Service PC and
Ventilator
The service PC must include:
• Windows XP or compatible operating system
• USB port and a serial port or
• USB port with a USB to serial port adapter (such as Keyspan Model
USA-19HS P/N 1022895)
If your service PC does not have a serial port you can use a USB to serial port
adapter such as Keyspan model USA-19HS. You must install the USB to serial
port drivers included with the adapter before installing the adapter.

docking station. Do not connect the BiPAP Focus USB cable through a
USB hub. Using docking stations or USB hubs causes communication
