INTRODUCTION
Intended Use
The DeVilbiss SleepCube Model DV57 Series AutoBilevel CPAP is intended for use in treating OSA in spontaneously
breathing patients 30 Kg (66 lbs) and above by means of application of positive air pressure. The device is to be used in
home and clinical environments.
Indications For Use (Optional Heated Humidifier)
Use on the advice and prescription of a licensed physician to help relieve the symptoms of dryness of the throat, nasal
passages and the mouth, which are common with positive airway pressure therapy. This is especially true in dry climates
and during the cold season when humidity in the air is typically lower than at other times.
Essential Performance
Sleep Apnea Breathing Therapy Equipment is considered not to have essential performance.
Contraindications
Do not use SleepCube system if your upper airway has been bypassed. Positive airway pressure therapy may be
contraindicated in some patients with the following pre-existing conditions:
• severe bullous lung disease
• pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
• pathologically low blood pressure, particularly if associated with intravascular volume depletion
• dehydration
• cerebrospinaluidleak,recentcranialsurgeryortrauma
NOTE–Symptoms of dryness of the throat, nasal passages and the mouth are common with positive airway pressure
therapy. The SleepCube features an optional humidier system to help minimize these effects.
