EPWORTH SLEEPINESS SCALE
NOTE—Please read all instructions before proceeding.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale Questionnaire is a tool used to assess your sleepiness and your benefit from using the bilevel CPAP regularly. The unit
will record and display the results of a patient-completed Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) at various intervals. The interval is determined by your home
medical equipment provider and/or physician. The ESS feature can be turned on or off by the health care provider at device set-up.
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is an eight-question sleepiness assessment that has four possible numerical answers for each question (0, 1, 2, or
3).
The questionnaire can be temporarily skipped by turning the blower OFF and then back ON. The unit must be off for two hours before ESS is displayed
again. For all eight (8) ESS questions, the keypad UP/DOWN buttons will be used to scroll through the possible answers (0, 1, 2, or 3), and the
SELECT button will be used to enter your answer and advance sequentially through the process. The eight (8) ESS questions that are to be answered
and the scale for your answers of 0 to 3 are provided on the next page and in a separate booklet. The questions are to be referenced as you proceed
through the ESS survey in steps 1 to 4 below. The question number is referenced on the bilevel CPAP LCD display.
If the ESS is enabled and due for completion, an ESS prompt will be shown on the LCD display when the blower is turned
ON Figure 11. In addition, the LCD back light will turn on and several short beeps will be sounded from the audible
indicator.
With the display as shown in Figure 11, press the SELECT button to proceed to ESS Q1. The display shown in Figure
1.
12 references Question number 1, "Sitting and reading." See questions (situations) on the next page.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons to display the most appropriate number as it relates to you for the situation.
2.
Press the SELECT button to enter your answer and advance to the next question.
3.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have answered all eight (8) questions of the ESS. The total will be displayed once all
4.
of the questions are answered Figure 13. If "??" is displayed, then one or more of the questions has not been
answered. NOTE—Record the date and total into the chart on page 2 of the ESS booklet. If instructed to do so by
your homecare provider, complete the ESS Reply Card and mail it to the address printed on the front of the card.
Press the SELECT button to scroll past the Epworth Total. An Epworth "Finished" prompt will be displayed Figure 14.
5.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to display YES or NO. If it is necessary for you to change or review your answers, press the
6.
SELECT button with NO on the display and return to the questionnaire. If you are finished, select YES on the display,
press the SELECT button and the display will return to the "Act Pres" (Actual Pressure) reading.
NOTE—The bilevel CPAP will operate throughout the ESS assessment. The blower ON/OFF and DELAY keypad buttons will continue to function
regardless of the ESS prompts. If you do not answer the ESS, it will remain on the display for 15 minutes before timing out and being
removed. Any keypad activity will reset the 15-minute time-out period. Turning the blower OFF and then back ON will temporarily skip the
questionnaire; the unit must be off for two hours before ESS will be displayed again.
