F&P SleepStyle Product Technical Guide | 8
5.3 PRESSURE PERFORMANCE CHECK
5.3.1 Equipment required:
• The device to be tested with a breathing tube fitted - ThermoSmart™ breathing tube or a standard breathing tube with an
elbow
• A calibrated manometer with a pressure range to 30cmH
2
O and an adaptor with a pressure port for the manometer to fit into
the breathing tube (22mm)
• An adaptor (22mm) with a 4mm (maximum) bias flow opening
Note: The 2 adaptors can be replaced with a single 22mm adaptor having a pressure port for the manometer and a 4mm
(maximum) bias flow opening.
5.3.2 Procedure:
1. Power up the device and enter the Clinician Menu by pressing and holding Start/Stop then one of the other device
buttons together until the menu is displayed.
2. Using the menu options, set the following parameters:
• Therapy Mode = CPAP (Note: Therapy Mode only available on Auto models)
• Set Pressure = 10cmH
2
O
• Expiratory Relief = o
• SensAwake™ = o
3. Exit the Clinician Menu.
4. Connect the manometer adaptor (with manometer attached) and bias adaptor to the end of the breathing tube such that
the only opening is the 4mm bias flow opening.
5. Ensure that the breathing tube is fully uncoiled and lying on a flat surface with nothing obscuring the bias flow opening.
6. Press Start/Stop
to start the pressure delivery.
7. Allow the pressure to stabilise for at least 15 seconds then confirm that the manometer reads 9.5 – 10.5 cmH
2
O (add
manometer error).
8. Press Start/Stop
to stop the pressure delivery and leave the system set up in the current configuration.
9. Check the fault log for any new error codes (refer to section 5.2).
5.4 HUMIDIFICATION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CHECK
5.4.1 Equipment list:
• Refer to the equipment list in the Pressure Performance Check in section 5.3.1.
5.4.2 Procedure:
1. Ensure that the device is still set up as it was during the pressure performance check in section 5.3.
2. Take the water chamber out of the device, fill the water chamber with water up to the maximum water line marked on the
side of the chamber then close the chamber.
3. Place the water chamber back into the device and close the device lid.
4. Change the humidity setting to 5.
5. Press Start/Stop
to start the pressure delivery.
6. Let the device run for 30 minutes to stabilise.
7. Press Start/Stop
to stop the pressure delivery.
8. Remove the water chamber from the device and empty the chamber.
9. Place the water chamber back into the device and close the device lid.
10. Check the fault log for any new error codes (refer to section 5.2).
ThermoSmart Detection Check (perform only if using a ThermoSmart breathing tube)
11. Press Menu
to display the home screen.
12. Disconnect the breathing tube from the CPAP outlet.
13. The ThermoSmart icon
displayed on the device screen should go o within 5 seconds.
14. Connect the breathing tube back into the CPAP outlet. The ThermoSmart icon should turn on within 5 seconds.
