Assembling the Circuit
- Assemble the circuit. To use the system, you will need the following accessories in order to assemble the recommended circuit.
• Nasal Mask with integrated exhalation port
• 6 ft. (1.83 m) flexible Tubing
• Headgear (for the mask)
WARNING!
• If multiple persons are going to use the RESmart (e.g., rental devices), a low-resistance, main flow bacteria filter should be installed inline between the RESmart and the circuit tubing. Pressures must be verified by your home care provider when alternate or optional accessories are in place.
a. Connect the flexible tubing to the air outlet on the front of the resort.
b. If you are using a mask with a built-in exhalation port, connect the mask’s connector to the flexible tubing.
If you are using a mask with a separate exhalation port, connect the flexible tubing to the exhalation port. Position the exhalation port so that the vented air is blowing away from your face. Connect the mask’s connector to the exhalation port.
WARNING!
• Do not block or otherwise try to seal the air openings (vent holes) on the exhalation port. Explanation of the warning: The RESmart is intended to be used with masks and circuits that have an exhalation port designed to exhaust CO2 from the circuit. When the RESmart is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the RESmart flushes the exhaled air out through the exhalation port. When the RESmart is turned off, enough fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most CPAP devices.
WARNING!
• If you are using a full face mask (i.e., a mask covering both your mouth and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety (entrainment) valve.
Accessories
Contact your home care provider for additional information on the accessories available for the RESmart system. When using optional accessories, always follow the instructions enclosed with the accessories.
Adding a Humidifier
The InH2 Heated Humidifier is available from your home care provider. The
humidifier may reduce nasal dryness and irritation by adding moisture (and
heat if applicable) to the airflow.
WARNING!
• The RESmart unit should only be connected to the humidifiers or accessories
specified in this Manual. Connection of other Items may result in injury or
damage to the RESmart unit.
Adding Oxygen
Oxygen may be added at the mask connection. Please note the warnings listed
below when using oxygen with the RESmart.
WARNING!
• The oxygen supply must comply with the local regulations for medical oxygen.
WARNING!
• Turn the RESmart on before turning the oxygen on. Turn the oxygen off before
turning the RESmart off.
Explanation of Warning: When the RESmart is turned off, but the oxygen flow is
still turned on, oxygen may accumulate within the RESmart enclosure and create
a fire risk. Turning the oxygen off before turning the RESmart off will
prevent oxygen accumulation in the RESmart and will reduce the risk of fire.
This warning applies to most CPAP devices.
WARNING!
• Oxygen accelerates fires. Keep the RESmart and the oxygen container away
from heat, open flames, any oily substance, or other sources of ignition. Do
not smoke in the area near the RESmart or the oxygen container.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcasts, and TV broadcasts cannot be predicted theoretically with
accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the
measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be observed to
verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strengths should be
less than 10 V/m.
