The
S8 C
OMPACT
system is for clinical use and home treatment of adult patients with
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The
S8 C
OMPACT
provides fixed-pressure room air via
tubing to the mask worn by your patient. The continuous air stream ‘splints’ open the
upper airway, preventing airway collapse.
The
S8 C
OMPACT
delivers pressure within the range 4 to 20 cm H
2
O. To make the
beginning of treatment more comfortable, you may set a ramp so the pressure starts
low and gradually increases to full treatment pressure over the ramp time.

CAUTION
Be careful to place the device where it cannot be bumped, and where no one will
trip over the power cord.
Note:
The S8 Compact device may be placed on the floor beside or underneath the
patient’s bed. Ensure that the area is free from dust and clear of bedding, clothes, or any
other objects that could block the air inlet.

outlet.

WARNING
•
Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is
not damaged.

) and
the other end to the mask system (

the unit is performing self-checks.
The
S8 C
OMPACT
system is now ready for use (
D-4
).
!
CAUTION
When calibrating the S8 Compact
or setting the treatment pressure, assemble the
device
as the patient would normally use it, and connect all accessories that are
normally used.
