8. Plug the power supply into the receptacle on the rear face of the driver and the power chord into a
properly grounded AC receptacle.
9. Connect an approved patient circuit to the Driver (e.g. RT132 or RC51-12002)
10. Connect an approved generator (e.g. Catalog Number 006905) to the patient circuit and install a
MEDIUM set of prongs (e.g. Catalog Number 006915 included in the generator kit).
11. Turn the power switch to the ON position and monitor the splash screen. Record the following
information from the Splash Screen:
Firmware Version
Display OS
Display Firmware
Hour Meter display
Verify that all LEDs are illuminated and the correct color (see Figure)

12. The Power-On Self test will take 45 seconds. If it
successfully passes the self-test, then the device
will enter patient treatment mode, as indicated by
the Splash Screen being replaced with the Main
Screen and flow exiting the patient outlet port.
During the power-on self test, the device
automatically performs the following actions and
displays PASS or FAIL. Record the results of the
tests by circling PASS or FAIL on the data sheet:
Checks the Patient Pressure Sensor zero point
Checks the Patient Flow Sensor zero point
Flushes the oxygen and air lines
Performs a 2 point O
Note: If an error occurs during the power-on self-test, the Driver will not enter Patient Treatment
Mode and the main screen will be replaced with an error screen. Consult the troubleshooting
section for further details and recommended actions.
13. Verify that the following default Set values are on the main screen:
CPAP Set: 5 cm H 2 O
% O 2 Set: 21% O 2 and Highlighted
Flow Rate Target: 8 LPM (actual flow may vary based on generator brand, leaks, etc)
Circle PASS or FAIL.
14. Use an appropriate clip to seal the MEDIUM prongs completely and allow the device to stabilize at
the default settings.
Note: The Device automatically enters a 2 minute grace period to allow for patient set-up.
This is indicated by the "mute" LEDs being illuminated. Exit the grace period by pressing the
alarm clear/mute button before proceeding (or allow the unit to time-out after 120 seconds)
