Startup

To begin operation, verify that your IntelliPAP is connected to a
'live' power source. When plugged in, the LCD display should
appear as noted.
Put on your CPAP mask and press the ON/OFF button on the keypad to turn on airflow OR
put on your CPAP mask and take a few breaths to turn on airflow automatically. The
pressure in your mask will rise to the set pressure in about 10 seconds.
NOTE
– If the device does not automatically start after taking 2-3 breaths, this feature may have been
disabled. If Auto ON/OFF is disabled, you must manually press the ON/OFF button to start and
stop the device.
The keypad display shows the actual mask pressure while the
device is in use. Because this is the actual pressure, the device
pressure reading may vary slightly as you breathe. Your display
should appear as noted.
If your DeVilbiss IntelliPAP system includes a humidifier, its heater
controls and status are displayed as noted in the image.
NOTE–
If the display on your device is not similar to those listed above, refer
to the chapter section titled "Patient Messages" on page 15.

Using The Comfort Delay Feature

Your IntelliPAP has a comfort delay feature to help make it easier for you to fall asleep. The
airflow will start at a low pressure and then gradually ramp-up to the prescribed setting over
the last few minutes of the specified delay time.
NOTE–
When the delay comfort feature is activated, a message will flash on the display periodically,
indicating the amount of time remaining in the delay.
You can adjust the amount of time spent in comfort delay by using
the advanced device controls. The Delay Time can be adjusted
from 0 to 45 minutes in 5-minute increments. Refer to page
details.
NOTE–
If you are unable to change the delay time, your provider has locked this setting. Refer to the
keypad menu guide on page 12 for details.
Comfort delay is available in both IntelliPAP Standard and IntelliPAP AutoAdjust models, and
in all modes of operation.
Comfort Delay Feature In Standard CPAP Mode
When you use the comfort delay feature while your device is operating in CPAP mode, the
airflow you receive at the beginning of your therapy is temporarily lowered to a pressure
selected by your physician when the device was setup.
