filter; doing so will result in device damage. If this occurs, discontinue use and remove the power cord from the
power source. Allow the device to completely dry before use.
• Do not place the IntelliPAP where it can be knocked onto the floor or where the power cord may create a trip hazard.
• Only the DeVilbiss DV5 series Heated Humidifier system is recommended for use with the IntelliPAP. Other
humidifier systems may prevent the device from detecting snoring and may cause inappropriate pressure levels in
the mask.
• Empty and dry humidifier water chamber before transporting.

INTRODUCTION

Intended Use

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP model DV55 S Series and DV56 ST Series Bilevel CPAP is intended for use in treating OSA in
spontaneously breathing patients 30 kg (66 lbs) and above by means of application of positive air pressure. The device is
to be used in home and clinical environments.
Indications For Use (Optional Heated Humidifier)
Use on the advice and prescription of a licensed physician to help relieve the symptoms of dryness of the throat, nasal
passages and the mouth, which are common with positive airway pressure therapy. This is especially true in dry climates
and during the cold season when humidity in the air is typically lower than at other times.
Contraindications
Positive airway pressure therapy may be contraindicated in some patients with the following pre-existing conditions:
• severe bullous lung disease
• pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
• pathologically low blood pressure, particularly if associated with intravascular volume depletion
• dehydration
• cerebrospinal fluid leak, recent cranial surgery or trauma
