Enabling/Disabling Interface Interrupt
For Everest
®
3 CPAP models, the default setting will have
Interface Interrupt disabled, and this can only be changed by
the clinician. Once the setting is selected, the value is saved
within the device and does not change when powered off.
Note:
If your
CPAP is updated by a prescription created by the
PC Compliance software, the Interface Interrupt setting
will automatically reset to disable. If this needs to be
enabled, the clinician must manually set this or
prescription updates cannot be used.
Note:
When the Interface Interrupt Feature is disabled, the
device will not offer ‘true compliance,’ as therapy session
information will record when the device is powered up
independent of when the device is actively being used.
