21Using the VPAP Adapt SV
English
Settings Menu
You will only see the options relevant to your therapy. In CPAP (Continuous
Positive Airway Pressure) mode, the clinician sets a pressure that will be
constant throughout treatment. In ASV mode, the VPAP Adapt SV continually
measures your breathing and regulates the air pressure accordingly.
Mask
Select the type of mask that you will be using (you will only need to adjust this if
you have more than one mask). The following table shows the setting that
should be selected for each mask type. If your mask type is not mentioned
below, please contact your clinician. Not all mask types can be used with the
VPAP Adapt SV.
Selecting mask options in the Settings menu
Learn Circuit
The Air Circuit Learn function takes approximately 20 seconds to run. It allows
the unit to ’learn’ what pressure it needs to build in to its calculations, based on
the components in the system. Select LEARN CIRCUIT every time you add or
remove a component (eg, mask, humidifier) or move to a significantly different
altitude.
To run this function:
1. Set up the entire VPAP Adapt SV system (flow generator, mask, humidifier
etc) as you wish to use it.
2. Make sure that the mask is unobstructed so air can flow from the mask to
the flow generator.
3. Turn on the VPAP Adapt SV at the power switch.
4. Move through the menus until you reach LEARN CIRCUIT and select ’yes’ by
pressing the Left key.
5. A message will remind you to check that the airflow from the mask is clear.
Select ’start’ with the Left key.
6. A progress screen is displayed while the Air Circuit Learn function is running.
