ASSEMBLY OF YOUR BILEVEL CPAP

NOTE—Refer to Important Parts for part identification.
1. Place the bilevel CPAP on a stable surface.
NOTE—Ensure that the unit is away from heating vents, radiators, drapes and bedspreads so that the air intake
is not restricted.
2. Plug the power cord into the connector on the back of the unit Figure 2.
3. Plug the other end of the cord into the wall outlet.
4. Prepare your mask for use, in accordance with the mask instruction guide.
5. Connect one end of the air tubing to the mask and the other end to the outlet port of the bilevel CPAP
Figure 5.
NOTE—Some tubing is prone to kinking, which can prevent flow from reaching the mask. Use only 6' 22 mm diameter,
smooth-bore, kink-resistant tubing.
6. If you are using a humidifier, assemble the system in accordance with the instructions provided with the DeVilbiss
humidifier.
NOTE—Only the DeVilbiss 9100D humidifier and 9200 series heaters are compatible for use with the 9055 series DeVilbiss
bilevel CPAP. Do not use any other humidifier systems.

NORMAL OPERATION OF YOUR BILEVEL CPAP

1. Put your mask on and press the ON/OFF button on the keypad to start the blower Figure 3. The pressure in your
mask will come to prescription pressure. If you do not turn the unit ON using the ON/OFF button, it will
automatically start after you have taken a few breaths with the mask on. At this time you may see one of four
settings on the display:
Actual Pressure Fig. 6: This is the actual pressure displayed while breathing on the device. NOTE—Due to

NOTE—The bilevel CPAP will operate normally and increase to the prescribed CPAP pressure even though the "Mask
Check" (if applicable) and/or "Filter Check" (if applicable) have not been acknowledged, or "Epworth" (if
applicable) has not been completed. Once the "Mask Check," and/or "Filter Check" have been acknowledged,
or "Epworth" completed, the display will show "Act Pres."
NOTE—The 9055 series bilevel CPAP will turn off if power is turned off or disconnected. When power is restored, the
bilevel CPAP will return to the previous on or off state within 2 seconds.

keypad and the pressure will stay at a low level for a preset time interval. You may repeat this delay time by
pushing the button again if you have not fallen asleep during the first delay period.
