1.2 IntEndEd usE

e Respironics REMstar Auto M Series system is a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

device designed for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea only in spontaneously breathing

patients weighing >66 lbs (30 kg).

e device is to be used only on the instruction of a licensed physician. e system can deliver

CPAP therapy or Auto-CPAP therapy. For enhanced pressure relief in CPAP mode, the REMstar

Auto M Series can also deliver C-Flex. For enhanced pressure relief in Auto mode, the REMstar

Auto M Series can deliver C-Flex or A-Flex. Your home care provider will make the correct pres-

sure settings according to your health care professional’s prescription.

When set in the Auto-CPAP therapy, the system will monitor your breathing as you sleep and

automatically adjust the pressure to meet your needs. When in CPAP therapy, the system will

deliver a continuous, set pressure during the night.

Several accessories are available to make your OSA treatment with the REMstar Auto M Series

system as convenient and comfortable as possible. To ensure that you receive the safe,

eﬀective therapy prescribed for you, use only Respironics accessories.

1.3 WarnIngs, CautIons, and ContraIndICatIons

Caution: U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

1.3.1 WarnIngs

A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or the operator.

• is manual serves as a reference. e instructions in this manual are not intended to super-

sede the health care professional’s instructions regarding the use of the device.

•The operator should read and understand this entire manual before using the device.

• is device is not intended for life support.

•e device should be used only with masks and connectors recommended by Respironics

or with those recommended by the health care professional or respiratory therapist. A mask

should not be used unless the device is turned on and operating properly. e exhalation

port(s) associated with the mask should never be blocked.

Explanation of the Warning: e device is intended to be used with special masks or con-

nectors that have exhalation ports to allow continuous ﬂow of air out of the mask. When the

device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device ﬂushes the exhaled air

out through the mask exhalation port. However, when the device is not operating, enough

fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. Re-

breathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to

suﬀocation.
