Changing settings via the Home menu
From the home menu, you can adjust or check the following features:
Ramp
Designed to make the beginning of treatment more comfortable for the
patient, ramp time is the period during which the pressure increases from an
initial pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure or minimum treatment
pressure.
Ramp is available in AutoSet, CPAP and APAP modes.
Humidity level
The patient can adjust their humidity level at any time to find the setting that
is most comfortable for them.
Climate Control
When the ClimateLine or ClimateLine
MAX
heated air tubing is connected and
Climate Control is enabled, the patient can adjust the air temperature to find
the setting that is most comfortable for them.
When set to Auto, Climate Control prevents rainout by maintaining 80%
relative humidity in the delivered air. If Climate Control is set to Manual,
Humidity Level and Heated Tube temperature can be set independently.
Mask-fit
Available in the S9 AutoSet and S9 Elite, mask-fit is designed to help
patients fit the mask properly.
In the S9 AutoSet, the mask-fit pressure is based on the 95th percentile of
the previous session or 10 cm H
2
O whichever is greater.
In the S9 Elite, the mask-fit feature delivers 10cmH
2
O or set CPAP pressure
(whichever is greater) for a three-minute period, prior to starting treatment.
During this time, the mask can be adjusted to minimize leaks.
To use mask-fit:
1. Fit the mask as described in the mask user guide.
2. Press
for at least three seconds.
One of the MASK FIT screens is displayed (as shown on the left).
3. If necessary, adjust the mask, mask cushion and headgear until there is
a secure and comfortable fit. After three minutes, the pressure reverts
to the set pressure and treatment will begin. You can end mask-fit at any
time by pressing
.
Note: Mask-fit is not available in the S9 Escape or S9 Escape Auto.
