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 watch the sleep apnea

video on the enclosed DVD and review the manufacturer’s user

guides along with the other educational materials that were

included with your equipment. The sleep apnea video can also be

found on Apria Healthcare’s website at apria.com/resource-center

in the “Video Library” section located at the bottom of the screen.

Additional information is also available at apria.com/sleep-apnea.

Your Device and Settings

A licensed Apria clinician has programmed your PAP machine

with the settings prescribed by your physician. If your doctor

recommends changes to your PAP settings, please notify Apria

Healthcare immediately so that the clinician can make any

necessary adjustments.

STEP 1

To set up the device:

1. Place the device on a stable level surface.

2. Connect the power cord into the power inlet at the rear of the device. Connect one

end of the power cord into the AC adaptor and the other end into the power outlet.

Ensure the device is set up and connected to power to enable settings to be applied

wirelessly to the device if required.

3. Connect the air tubing firmly to the outlet connector at the rear of the device.

4. Open the humidifier tub and fill it with distilled water up to the maximum water level

mark. The humidifier tub must be removed from the device before adding water. The

humidifier tub has a maximum capacity of 380 mL.

5. Close the humidifier tub and insert it into the side of the device.

6. Connect the free end of the air tubing firmly onto the assembled mask.

See the mask user guide for detailed information.

Recommended masks for use with this device are listed on ResMed.com.

Note:

• Do not insert any USB cable into the AirSense 11 device or attempt to plug the AC

adaptor into a USB device. This may cause damage to the AirSense 11 device or

USB device.

• The electrical connector end of the heated air tubing is only compatible with the air

outlet at the device end and should not be fitted to the mask.

• Do not use electrically conductive or anti-static air tubing.

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

multiple cushions, 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.

myAir™ is a smartphone app that guides you through the setup process.

See page 14 of this booklet for more information.

Nasal Mask

1. Release the lower strap magnets 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. Bring each of the magnets

up to meet their corresponding clips on the frame.

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

towards 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 over-tighten. 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. Reattach the fastening tabs.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 Attach Oxygen To Your PAP Machine

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.

If you are using non-heated tubing,

and you are also using prescribed

oxygen, follow these instructions.

Attach the oxygen tee adapter that was

included in the box to your PAP machine.

Next, attach the large-bore PAP tubing to

the oxygen tee adapter. Finally, connect

the small-bore oxygen tubing to the

oxygen tee adapter.

For detailed instructions on oxygen use, you should also review the PAP and oxygen

manufacturer’s user guides included in your package.

Control Auto when you plug the tubing into the machine (unless your doctor has

prescribed a specific heat and humidity setting.)
