APRIA Philips Respironics DreamStation 2 User Guide

APRIA Philips Respironics DreamStation 2

Overview

Your doctor has prescribed PAP therapy because you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea occurs when a person repeatedly stops breathing for 10 or more seconds at a time while sleeping. These events may occur hundreds of times throughout the night, causing oxygen levels in the blood to drop, putting stress on the heart. If left untreated, sleep apnea is linked to many other serious conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. This guide contains easy step-by-step instructions for using your PAP equipment and is designed to help you benefit from therapy as soon as your equipment arrives. Please visit Apria.com/Sleep for all of this information and more.

Get Familiar With Your PAP Equipment

If your doctor prescribed a specific mask and size, follow the fitting instructions provided by the manufacturer, then proceed to Step 3. If you received a mask with cushions of multiple sizes, follow the instructions below and on the next page.

There is a mask cushion currently attached to the frame of your mask. This size fits most patients. Once you begin therapy, if your mask is leaking or feels uncomfortable, try removing the existing cushion and replacing it with a different size cushion. If you are between sizes, it is best to use the larger cushion. Use the fitting template (for nasal mask and full-face mask) and/or the manufacturer’s instructions included with your mask for help.

Nasal Mask

1. Release the lower strap from the frame of the mask. Make sure the logo on the headgear is facing outward. While holding the mask against your face, pull the headgear over your head.
2. Position the lower straps so they both sit below the ears and adjust so they are snug.
3. Adjust the fastening tabs on the upper straps until the mask feels even and stable. Do not overtighten. Reattach the fastening tabs.
4. Repeat Step 3 with the lower straps. Reattach the fastening tabs.
5. Connect the hose to the front of the mask. Ensure that the nasal mask fits securely over your nose. It is normal to feel some air escaping through the small air vents on the elbow of the hose.

Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for additional information on topics, such as:

• How to properly remove your mask.
• How to remove and change the mask cushion.
• How to adjust the length of the mask straps.

Nasal Pillow Mask

1. Hold the pillows away from your nose with the left (L) and right (R) indicators correctly facing toward you.
2. Guide the nasal pillows into your nostrils.
3. Pull the headgear over your head by holding the bottom strap and stretching it around the back of your head.
4. Adjust the top and bottom straps. The top strap should fit comfortably on the top of your head.
5. Ensure that the nasal pillows fit securely into your nostrils, with both pillows positioned upright. If not, move the mask away from your face and then place it back again.
6. To achieve a comfortable fit, adjust the straps. Spread the straps apart to loosen, or draw them closer together to tighten.
7. If the headgear comes with a buckle, adjust the headgear by pulling the headgear through the buckle to fix mask leaks. Adjust only enough for a comfortable seal and do not overtighten. The headgear may need to be adjusted as it can stretch over time.

Full-Face Mask

1. Twist and pull both magnetic clips away from the frame. With the logo on the headgear facing outward, hold the mask against your face and pull the headgear over your head.
2. Bring the lower straps below your ears and attach the magnetic clip to the frame.
3. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps. Pull the straps evenly until the mask is stable and positioned as shown in the illustrations.
4. Reattach the fastening tabs.
5. Undo the fastening tabs on the lower headgear straps. Pull the straps evenly until the mask sits firmly on the chin and reattach the fastening tabs.
6. Connect the air tubing from your device to the elbow. Attach the elbow to the mask by pressing the side buttons and pushing the elbow into the mask.
7. To achieve a comfortable fit, readjust the straps. Evenly apply only enough tension so that a seal is achieved.

Please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for additional information on topics, such as:

• How to properly remove your mask.
• How to remove and change the mask cushion.
• How to adjust the length of the mask straps.

Heated Elements

Heated humidifier The heated humidifier is used to control the desired temperature and humidification of the air that is delivered to you from your PAP device.
Heated tubing Heated tubing is designed to maintain the temperature of the humidified air as it passes through the tube, to improve comfort. Keeping the air temperature in the tube at a constant level ensures that rainout is avoided, even if the temperature in the room drops during the night.

1. To connect heated tubing (shown), line up the pin connectors on the heated tube with the bottom of the air outlet port on the device. The clips at the end of the tubing should be aligned to the sides of the port and will click into place.
2. Connect the tubing to the mask. For proper placement and positioning, refer to the instructions that came with your mask.
3. Attach the headgear to the mask, if necessary. Refer to the instructions that came with your headgear.

Using Oxygen With Heated Tubing

1. Attach heated tubing circuit to the device outlet (shown on previous page).
2. Attach pressure valve to the other end of the heated wire tubing (the opposite end of the pressure valve connection and the end closest to the mask). See diagram of pressure valve placement on page 10.
3. Attach the oxygen tee adapter to the open end of the pressure valve. Attach the oxygen tee adapter to mask hose.
4. Attach Oxygen Tubing here

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

If you are using prescribed oxygen with your PAP device, be sure to observe all the fire and safety rules associated with the use of oxygen. Follow this sequence of steps when turning your oxygen on and off.

