1. Introduction

This manual should be used for initial set up of the system and saved for reference purpose.

1.1 General Information

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition that an intermitted and repetitive obstruction of the

upper respiratory tract causes a complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) block of breathing airflow

during sleep. The syndrome varies depending on the degree of relaxation of the tongue and soft

palate muscle.

The most common treatment for OSA is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP

devices can deliver a constant air pressure into your upper airway via a nasal mask. This

constant air pressure can keep your airway open during sleep, therefore prevents the OSA.

This device is a micro-processor controlled continuous positive airway pressure device. It

features the illuminated, menu-driven LCD display, universal power supply and ramp time

adjustment. The ramp time adjustment and ultra quiet operation ensure you to fall asleep

comfortably while air pressure slowly builds up to treatment level. The user compliance meter

records the total system’s operating time for physician’s reference.

The system has been tested and successfully approved to the following standards:

IEC/EN 60601-1

IEC/EN 60601-1-2

IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Class A

IEC/EN 61000-3-3
