RESMED 22206 Reslink Module

INTRODUCTION

The RESLINK” is a device designed for use with ResMed flow generators to help your clinician monitor your sleep and ensure that you are receiving optimal treatment.When connected to the flow generator, the REDLINK records treatment and pulse oximetry data during therapy. The data is stored on a SmartMedia ™ card-a memory card capable of storing up to 30 sessions of detailed data After treatment, the SmartMedia card containing the data can be removed from the RES LINK device and sent to your clinician for review.
RESLINK AND 58™ RESLINK
The Relink device is available in two different mechanical forms (REDLINK and S8 RES LINK) for frt different families of flow generators. The REDLINK and the S8 REDLINK function in the same way, but they attach to and detach from the flow generator in different ways. When the word ‘REDLINK’ is used in a general sense, it applies to both RESLINK and S8 REDLINK. See “Compatible flow generators” on page 18 to see which device is used with each flow generator. Note: The 58 ResUnk may not be available in all regions.
USER/OWNER RESPONSIBILITY

• The user or owner of this system shall have sole responsibility and liability for any injury to persons or damage to property resulting from:
•  the operation which is not in accordance with the operating instructions supplied
•  maintenance or modifications carried out unless in accordance with authorised instructions and by authorized persons.
  INTENDED USE
  The RES LINK is an accessory to ResMed flow generators that are used for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in adult patients. RES LINK is for home and hospital use.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

A Caution explains special measures for the safe and effective use of the device. The following are general warnings and cautions. Specific warnings and cautions appear next to the relevant instructions in the manual.

•  Use the REDLINK only for its intended use as described in this manual.

•  The REDLINK is compatible for use with certain ResMed flow generators only. See “Compatible flow generators” on page 18 for details. Do not use the REDLINK with any other flow generators.

•  Make sure that the flow generator is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the REDLINK.
  INTRODUCTION

•  Do not attempt to dismantle the REDLINK. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized agent

•  There is a serial (9-pin) port at the back of some flow generators. Do not connect the NONIN ® Xpod connector into the serial port as it may damage the oximeter.

•  SmartMedia cards should be obtained only from ResMed as custom upgrade software may be required for the operation of the ResLink

•  Avoid touching the gold contacts on the SmartMedia card.

•  The SmartMedia card should be kept in its plastic sleeve when not in use. This is because dirt may interfere with the RESLINK operation.

•  Do not use the REDLINK in the presence of flammable or explosive materials.

•  From time to time, electronic devices can be affected by irregularities in the electrical power supply. It is important to periodically check that the RESLINK is working correctly by checking the flow generator Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for any error messages. This includes checking the pulse oximeter probe for correct operation by inspecting that the Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the finger probe is illuminated when the flow generator is turned on. Contact your equipment supplier if you have any concerns about correct operation of the REDLINK.

THE RELINK SYSTEM

The REDLINK system (REDLINK and SmartMedia card) is illustrated in sections A. B and C on the illustration sheet.
ACCESSORIES
See section D on the illustration sheet (8000} Adult Flex Sensor only illustrated). The NONIN ® Model 3012 Pulse Oximeter is compatible for use with the RES LINK. It can be used with eitherthe 8000) Adult Flex Sensor or 8000AA Adult Finger Clip. The same oximeter cable can be used for either sensor. These accessories are available from ResMed.
SETIING UP THE RESLINK
See sections E and F on the illustration sheet Note: Your clinician may have already set up the ResUnk for you.
INSERTING THE CARD
CAUTION
Avoid touching the gold contacts on the SmartMedia card.

1.  Open the REDLINK cover.
2.  Insert the SmartMedia card into the card slot on the RES LINK (E-1 ). Make sure that the card is aligned as shown in the diagram.
3. Close the cover after inserting the SmartMedia card.

REDLINK

1.  Ensure that the flow generator is powered off before attaching the SS REDLINK. You will need to tum the power off at the wall outlet.

2.  Take off the module currently attached to the flow generator (F-1) and store it in the flow generator bag.

3.  Push the SS REsLINK onto the flow generator (F-2), making sure that both the top and bottom latches engage firmly with the flow generator. Note: The SB ResUnk does not have a locking lever.

4.  When attached, the SS REslJNK should frt closely onto the back of the flow generator (F-3).
   CONNECTING AN OXIMETER TO THE RESLINK (OPTIONAL)
   Your clinician may have supplied an oximeter for use with the REDLINK. Connecting an oximeterto the REDLINK allows collection and storage of oximetry data (oxygen saturation and pulse rate).

5.  Ensure that the sensor cable is properly connected to the Xpod connector (see illustration D).

6.  Insert the oximeter plug into the REsLINK oximeter port (E-6).

Your clinician will have attached the sensor to the adhesive side of the FlexiWrap.

1.  Remove the adhesive backing from the FlexiWrap.
2. Carefully position any one of your fingers (not the thumb) on diode A on the FlexiWrap (G-1 ). Wrap the two small lower flaps onto the sides of your finger.
3.  Carefully fold the FlexiWrap over the tip of your finger (G-2). Diode B must be positioned on your fingernail. Check that the two diodes are aligned, with B directly above A (G-3).
4.  Wrap the long flap around your finger to secure the sensor (G-4). The FlexiWrap should feel firm, but not uncomfortably tight
5.  Secure the sensor wire to the base of the finger or wrist using medical tape (G-5).

ATTACHING THE NONIN 8000AA ADULT FINGER CUP
See section H on the illustration sheet

1.  Open the Finger Clip (H-1) and place your finger inside the device (H-2).
2.  Close the Finger Clip (H-3).
3.  Secure the sensor wire to the base of the finger or wrist using medical tape.
   Note: For more details. please refer to the user guide supplied with the oximeter

USING THE RELINK

1.  Tum on the flow generator. A series of messages will be displayed on the flow generator LCD. When the following message is displayed, you know that there link is correctly connected. SXlSS 0301 nk -+— The number displayed will software reflect the Relink

2.  If necessary. the software in your flow generator will be automatically upgraded. The upgrade ensures that your flow generator is compatible for use with the REDLINK.
   If’ WARNING

3. The flow generator will not deliver therapy during the upgrade. Do not put the mask on until the upgrade is completed. During the upgrade, the LCD backlight flashes, and the following is displayed:
   UPG ADDING, WAIT.
   On some flow generators, this screen may be shown in multiple languages prior to the upgrade. The upgrade can take up to 20 minutes. Please wait for completion. When the upgrade is successful the WELCOME screen will be displayed on the LCD. Note: If the upgrade is interrupted for any reason, tum the flow generator off, ensure the ResUnk is properly attached and the SmartMedia card is inserted, then tum the ff ow generator back on to restart the upgrade. Note that the LCD message may not be shown following an interruption; the screen may be blank for up to 20 minutes during the upgrade.
   USING THE RELINK 7
   STARTING TREATMENT
   Start treatment as described in the flow generator User’s Manual. The REslrNK will automatically collect and store treatment data
   STOPPING TREATMENT
   Press the Front key on your flow generator to stop therapy at the end of the night. If attached. remove the oximeter sensor from your finger. After stopping therapy on the last night that you use the REDLINK, wait for 15 minutes then tum off your flow generator at the power switch.