1. Always turn your PAP machine ON before turning ON the oxygen flow from your oxygen source.
2. Always turn OFF the oxygen flow from your oxygen source before turning OFF the PAP machine.

Using Oxygen With Non-Heated Tubing

1. Attach the pressure valve to the machine outlet.
2. Attach the oxygen tee adapter to the open end of the pressure valve.
3. Attach the large-bore PAP tubing to the small end of the oxygen tee adapter.
4. Attach the other end of the large-bore tubing to the mask hose.

IMPORTANT : When using supplemental oxygen, you must attach a pressure valve device in all cases. If you use oxygen and did not receive a pressure valve and/or oxygen tee adapter with your PAP device, please contact Apria.

Start Your PAP Machine

To start therapy:

1. Ensure power is supplied to the device, as indicated by a white ring around the therapy button.

2. Put on your mask assembly. Refer to the instructions supplied with the mask. A small amount of mask leak is normal and acceptable. Correct large amount of mask leaks or eye irritation by adjusting your mask headgear. Tips for managing mask leaks are provided on the next page.

3. Press the Therapy button on top of the device to turn on airflow and begin therapy. The Therapy button ring will illuminate blue.
   NOTE : If your homecare provider has enabled the Automatic On feature, the device will automatically turn the airflow on when you put on your mask and breathe.

4. Press the Therapy button again to turn off the therapy. The Therapy button ring will illuminate white.
   NOTE : If your homecare provider has enabled the Automatic Off feature, the device will automatically turn the airflow off when you take off your mask and the device recognizes inactivity.

Helpful Tips

For Nasal and Full-Face Masks

• To resolve leaks at the upper part of the mask, adjust the upper headgear straps.
• For leaks at the lower part, adjust the lower headgear straps.
• When adjusting straps, loosen or tighten both the left and right straps so that adjustments are made evenly.
• Adjust only enough for a comfortable seal.
• The upper strap adjustment is the key to seal and comfort.
• Do not overtighten the lower straps. They mainly serve to keep the cushion in position.

For Nasal Pillow Masks

• Position the pillow cushion tips into your nostrils so they sit comfortably under your nose without any gaps. Pull the mask away from your face, then place it back to get a comfortable fit.
• Adjust the side straps evenly by pulling downward; the mask should feel secure and comfortable against your face. Do not overtighten.
• If leaks persist, try the next larger set of cushions.
• If the pillow is not staying in place in your nostrils, try the next smaller cushion size.

Handwashing Technique

• Thorough handwashing must be done prior to all procedures. Contaminated, dirty hands are one of the most common sources of infection.

  1. Wet your hands thoroughly with warm water.
     Use soap. Scrub hands for 20 seconds using a rotary motion and friction.

  2. Wash: · Back and palm of each hand

  3. Between all fingers

  4. Fingernails
     Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice.

  5. Rinse your hands under the running water. Dry on clean towel or with a paper towel.

For additional good health habits, visit our patient education section on Apria.com.

Get Comfortable With Your Therapy

Ways to help you adjust:

• Try watching TV or reading while wearing your mask and headgear.
• Turn on the PAP device for short periods of time while wearing your mask to get used to the pressure.
• Use your equipment every night.
• Keep the device turned on for as long as you can tolerate, building up each night until you have reached at least 4 hours per night.
• Keep practicing until you are using PAP therapy during all hours of sleep, including during naps.

Cleaning Your PAP Equipment
Oil from your face and ingredients in facial products can cause the PAP mask cushions to wear down and decrease the useful life of the mask. Get in the habit of wiping down your mask each day, especially the areas that come in contact with your skin. Clean your mask and headgear weekly, according to the instructions in the mask user guide. Wash the water chamber and air tubing in warm water, using a mild detergent. Hand wash only. Do not wash in a dishwasher, as it can deteriorate the plastic. When needed, wipe the exterior of the machine with a dry cloth. Your device has an automatic air filter reminder. Refer to the manufacturers’s instructions for information on how to replace the filter. For cleaning your mask, refer to the mask user guide for detailed instructions.

Replace Supplies Regularly

SAFETY GUIDELINES

Surviving a Fire in Your Home
Take the time now to prepare — it can save lives!

An Ounce of Protection…

Smoke Alarms

• Install a smoke alarm outside of each sleeping area and on each additional level of your home.
• Install smoke alarms INSIDE sleeping areas if people sleep with their doors closed.
• Test smoke alarms once a month by pressing test buttons.
• If an alarm fails the test or starts making beeping noises, replace batteries immediately.
• Replace ALL smoke alarm batteries at least once a year.

