6. CONNECT YOUR PATIENT
Wait until the "Ready for use" symbol is displayed on the Summary
screen.
"Ready for use" symbol
Connect the patient interface to the heated breathing tube.
Monitor the flow and oxygen values displayed on the Summary screen.
Adjust the level of oxygen from the oxygen source as necessary.
When the patient first uses the unit, the air will feel warm. This is
normal. The patient should continue to breathe normally through the
nose and/or mouth, or tracheostomy.

7. DURING USE

If the "Ready for use" symbol has been displayed for 2 minutes and no
button has been pushed in this time, a screensaver will be launched.

CONDENSATE MANAGEMENT

The unit must be placed below head height and flat, this allows
condensate to drain towards the water chamber, away from the patient.
If excess condensate accumulates in the heated breathing tube,
disconnect the patient interface from the heated breathing tube, drain
the condensate by lifting the patient end of the tube, allowing the
condensate to run into the water chamber.
At higher target flow rates, it may be necessary to first reduce the
target flow rate to 30 L/min or below, to ensure the condensate drains
into the water chamber.
Minimize local sources of cooling acting on the heated breathing tube,
such as a fan to cool the patient, or an air-conditioning unit/vent.
If condensate persists, consider turning the target temperature down.
Note, a lower target temperature will decrease the humidity output of
the unit, decreasing the level of condensation.
Note: The temperature and humidity level delivered to the patient will
also be reduced.

8. AFTER USE

Switch off the unit by pressing the On/Off button.
