Accessories
Contact your home care provider for additional information on the accessories available for your SleepEasy system.
When using optional accessories, always follow the instructions enclosed with the accessories.
Adding Supplemental Oxygen
Oxygen may be added at the mask connection. Please note the warnings listed below when using oxygen with the device.
WARNINGS:
• When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply with local regulations for medical oxygen.
• When using oxygen with this system, a Respironics Pressure Valve must be placed in-line with the patient circuit
after the oxygen source. Failure to use the pressure valve could result in a fire hazard.
• Oxygen accelerates fires. Keep the device and the oxygen container away from heat, open flames, any oily
substance, or other sources of ignition. Do not smoke in the area near the device or the oxygen.
• When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before turning on the oxygen. Turn the oxygen off before
turning the device off. This will prevent oxygen accumulation in the device.
• If administering fixed-flow supplemental oxygen, the oxygen concentration may not be constant. The inspired
oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the CPAP setting, patient breathing pattern, and leak rate. Substantial
leaks around the mask may reduce the inspired oxygen concentration to less than the expected concentrations.
Appropriate patient monitoring should be implemented.
• Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source.
Traveling with the System
For your convenience at security stations, there is a note on the bottom of the device stating that it is medical equipment. It
may be helpful to bring this manual along with you to help security personnel understand the SleepEasy device.
Note: Before traveling, you must completely empty and dry the water chamber.
Note: The water chamber must be detached from the unit while traveling.
Note: Make sure the soft valve is safely secured to protect from any damage that may occur while traveling.
If you are traveling to a country with a line voltage different than the one you are currently using, a different power
cord or an international plug adaptor may be required to make your power cord compatible with the power outlets
of the country to which you are traveling. Contact your home care provider for additional information.
Cleaning the Device
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, unplug the device before cleaning it. DO NOT immerse the device in any fluids.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the device in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the enclosure, inlet filter, or any opening.
1. Unplug the device, and wipe the outside of the device with a cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild
detergent. Let the device dry completely before plugging in the power cord.
2. Inspect the device and all circuit parts for damage after cleaning. Replace any damaged parts.
Cleaning or Replacing the Filters
CAUTION: Operating the device with a dirty filter may keep the system from working properly and may damage
the device.
Under normal usage, you should clean the gray foam filter at least once every two weeks and replace it with a new
one every six months. The white ultra-fine filter is disposable and should be replaced after 30 nights of use or sooner
if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the ultra-fine filter.
CAUTION: Dirty inlet filters may cause high operating temperatures that may affect device performance.
Regularly examine the inlet filters as needed for integrity and cleanliness.
