleaning instructions.
Calibrating the tube circuit Risk of injury due to incorrect pressure measurement! Atomisation or humidification can increase the resistance of respiratory system filters. The operator must regularly check the respiratory system filter for increased resistance and blockages to ensure the therapeutic pressure is generated. Ö...
