Patient Standby Screens
The Patient Standby screens are displayed when the device is turned on. Depending on your
configuration and settings, these screens may display as follows.
Using the HumidAire 2i Warm-up Feature
*
If using a HumidAire 2i with the device, you can use the Warm-
up feature to pre-heat the water in the humidifier prior to
starting treatment. The humidifer will be automatically
detected when the device is turned on and the standby screen
will give you the option to start warming up the humidifier.
After stopping treatment, the device will continue to blow air
gently to assist cooling of the heater plate.
* If you do not have a H2i attached and/or your clinician has not enabled Ramp time, these options
will not appear.
Ramp Time
*
Ramp time is a feature which can be enabled by your clinician.
If you have difficulty becoming accustomed to the full pressure,
select a ramp time. The airflow will start very gently and slowly
increase to full operating pressure over the selected ramp time.
If your clinician has set a maximum ramp time, the Set Ramp
option is displayed on the Patient Standby screen. Ramp time
can be altered in five-minute increments (from OFF to a
maximum ramp time set by your clinician) by using the Up/
Down key.
Patient Home Screen/Treatment Screen
This screen displays the time and date, the pressure bar and
the remaining Ramp time, if a Ramp time has been set.
