OPERATION / CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF NORMAL OPERATION
An AC to DC power supply, plugged into an AC power source,
converts AC voltage to DC voltage and powers the internal electronics
of the DV6X CPAP device, such as microcontroller, motor control
circuitry, blower, display, etc. Alternatively, the DV6X device is powered
by DC voltage from a DC power source via an optional DC power
adapter.
The CPAP device produces positive pressure by spinning a reverse-
curved impeller with a brushless DC motor. Room air is drawn through
a lter into the blower, pressurized in the blower, optionally passed
through a heated humidier chamber and then discharged through a
15 or 22mm-ID, smooth-bore tube. Pressure regulation is achieved
using measured pressure as feedback.
The CPAP device senses patient breathing by monitoring the ow
signal. A ow sensor triggers the Auto-START / Auto-STOP
functionality and mask-OFF alerts.
CLEANING
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, always unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet power source before cleaning.
CAUTION: Never rinse or place the device in water. Never allow
liquids to get into or around any of the ports, switches or air lter.
Doing so will result in product damage. If this occurs, do not use the
device. Disconnect the power cord and contact your equipment
provider for service.
A. Routine Cleaning – Patient
• Disconnect from power source and wipe the cabinet with a clean,
damp cloth every 7 days. Allow the device to dry completely
before returning to power source.
• Check the outer air-inlet lter every 10 days. Wash the dark foam
lter in a solution of warm water and mild dishwashing detergent.
Rinse with water. Allow the lter to dry completely before
returning to the device. Replace every 6 months or sooner if
necessary.
• Check the optional ne particle (inner) lter every 10 days and
replace if dirty or damaged. Replace every 30 days.
• Clean the air supply tubing every day. Remove the tubing from
the device and mask and wash the inside of the tubing in a
solution of warm water and mild dishwashing detergent. Rinse
with water and allow to air dry – to shorten drying time, connect
tube to the device and allow air to ow through the tube – visually
inspect tubing for water before use. Replace every 6 months.
• Clean the mask and headgear according to the manufacturer’s
instructions or the device’s programmed notication.
B. Multi-Patient Use
The IntelliPAP 2 / DeVilbiss BLUE CPAP DV6x device is not approved
for multi-patient use at this time.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Electric shock hazard. Disconnect power supply before servicing.
A. INITIAL INSPECTION AND SET UP –
Equipment Provider
DeVilbiss recommends equipment inspection upon delivery:
• Apply AC power to the DV6X CPAP device.
• Test pressure accuracy using an outlet cap (DV51D-620), a
calibrated pressure gauge and the procedures listed under
Pressure Accuracy Test.
• Set prescribed therapy and patient features as described under
Setting Pressures and Features Section or as described in the
Provider Quick Setup Guide, DV6X-125-xx.
B. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE – Patient
Instruct patient on the following at-home maintenance tasks:
• Wipe case with damp cloth every week.
• Inspect air-inlet lter every 10 days and clean as needed.
Replace every 6 months
• Inspect ne particle lter every 10 days and replace as needed.
Do NOT clean. Replace every 30 days
NOTE: Carefully demonstrate the proper alignment of the Fine
Particle and Air-Inlet lters.
• Wash air supply (patient) tubing daily.
• Clean mask and headgear per manufacturer’s instructions.
C. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE – Equipment
Provider
The DV6X CPAP devices do not require routine maintenance.
Pressure Accuracy–No routine calibration or service is required
provided the device is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
directions.
NOTE: Some countries require periodic servicing and calibration of
this type of medical device. Contact local authorities for further
information.
