AUTO THERAPY

1.   Select Auto on the top menu bar. You may have pre-programmed 

therapy options to chose from in the drop-down list under Auto.

2.  Ensure the patient interface is securely in place. 

•  

 Face mask—tightly, but comfortably, cover the mouth and  
nose of the patient. Make sure the narrow end of the mask  
is over the patient’s nose.

•   Mouthpiece—put the mouthpiece lightly in the patient’s  

mouth. Make sure that the patient maintains a tight seal  
on the mouthpiece during the therapy.

•  Flexible tracheostomy adapter—if the patient has a 

tracheostomy tube or endotracheal tube, use the flexible 
tracheostomy adapter to connect the tracheal tube to  
the breathing tube.

3.   Press Start to begin therapy.

follow along with the therapy.

5.   To Halt therapy press Pause 

6.  Press RESUME THERAPY to continue the therapy or END NOW  

to stop the therapy. 

Note: The therapy will remain in a pause state for 5 minutes 
before automatically ending.

ribbon across the screen. The ribbon contains details of the 
therapy delivered and can be closed by pressing the X.
