Starting Treatment

The VPAP Malibu unit should be assembled beside your bed with the air tubing
and mask system connected. See "Setting Up the VPAP Malibu" on page 13.
1
Turn the main power switch at the back of the unit to on (I).
When the VPAP Malibu is turned on, a welcome message is displayed on the
LCD screen. The VPAP Malibu (or Ramp or Settling) screen then appears.
Note: If you have the HumidAire 2i attached, please refer to the relevant user
manual for operating instructions.
2
Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.
3
Lie down and arrange the air tubing so that it is free to move if you turn in your
sleep.
CAUTION
!
Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of your bed. It
•
could twist around your head or neck while you are sleeping.
Make sure the area around the flow generator is dry and clean. It should
•
also be clear of bedding, clothes, and other potential blockages.
4
To start treatment, simply breathe into the mask (see "SmartStart™/SmartStop"
on page 23).
Air will begin flowing slowly and will build up to full operating pressure in about
10 to 15 seconds.
Note: If the VPAP Malibu does not start automatically, you can also press the
Front key.
