RESMED ClimateLine Air Tubing
Thank you for choosing the ClimateLine, ClimateLineMAX or ClimateLineMAX Oxy
(hereafter ‘ClimateLine’) air tubing. The ClimateLine is heated air tubing
that delivers the desired temperature at the mask and enables you to use
Climate Control. Climate Control maintains humidity at comfortable levels.
Please read this entire user instructions before using your air tubing.
Note : The ClimateLine is designed for use only with the H5i. If you are
using the S9 without the H5i, please use your SlimLine or Standard air tubing.
Setup
- Remove the rubber cover from the rear of the H5i.
- Align the ClimateLine with the ClimateLine connection port so that the lock symbol is facing up. Push the ClimateLine firmly onto the air outlet.
- Rotate the ClimateLine clockwise until it clicks into place.
- Connect the assembled mask system to the free end of the ClimateLine air tubing. Refer to your S9 Welcome Guide for general setup information.
If you use the ClimateLineMAX Oxy with supplemental oxygen, perform the following steps in addition to the ones described above:
- Remove the cap from the oxygen connector.
- Connect the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen connector. Ensure that it is attached firmly.
Notes:
- Before adding oxygen, familiarize yourself with the specific warnings relating to the use of supplemental oxygen. These can be found at the end of your S9 Information Guide.
- If you use the ClimateLineMAX Oxy without supplemental oxygen, ensure that the cap of the oxygen connector is attached firmly.
Climate Control
Climate Control is an intelligent system that controls the H5i and the ClimateLine to deliver constant, comfortable temperature and humidity levels during therapy. Designed to prevent dryness of the nose and mouth, it automatically maintains the temperature and relative humidity while you sleep.
Climate Control modes
Climate Control Auto
The recommended (default) setting for Climate Control is Auto mode. In Auto mode, you have the ability to adjust air temperature (61-86°F (16-30°C)) depending on preference. Based on your selected air temperature, Climate Control automatically adjusts the humidifier output to maintain a constant, comfortable humidity level of 80% relative humidity while protecting against rainout. In Auto mode the default air temperature is set to 80°F (27°C).
Climate Control Manual
If enabled by the clinician, Climate Control can also be set to Manual. In
this mode, air temperature and humidity can be set independently, providing
you greater flexibility but without the rainout protection guaranteed in Auto
mode. In this mode, air temperature (61–86°F (16–30°C)) and humidity level
(0–6) can be set independently. If rainout occurs, either increase air
temperature or decrease the humidity setting.
Note : Images depict the US product. Temperatures will be displayed in
celsius for all other regions.
