Warning: Each time changes are made to the circuit configuration, confirm that delivered pressures are

adequate for patient management.

Warning: The addition of accessories to the patient circuit (e.g., heated humidifier, bacteria filter, water

traps, and additional tube lengths) affects pressure and flow delivery at the patient

connection. Clinical assessment must confirm that the delivered pressures and flows are

adequate for patient management when circuit accessories are used. It may be necessary to

increase pressure delivery to compensate for the increased resistance of the circuit.

Setting Up the BiPAP S/T System

Note: Heat and moisture exchangers should not be used with the BiPAP S/T System. Testing has

shown that the ability of the unit to maintain the prescribed pressure is significantly affected

by the addition of a heat and moisture exchanger to the patient circuit.

3. See Figure 18. Plug the electrical cord into the power

connector on the back of the unit.

4. See Figure 19. Make sure the voltage selector switch on the

back of the unit is set correctly.

United States and Canada setting: 115 V

European and other countries: Check the country’s line

voltage requirements for the correct setting.

5. See Figure 20. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is OFF (0), then plug

the electrical cord into a three-prong outlet.

Note: In the United States and Canada, the use of a three-prong to

two-prong adapter or extension cord is not recommended.

6. Turn the unit on, occlude the outlet port, and confirm the presence

of flow from the exhalation port.
