opening has the appropriate soft cover securely attached.
2. Place the IntelliPAP on a stable surface such as a nightstand or table. If you wish, you may also place the device on
the floor at the bedside, being careful to place the unit where it won't be kicked or stepped on. Ensure that the air
inlet in the back of the device is not blocked by anything such as curtains or bedding.
NOTE
Never place the IntelliPAP system on a soft surface such as a bed or couch during operation.

OPERATION

1. Fully insert the power cord into the back of the device. Plug the other end of the power cord into the AC wall outlet.
2. Attach air supply tubing to air supply port in the back of the device.
3. Prepare the mask (supplied by your equipment provider) by referring to the mask's instruction guide.
4. Connect the air supply tubing to the mask.
NOTE–The air supply tubing supplied with the device is specially designed to prevent kinking and allow you to receive
optimal airflow. Use only the 22 mm diameter, smooth-bore, kink-resistant tubing supplied with this device or an air supply
tubing recommended by your equipment provider.

Start-up

Put on your mask and press the ON/OFF button on the keypad 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.
If your DeVilbiss IntelliPAP system includes a humidifier, its heater controls and status are displayed.
NOTE– If the display on your device is not similar to those listed above, refer to the section titled "Patient Messages" on
