Screen [8] and a General Error symbol [35] or Air Leakage symbol [40] is shown. If an error code appears on the Multi Screen
[8], it should be documented, and the clinician or distributor informed as soon as possible. Error Codes:
E1 Minor Air Leakage | Higher leakage than normal but treatment still being delivered effectively ● Solution: The clinician or
distributor should advise patient at the next check-up, that it is important to adjust the Seal [20] and the Hose with Filter [24]
so that there is minimal leakage. Note: this error is only shown in the data log

vents [19] are correctly inserted into the holes in the PCH and adjust if necessary. Restart the device by pressing On/Off
Button [7]
