HOW TO CHANGE THE RAMP TIME
During ramp time, the pressure increases from a low pressure to the prescribed
treatment pressure. You can set the ramp time in 5-minute intervals, from 0 minutes
(OFF) up to a maximum ramp time set by your clinician.
The standby screen displays the current ramp time in the right-hand corner. To change
the ramp time, press the Up or Down key until the desired ramp time appears.
Once a ramp time is selected, begin therapy by pressing the Start/Stop key.
When ramping begins the LCD will display the word "RAMPING", with the current
pressure indicated as dashes. Each dash is approximately equivalent to 2 cm H
2
O. For
example, six dashes represents approximately 12 cm H
2
O pressure.
HOW TO CHANGE THE ALTITUDE SETTING
If you move or travel with your S8 COMPACT to areas of different altitude, you will need
to adjust the altitude compensation setting. Changes in altitude will affect the pressure
delivered by the
S8 COMPACT.
You can use the Altitude setting (ALT) to specify the altitude range at which you are
using your
S8 COMPACT. Select the S8 COMPACT menu by pressing the Left key in the
standby (RAMP) screen. Scroll to ALT and select Change (Left key). Press the Up or
Down keys until you see the setting option that you require.
There are four altitude settings to choose from:
• 0–2000 ft (0–609 m)
• 2001–4000 ft (610–1219 m)
• 4001–6000 ft (1220–1828 m)
• 6001–8500 ft (1829–2591 m).
For example, if you are at an altitude of 3107’ (947 m), your altitude compensation
setting would be 2001–4000 ft (610–1219 m), as 3107’ (947 m) falls within that range.
Press the Left key (Apply) to select the correct setting.
