Starting The Device - Philips DreamStation BiPAP autoSV User Manual

Notes

If you are using a standard tube (not shown) instead of a heated tube, simply slide the tubing over

the air outlet port on the therapy device.

If the device is being used by multiple persons in a hospital environment, connect a bacteria filter to

the device air outlet, and then connect the flexible tubing to the outlet of the bacteria filter. When

using the bacteria filter, the device performance may be affected. However, the device will remain

functional and deliver therapy.

3. Connect the tubing to the mask. For proper placement and positioning, refer to the instructions that

came with your mask.

Warnings

Do not pull or stretch the tubing. This could result in circuit leaks.

Inspect the tubing for damage or wear. Discard and replace the tubing as necessary.

4. Attach the headgear to the mask if necessary. Refer to the instructions that came with your headgear.

Warnings

If you are using a full face mask (a mask covering both your mouth and your nose), the mask

must be equipped with a safety (entrainment) valve.

An exhalation port is required. Do no block the exhalation port. This can reduce airflow and

result in rebreathing of exhaled air.

If the device is used by multiple persons (such as rental devices), a low-resistance, main flow

bacteria filter should be installed in-line between the device and the circuit tubing to prevent

contamination.

1. Ensure power is supplied to the device. The first screen to display will be the Philips Respironics logo,

followed by the device model screen, and then the Home screen.

The first time the device is powered on, a pop-up will prompt you to set the time on the device. The default

setting is Greenwich Mean Time, but you may adjust the time in 30 minute increments to match your local

time zone. If you choose to skip this initial time setting, the time can always be adjusted under the My

Setup menu.

Note

This time setting is not displayed as a clock function on the device. It is only used to align your therapy

data for your home care service provider's data reports.
