Welcome!
Congratulations on choosing the ultra-small, lightweight
Z2 Auto
machine!
Your new
Z2
has been programmed with your prescribed setting and is almost
ready for use.
Please read the instructions below before using the
Z2
.
NOTE:
The
Auto Start / Stop Feature
will stop the therapy if a large
air leak is detected between the
Z2
outlet and the mask. This may
also happen at times when the mask is not being worn properly.
This common condition should be resolved once all connections
are secure, the mask is properly worn, and the
Start/Stop Button
has
been pushed or you start to breathe through the mask.
8
Accessories- Qtube® and HME
Your
Z2
comes with two accessories – the
Qtube
muffler and the
HME
(Heat Moisture Exchanger).
The
Qtube
is a reusable accessory designed to reduce acoustic noise
transmitted to the mask through the CPAP tube. See illustration below for
where to install it.
The
HME
(Heat Moisture Exchanger) works to provide humidification
by capturing the moisture as you exhale and provide it back to you as
you breathe. The
HME
is installed as close to the mask as possible. See
illustration below.
The
HME
should be discarded after seven days of consecutive use or
when it fails to provide adequate humidification.