Fire Extinguishers

• Consider purchasing one or more fire extinguishers to keep in your home.
• Read the instructions to understand how your fire extinguisher works, and make sure all family members understand how to use it.
• Read the instructions to find out how to check if your extinguisher is in working order, and how frequently it needs to be checked.

Escape Ladders

• Consider installing escape ladders for upstairs rooms.
• Learn how to use your escape ladder.
• Store ladders close to windows. Flashlights
• Keep flashlights throughout your house and make sure everyone knows where they are located.
• Check batteries regularly.
• Planning Can Prevent Panic

Escape Routes

• Figure out at least two ways for escaping for every room in your home.
• Everyone living in your home should be familiar with these escape routes.

Practice

• At least twice a year, practice using your escape plans.
• Practice crawling because you may need to escape by crawling under smoke, where the freshest air will be.

Meeting Place

• Decide on a location where everyone will meet outside your home after escaping from a fire.
• A meeting place is important so that you can quickly see if everyone has escaped.
• If a Fire Occurs…

Making Your Escape

• If there is smoke or fire in one escape route, use another route.
• If there is no way to avoid smoke, remember to stay low and crawl under the smoke, where the freshest air will be.
• If you want to escape by opening a closed door, FIRST check to see if the door feels warm before opening it. If it is warm, do NOT open the door.

Instead, use another route.

• Blocked Escape Routes If all of your escape routes are blocked by smoke, heat, or flames:
• Stay in the room and keep any doors closed.
• Keep out smoke by piling rugs, blankets, or pillows along the bottom of any doors.
• If there is a phone in the room, call 911 and tell them where you are.
• Signal out a window for help using a brightly colored cloth, sheet, towel, or flashlight.
• Stay as close to the floor as possible, near a window or door.

After Escaping

• Go to a neighbor’s house and call 911 as soon as possible.
• NEVER go back inside a burning house. Once you’re outside, stay outside!
• When firefighters arrive, tell them if you think anyone is still inside.

Tips to Avoid Falling

• Reduce your chances of falling by making home improvements and changing some habits.

Look Around Your Home

Floors

• Keep the areas where you walk free from clutter, electrical and telephone cords, and other small objects that might be easily overlooked.
• Secure loose rugs and mats with carpet tape or attach non-slip backing.
• For tile or wooden floors, avoid wax or use nonskid wax.
• Stairs should have flat surfaces. Repair holes or tears in carpeting and make sure it is well attached.
• Eliminate raised thresholds if possible or make them highly visible.

Lighting

• Make sure it’s easy to turn on a light BEFORE entering every room in your home.
• Keep night lights turned on in hallways, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
• Make sure you can easily turn on a light while in bed, before getting up.
• Place flashlights in convenient locations throughout your home, and check their batteries regularly.
• Light switches should be available at both the top and bottom of all stairs.
• Stairway lighting should be bright enough to clearly see all steps.

Bathrooms

• Tub and shower floors should have non-skid surfaces (strips or mats).
• Consider installing grab bars inside the bath or shower areas and next to the toilet.
• Consider installing a raised toilet seat.

Kitchen

• Frequently used items should be kept on lower shelves or other places that are easy to reach.
• You should have a sturdy step stool that is easy to use, preferably with a handrail. Do NOT stand on a chair to reach anything.

Stairs

• Sturdy handrails should be installed in all stairways and kept in good repair.

Outside Your Home

• Steps should have flat surfaces and be kept in good repair.
• All steps should have handrails, preferably on both sides of the steps.
• For better traction, steps can be painted with a mixture of sand and paint.
• During the winter, keep all entrances and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.
• All entrances should be well lit.
• Consider installing ramps (with handrails).

Reconsider Personal Habits

• When walking, stay alert to unexpected obstacles — cords, furniture, pets, toys, etc.
• Avoid rushing to answer phones or the door.
• Take time to make sure your balance is steady before sitting up or standing.
• Wear shoes that are supportive and snug fitting, with low heels and non-slippery soles.
• Don’t walk around with only socks on your feet.
• If carrying packages, make sure your view isn’t blocked and that you have a hand free for opening doors, holding onto railings, or steadying your balance.
• Keep alert for uneven, broken or slippery pavement, sidewalks, and ramps.
• Don’t rush to cross streets, especially if wet or icy.
• Consider using a cane or walker.
• Find out if your medications might make you feel dizzy, drowsy, or unsteady.
• If you live alone, keep in regular contact with friends, family, or neighbors.

For Emergencies

• Keep emergency phone numbers posted where they can  be easily seen. Consider whether they will be visible if you fall.
• Make sure you can easily reach a phone when in bed.

If You Fall

1. 1. Call 911 and other emergency contacts.

2. Stay warm by covering up with a blanket, coat, towel, rug, or whatever you can reach.
3.  Consult a doctor even if you don’t think you’ve been seriously hurt. Falling may indicate problems with medications or be a symptom of illness or a condition that needs treatment.
