Functions of the Device
Ramp
Whenever the blower has been started, the micro-
controller of the device checks whether a soft start
ramp has been programmed. While the programmed
time elapses, the soft start function increases the
pressure from an adjustable initial ramp pressure
(P-Ramp) up to the pressure prescribed, thus allow-
ing you to fall asleep more easily.
In particular if you are not yet used to the respira-
tion therapy the soft start can help you get accus-
tomed to the device and fall asleep easily.
The device allows delay times ranging from zero (the
prescribed therapy pressure is applied at once) to
60 minutes (the prescribed therapy pressure is built
up within 60 minutes).
The initial ramp pressure (P-Ramp) can be set by
health professionals within a range from 4 hPa to
the pressure prescribed.
To set the ramp,
fi
rst go to the Patient-Menu (press
the
key for approx. 1 second), then select
