ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This Nitelog User Manual provides information on how to use the proprietary
mobile app, Nitelog, to enhance the use of the Z1 Auto or Z2 Auto. Nitelog’s
functionality ranges from device remote control to data viewing via its
embedded Bluetooth capability. Please note all Z1 and Z2 functions can be
controlled without the use of this mobile app directly through the device.
Nitelog is compatible with both Z1 Auto and Z2 Auto CPAP systems from Breas
Medical.
This Nitelog User Manual is meant to supplement the information in the Z1 Auto
User Guide or Z2 Auto User Guide that was provided with the purchase of the Z1
Auto CPAP or Z2 Auto CPAP. It is not intended to replace the User Guide. As
such, the owner/user of the Z1 or Z2 Auto System is responsible for reading
and understanding the User Guide. The user is responsible for any injury or
damage that results from:
- Operation of the Z1 or Z2 other than in accordance with the operating instructions contained in the User Guide supplied.
- Unauthorized maintenance or modifications to the device or attached accessories.
Medical Information
Indications for Use

continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to support treatment of adults
weighing over 66 lbs (30 kg) with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Please see the Z1 or Z2 Auto User Guides for Contraindications and Adverse
Effects that may occur during the use of this medical device.
WARNINGS:

physician.

Data
All sleep data generated through Nitelog is stored directly on the Android
device until you manually log out of the app and if you choose, our secure
data cloud. If you logout of the app the data is deleted from the Android
device and will need to be re synced either from the cloud or the Z1 or Z2
Auto CPAP. The cloud service is free of charge and backs up all of your sleep
data. You can use the cloud to backup your data and restore it to another
Android device. The option is located in the app under Data in the menu.
The data is stored anonymously and is only accessible from within the Nitelog
app with your proper credentials.

GOALS
Setting Sleep Goals
Nitelog allows you to set sleep goals and track your progress towards meeting
your goals. To set your personal goals, select the Menu icon in the upper left
hand corner and go to Goals.
-
Press on the green box with the number in it to set the number of hours you would like to sleep as a goal.
-
Scroll to select the number of hours.
AH Index
Nitelog can also track the quality of your sleep by calculating your AHI. AHI is the Apnea Hypopnea Index, in other words, the average number of apnea and hypopnea events. It is calculated by taking the total number of apnea and hypopnea events that occurred during your sleep and dividing it by the number of hours slept.
Example: If you had a total of 24 events during the course of 8 hours of sleep, your AHI would be 3. The lower the AHI, the better the quality of your sleep. -
This section explains what the AH Index emojis mean on your Dashboard.
AHI < 5 is normal sleep
AHI = 5-15 is mild sleep apnea
AHI = 15-30 is moderate sleep apnea
AHI > 30 is severe sleep apnea
Individual sleep goals vary. Discuss with your physician what your sleep goals should be.
DASHBOARD

The Dashboard displays your sleep data in graphical form.
- The buttons at the top let you switch the data range you are viewing from a single day, week, month or a custom range. Press the Day / Week/ Month/ Custom button to switch between them.
- The date that corresponds to the data is in the middle below the buttons.
- Use the arrow (< >) buttons to change the date range in view.

- AH Index emojis are displayed to show the quality of your sleep based on the AHI of the period displayed. The Goals screen explains what the emojis mean. See page 8.
Note: If no data is showing up or you are missing data in the Dashboard, adjust the Sleep Start Time in the User Settings to before your normal sleep time. See page 10.
