Ramp Down
S, ST, T, PAC and iVAPS modes
When stopping therapy, Ramp Down gives patients the option to gradually reduce pressure support
and EPAP, providing a more comfortable transition to spontaneous breathing. Ramp Down gradually
decreases the current pressure over a fixed 15 minute period until Start EPAP is reached. The
device remains in CPAP mode at Start EPAP until the Start/Stop button is pressed to turn off
therapy.
Patient access to Ramp Down is enabled via Essentials Plus.
Climate Control
Climate Control is an intelligent system that controls the humidifier and the ClimateLineAir heated
air tubing to deliver constant, comfortable temperature and humidity levels during therapy.
Designed to prevent dryness of the nose and mouth, it maintains the set temperature and relative
humidity during sleep. Climate Control can be set to either Auto or Manual and is only available
when the ClimateLineAir and the HumidAir humidifier are attached.
Climate Control Auto
Climate Control Auto is the recommended and default setting. Climate Control Auto is designed to
make therapy as easy as possible, so there is no need to change the temperature or humidity
settings.
Climate Control adjusts the humidifier output to maintain a constant, comfortable humidity level of
85% relative humidity while protecting against rainout (water droplets in the air tubing and mask).
Tube Temperature
In Climate Control Auto there is no need to change any settings, but if the air in the mask is too
warm or cold for the patient, the tube temperature can be adjusted. The Tube Temperature can be
set to anywhere between 60–86°F (16–30°C), or turned off completely.
The temperature sensor located at the mask end of the ClimateLineAir heated air tubing enables the
system to automatically control the temperature of the air delivered to the patient. This ensures the
temperature of the air delivered to the patient does not fall below the set minimum temperature,
therefore maximizing breathing comfort for the patient.
