1-2 REMSTAR AUTO M SERIES USER MANUAL

1.2 INTENDED USE

e Respironics REMstar Auto M Series system is a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

device designed for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea only in spontaneously breathing

patients weighing >30 kg.

e device is to be used only on the instruction of a licensed physician. e system can deliver

CPAP therapy or Auto-CPAP therapy, both with and without C-Flex. Your home care provider

will make the correct pressure settings according to your health care professional’s prescription.

When set in the Auto-CPAP therapy, the system will monitor your breathing as you sleep and

automatically adjust the pressure to meet your needs. When in CPAP therapy, the system will

deliver a continuous, set pressure during the night.

Several accessories are available to make your OSA treatment with the REMstar Auto M Series

system as convenient and comfortable as possible. To ensure that you receive the safe,

eﬀective therapy prescribed for you, use only Respironics accessories.

1.3 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

1.3.1 WARNINGS

A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or the operator.

sede the health care professional’s instructions regarding the use of the device.

tThe operator should read and understand this entire manual before using the device.

t ɨJTEFWJDFJTOPUJOUFOEFEGPSMJGFTVQQPSU

te device should be used only with masks and connectors recommended by Respironics

or with those recommended by the health care professional or respiratory therapist. A mask

should not be used unless the device is turned on and operating properly. e exhalation

port(s) associated with the mask should never be blocked.

Explanation of the Warning: e device is intended to be used with special masks or con-

nectors that have exhalation ports to allow continuous ﬂow of air out of the mask. When the

device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device ﬂushes the exhaled air

out through the mask exhalation port. However, when the device is not operating, enough

fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed.

As with most CPAP devices, at low CPAP pressures, some exhaled gas (CO2) may remain in

the mask and be rebreathed.

1.3.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS

When assessing the relative risks and beneﬁts of using this equipment, the clinician should

understand that this device can deliver pressures up to 20 cm H2O. In the event of certain fault

conditions, a maximum pressure of 30 cm H2O is possible. Studies have shown that the following

pre-existing conditions may contraindicate the use of CPAP therapy for some patients:

sure. Caution should be used when prescribing CPAP for susceptible patients such as those

with: cerebral spinal ﬂuid (CSF) leaks, abnormalities of the cribriform plate, prior history of

head trauma, and/or pneumocephalus. (Chest 1989; 96:1425-1426)

e use of positive airway pressure therapy may be temporarily contraindicated if you exhibit

signs of a sinus or middle ear infection. Not for use with patients whose upper airways are by-

passed. Contact your physician if you have any questions concerning your therapy.

1.4 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

e REMstar Auto M Series device, shown in Figure 1–2, is a CPAP (Continuous Positive Air-

way Pressure) device designed for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It can deliver

CPAP therapy or Auto-CPAP therapy.

When prescribed for you, the device provides several special features to help make your therapy

more comfortable. e ramp function allows you to lower the pressure when you are trying to fall

asleep. e air pressure will gradually increase until your prescription pressure is reached. You also

have the option of not using the ramp feature at all.

Additionally, the C-Flex comfort feature provides you with pressure relief when you exhale during

therapy.

Several accessories are also available for use with your REMstar Auto M Series device. Contact

your home care provider to purchase any accessories not included with your system.
