If multiple persons are going to use the RESmart BPAP 20T/25T/30T (e.g., rental devices), a
low-resistance, main flow bacteria filter should be installed in-line between the RESmart BPAP
20T/25T/30T and the circuit tubing. Pressures must be verified by your home care provider
when alternate or optional accessories are in place.
a. Connect the flexible tubing to the air outlet on the front of the RESmart BPAP 20T/25T/30T.
b. If you are using a mask with a built-in exhalation port, connect the mask’s connector to the
flexible tubing.
If you are using a mask with a separate exhalation port, connect the flexible tubing to the
exhalation port. Position the exhalation port so that the vented air is blowing away from your
face. Connect the mask’s connector to the exhalation port.
WARNING!
Do not block or otherwise try to seal the air openings (vent holes) on the exhalation port.
Explanation of the warning: The RESmart BPAP 20T/25T/30T is intended to be used with masks
and circuits that have an exhalation port designed to exhaust CO
2
from the circuit. When the
RESmart BPAP 20T/25T/30T is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the RESmart
BPAP 20T/25T/30T flushes the exhaled air out through the exhalation port. When the RESmart
BPAP 20T/25T/30T is turned off, enough fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and
exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can,
in some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most BPAP devices.
WARNING!
If you are using a full face mask (i.e., a mask covering both your mouth and your nose), the
mask must be equipped with a safety (entrainment) valve.
IMPORTANT!
Before each use, examine the flexible tubing for any damage or debris. If necessary, clean the
tubing to remove the debris. Replace any damaged tubing.
c. Connect the mask to the headgear, following the instructions included with the headgear.
d. Put on the mask and headgear, and breathe normally through your nose. The airflow should
automatically start when you begin breathing through the circuit. If the airflow does not start
within four breaths, press the
Pressure
Start/Stop Button
on the top of the RESmart
BPAP 20T/25T/30T. When operating the system with some mask types or some circuit
configurations, the airflow may NOT automatically start.
3.2.2 Adjusting the breathing circuit
Lie down on your bed, and adjust the flexible tubing so it is free to move if you turn in your
sleep. Adjust the mask and headgear until you have a comfortable fit and there are no airflow
leaks into your eyes.
3.3 Connect the power cord
Plug the socket end of the power cord into the AC inlet on the back of the RESmart BPAP
20T/25T/30T. Plug the pronged end of the power cord into an electrical outlet. System status
will appear on the RESmart BPAP 20T/25T/30T screen.
