the 22 mm diameter, smooth-bore, kink-resistant tubing supplied with this
device or an air supply tubing recommended by your equipment provider.
Start-up
Put on your mask and press the ON/OFF button on the keypad OR put on your CPAP
mask and take a few breaths to turn on airflow automatically. The pressure in
your mask will rise to the set pressure in about 10 seconds.
NOTE –If the device does not automatically start after taking 2-3
breaths, this feature may have been disabled. If Auto ON/ OFF is disabled, you
must manually press the ON/OFF button to start and stop the device.
The keypad display shows the actual mask pressure while the device is in use.
Because this is the actual pressure, the device pressure reading may vary
slightly as you breathe.
If your DeVilbiss IntelliPAP system includes a humidifier, its heater controls
and status are displayed.
NOTE – If the display on your device is not similar to those listed
above, refer to the section titled “Patient Messages” on page EN-8.
Controlling the Humidity (optional)
The heater setting can be adjusted within a range of 1 to 10. The optimum
temperature setting is dependent on the ambient temperature and humidity of
your room. If your room temperature is low and/or the relative humidity is
high, then a lower temperature setting may be necessary to prevent excess
condensation in the air supply tubing. If the room temperature is high and/or
the relative humidity is low, then a higher temperature setting may be
necessary for optimum comfort.
The heater setting of 1 results in a heater plate temperature of approximately
84°F (29°C). The heater setting of 10 results in a heater plate temperature of
approximately 149°F (65°C).
NOTE –Always allow at least 10 minutes of cooling time after turning the
device off before removing the water chamber from the humidifier cradle.
WARNING
Do not attempt to fill the humidifier while it is attached to the humidifier
cradle. Damage to the humidifier cradle
may occur.
CAUTION – Use only distilled water that is at room temperature. Do not
add any medication or other additives to the water.
CAUTION– For proper operation, ensure the flow generator is OFF before
inserting the humidifier chamber.
WARNING
Never touch the heater plate on the humidifier cradle. Never touch the heat
transfer plate on the bottom of the water chamber. These plates can reach
temperatures as high as 149°F (65°C) during operation.
Do not operate the heater if the water chamber is empty. The heater plate may
be turned off using the keypad heater control when being used without water.
SmartCode and adherence score information Your homecare provider may contact
you to retrieve SmartCode and Adherence Score information. To display the
SmartCode, press the LEFT arrow key once. Use the UP arrow or DOWN arrow keys
to change the SmartCode reporting period. Press the LEFT arrow key again to
display the Adherence Score.
The Quick View Menu shows a summary of information that is reported in the
SmartCode data. Information in the Quick View includes: Number of days used
more than 4 hours (or can be set to 5 hours by a clinician), AHI
(Apnea/Hypopnea Index), High Leak percent (percent of time at leak >95 L/m),
and Daily Usage (average hours per day used). Each parameter can be viewed in
any of four-time periods, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days and 90 days.
Compliance information can be viewed without turning the CPAP on. With the
blower OFF (display shows OFF), press the left or right arrow keys on the
keypad to scroll through the information.
Generating Compliance Reports for Employer/Insurer/Physician SmartCode reports
satisfy most requirements for ongoing compliance/adherence information, and
the software retains 1,023 days (2.8 years) of data. We recommend you work
with your provider to establish a routine for clearing SmartCode data to
ensure current usage information is available. The compliance meter should be
cleared only after the required report is generated, submitted, and approved
by the requestor. Once cleared, a new cycle of 2.8 years begins and the only
source for the previous data will be the hard-copy reports.
NOTE-Only the provider has access to clear the meter.
Using the smartFlex Feature
Your IntelliPAP has a SmartFlex pressure relief feature to help make it easier
for exhale against your prescribed pressure by lowering the pressure slightly
when you exhale. The pressure returns to your prescribed pressure during
inhale to maintain your therapy.
The SmartFlex menu is available in all modes and is a sub-menu that allows you
to control various functions of your IntelliPAP. It is accessed by pressing
the down button while “SmartFlex Menu” is shown on the Display.
SmartFlex pressure relief includes three settings for exhale relief; 1, 2, and
3. (1 is the least amount of relief, 3 is the most amount of relief). Setting
SmartFlex pressure relief to OFF turns the SmartFlex feature OFF.
The pressure waveform can also be adjusted independently for inhale and exhale
to smooth the transition when SmartFlex pressure relief is active. The
pressure waveform settings are SmartFlex-i (IRnd) and SmartFlex-e (ERnd) with
settings from 0 to 5 in steps of 1 (0 is the least amount of smoothing, 5 is
the most amount of smoothing).
SmartFlex pressure relief can be operated Full Time or during the Delay Only.
