Using The Smartflex Feature; Controlling The Humidity; Shut Down - DeVilbiss SleepCube Standard Plus Serie Manual De Usuario

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.

using the SmartFlex Feature

Your SleepCube 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
SleepCube. 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.
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.
