ResMed VPAP ST Handbuch Seite 2

Only ResMed air tubing and accessories should be used with these devices. A different type of air
•
tubing or accessory may alter the pressure you actually receive, reducing the effectiveness of your
treatment.
Blocking the air tubing and/or air inlet of the S9 device while in operation could lead to overheating
•
of the device.
If your clinician has told you to use the SD card to update the settings on your device and the
•
"Settings updated successfully" message does not appear, contact your clinician immediately.
A patient should not connect a device to the module connector port unless instructed to do so by
•
their health care provider or physician. Only ResMed products are designed to be connected to the
module connector port. Connecting other devices could result in injury, or damage to the S9 device.
These S9 devices should only be used with masks (and connectors
•
by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the S9 device is turned
on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure that the device is blowing air. The vent hole or holes associated
with the mask should never be blocked.
Explanation: Your S9 is intended to be used with special masks (or connectors) which have vent
holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning
properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. However,
when the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through the mask, and the
exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in
some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most models of S9 devices.
In the event of power failure
•
These S9 devices can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cm H
•
fault conditions, pressures up to 40 cm H
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not
•
accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an
•
open flame.
If damage to the tubing results in air leaking, do not continue using the air tubing.
•
Do not wash the air tubing in a washing machine or dishwasher.
•
The electrical connector end of the heated air tubing is only compatible with the H5i air outlet and
•
should not be fitted to the device or mask.
1. Ports may be incorporated into the mask or in connectors that are near the mask.
2. During partial (below rated minimum voltage) or total power failure, therapy pressures will not be delivered. When
power is restored, operation will recommence with no change to settings.