The display will show “FLX” in the top row of the default screen (between CPAP
pressure and Mode) while SmartFlex pressure relief is operating.
When SmartFlex pressure relief is turned on Full Time, the pressure relief
operates at all times when you are breathing on the device. When SmartFlex
pressure relief is set to Delay Only, the pressure relief operates only
during the Comfort Delay period and turns off after the delay period is
finished.
The device contains a SmartFlex disengagement feature. If a patient is
experiencing a respiratory event while the CPAP is in the relief pressure
mode, after a limited time the CPAP will shift to the prescription pressure
and remain at this pressure until normal breathing resumes.
Using the comfort Delay Feature
Your IntelliPAP has a comfort delay feature to help make it easier for you to
fall asleep. The airflow will start at low pressure and then gradually ramp up
to the prescribed setting over the last few minutes of the specified delay
time.
NOTE –When the delay comfort feature is activated, a message will flash
on the display periodically, indicating the amount of time remaining in the
delay.
You can adjust the amount of time spent in comfort delay by using the advanced
device controls. The Delay Time can be adjusted from 0 to 45 minutes in
5-minute increments.
NOTE –If you are unable to change the delay time, your provider has
locked this setting.
Press the delay button to activate the comfort delay feature. The airflow
pressure will drop to the prescribed comfort delay pressure.
In the final 10 minutes of the delay period, the pressure will gently rise to
the pressure prescribed for your therapy. You may repeat the comfort delay by
pressing the delay button again if you have not fallen asleep during the first
use.
NOTE -The AutoAdjust will not adjust the pressure setting during the
comfort delay period, allowing you to fall asleep without responding to early
respiratory events.
Shut Down
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the device off. You may also simply remove
your mask. After a few seconds, the device will display the message “Mask Off.
Please check mask fit.” If you do not put the mask on again the device will
automatically turn off in about 20 seconds. Pressing any button will remove
the message from the display.
NOTE –If the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP does not turn off automatically, the
Auto-OFF feature may have been disabled. In this case, you must manually turn
the device off.

INTELLIPAP TRAVAL INFORMATION
International Power Changes
Your IntelliPAP is approved for sale and use in North America and is equipped
with a universal power supply that is automatically capable of accepting line
voltages of 100 to 240V~ 50/60Hz. Simply contact your equipment provider for
the correct style power cord for the region in which you will be traveling
(refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part number) to adapt
your unit to the country’s power.
Altitude
Your IntelliPAP automatically compensates for changes in altitude between sea
level and 9000 ft (2750 m). You do not need to make adjustments to the device
for changes in altitude.
INTELLIPAP DC OPERATION
Battery power
Your IntelliPAP can be operated from a 12V DC power source in a motor home,
boat or other recreational vehicle using the 12V DC cable. Alternatively, you
can power your IntelliPAP using a 12V DC stand-alone battery with a DC
battery clamp on the adapter and 12V DC cable. All cables are available from
your equipment provider (refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the
correct part numbers). The stand-alone battery connection uses clamps that
attach to the terminal connections of the battery.
NOTE –The heater for the IntelliPAP’s humidification system will not
operate directly from a 12V DC power source. If you need humidification, non-
heated humidification is still available. Alternately, instead of
connecting12V DC power directly to the IntelliPAP, you can pass the DC power
through an inverter that will deliver AC power to the system. This will allow
the heater to function. The power rating of the inverter must be at least 200
watts @ 110V~ / 400 watts @ 220V~.
NOTE –The IntelliPAP will automatically switch power sources between AC
and 12V DC if both sources are available. If your unit is connected to both AC
and 12V DC power sources, it will operate on AC power as long as AC power is
present, and automatically switch to 12V DC power if AC power is lost. When AC
power is restored, it will return to the AC source. You do not need to reset
or adjust any settings when the power source switches, but remember that your
heater will not operate on 12V DC.
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN
WARNING-OXYGEN USE
- Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not smoke while using this device with supplemental oxygen. Do not use this device near hot objects, volatile substances or sources of open flames.
- Always turn on the IntelliPAP before turning on the oxygen source. Turn off the oxygen source before turning off the IntelliPAP.
- This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
- At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary depending on the pressure setting, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP devices.
- Never allow the oxygen source to run continuously while connected to the IntelliPAP if the device is not in use. If the IntelliPAP is not being used, turn off the oxygen flow.
CAUTION
- Oxygen is a prescribed gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.
- The flow setting of the oxygen source must be specified by a physician.
Supplemental oxygen is sometimes prescribed in addition to CPAP for treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If your physician prescribed oxygen for your sleep therapy, you can add the oxygen in one of two ways:
- Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care provider and connect it to the air supply port on the IntelliPAP. Connect one end of the air supply tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end of the air supply tubing to the mask.
- If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you apply oxygen directly to your mask.
