NOTE– The IntelliPAP will automatically switch power sources between AC and 12V DC if both
sources are available. If your unit is connected to both AC and 12V DC power sources,
it will operate on AC power as long as AC power is present, and automatically switch
to 12V DC power if AC power is lost. When AC power is restored, it will return to the
AC source. You do not need to reset or adjust any settings when the power source
switches, but remember that your heater will not operate on 12V DC.

Supplemental oxygen is sometimes prescribed in addition to CPAP for treatment of
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If your physician prescribed oxygen for your sleep therapy, you
can add the oxygen in one of two ways:
1. Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care
provider and connect it to the outlet port on the IntelliPAP. Connect one end of the air
supply tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end of the air supply
tubing to the mask.
2. If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you
apply oxygen directly to your mask.
� WArning-oXygen use
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not smoke while
using this device with supplemental oxygen. Do not use this device near hot
objects, volatile substances or sources of open flames.
Always turn on the IntelliPAP before turning on the oxygen source. Turn the
oxygen source off before turning off the IntelliPAP.
This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air or oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen concentration will
vary depending on the pressure setting, patient breathing pattern, mask selection,
and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP devices.
Never allow the oxygen source to run continuously while connected to the
IntelliPAP if the device is not in use. If the IntelliPAP is not being used, turn off the
oxygen flow.
CAUTION– Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the
supervision of a physician.
CAUTION–The ow setting of the oxygen source must be specied by a physician.
