important safeguards

Electric Shock Hazard – Do not attempt to open or remove the enclosure. There are no user-serviceable internal components. If service is required, return the product to your home care provider. Opening or tampering with the product will void the warranty.

WARNING

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP™ should be used only with masks recommended by DeVilbiss, your physician or respiratory therapist.

To avoid rebreathing of exhaled air, do not use a CPAP mask unless the device is turned on and providing a supply of air. Venting in the mask should never be blocked. When the device is turned on and providing a fresh supply of air, exhaled air is flushed out of the mask vent. However, when the device is not operating, exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most CPAP devices.

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP is not a life support device and may stop operating with certain device faults or with a power failure. It is intended to be used on spontaneously breathing individuals weighing 66 lbs/30 Kg or greater.

To avoid electric shock, always unplug power cord from wall outlet power source when performing cleaning.

Use only accessories recommended by DeVilbiss.

CAUTION–The circular data port connector located on the back of the IntelliPAP is used to attach accessories to the device. The connector must only be used with accessories approved for use by DeVilbiss. Do not attempt to attach any other device to this connector as it may damage the CPAP or the accessory device.

CAUTION–Never rinse or place the device in water. Never allow liquids to get into or around any of the ports, switches or air 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.

CAUTION–Do not place the IntelliPAP where it can be bumped onto the floor or where the power cord may create a trip hazard.

CAUTION–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.

CAUTION–Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.

introduction

INTRODUCTION

Intended Use/Indications for Use

EN

The DeVilbiss® IntelliPAP™ Model DV5 Series is intended for use in treating obstructive sleep apnea in patients 66 lbs/30 kg and above.

Contraindication

Do not use IntelliPAP if your upper airway has been bypassed.

Note–Symptoms of dryness of the throat, nasal passages, and the mouth 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. The IntelliPAP features an optional humidifier system to help minimize these effects.

What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder that affects more than 22 million Americans – approximately 4% of middle-aged men and 2% of middle-aged women.

Physiological factors such as size of tonsils, shape of the nose, narrowing of the upper airway, or any combination of these can contribute to the potential for having OSA. During sleep, your airway can relax so much that it begins to collapse and becomes obstructed. Relaxation allows the tissue at the back of your throat to vibrate as you breathe causing snoring. But as your airway collapses more fully, it blocks your airflow and stops your breathing altogether. (In fact, the word “apnea” is derived from a Greek term meaning “without breath.”)

This stoppage occurs repeatedly throughout the night, each episode lasting from just a few seconds to more than a minute. As your blood oxygen level drops to dangerous levels, your central nervous system triggers a sudden gasp for breath, partially awakening you and preventing you from experiencing the sustained, deep sleep your body needs. As a result, it is common to feel fatigued, stressed and irritable the following day – a less-than-optimal and potentially dangerous condition in which to work, drive, and make decisions.

There are important medical concerns as well. OSA starves your heart, brain, and organs of life-sustaining oxygen. Over time, this deprivation can seriously impact your health

A-DV54 5

introduction

potentially resulting in memory loss, impotence, hypertension, coronary disease, strokes, and heart attacks. Recent studies indicate that OSA has the same risk factor for heart disease as smoking, high cholesterol and alcohol, and estimate that as many as 38,000 people a year die from the effects of OSA.

Clearly, OSA is a serious medical condition that requires attention and treatment.

How CPAP Therapy Works

There are several treatments for OSA including surgery and CPAP therapy. However, CPAP therapy has proven very effective for most patients. CPAP stands for “continuous positive airway pressure” which is exactly what the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP device delivers to your upper airway, acting as an “air splint” to keep the passage open while you sleep.

This reduces or eliminates the obstruction, allowing you to enjoy the deep, refreshing, uninterrupted sleep you need. More importantly, your body will get the rest and oxygen it needs with more continuous, uninterrupted sleep – helping you avoid some of the serious health risks associated with OSA. And the IntelliPAP is designed to provide this therapy to you quietly and comfortably so that you can sleep through the night without distraction.

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust® system automatically adjusts air pressure by measuring your snoring and breathing patterns on a breath-by-breath basis, and compensating to meet your pressure needs. Your breathing patterns are continuously analyzed, stored and used to make any needed pressure adjustment.

The rate of pressure adjustment can be as high as 10 cmH2O in a 10 minute period with changes made gradually enough to prevent disturbing your sleep yet quickly enough to respond to your pressure needs. In the absence of respiratory events, the pressure is reduced to maximize your comfort. The IntelliPAP AutoAdjust is also capable of operating in CPAP mode – without the automatic functionality described above – to give your physician maximum versatility in prescribing treatment for your sleep condition.

Acclimating To Your Therapy

Naturally anything new – including CPAP therapy – takes some getting used to. Having your mouth or nose (or both) covered by a mask may make you feel anxious or claustrophobic. Feeling the rush of air from your IntelliPAP may cause discomfort or concern. But don’t worry – every successful, long-term CPAP user began where you are today with the same reactions and concerns, and overcame them to enjoy the full benefits of their therapy.

Here are some steps to help you gradually ease into your therapy and overcome your anxieties:

1.Try attaching the mask to the CPAP unit, and switching the unit “On.” Practice breathing through the mask for one hour while watching television, reading, or performing some other sitting activity.

2.If you nap, use the CPAP during this time.

3.Use CPAP at least during the first initial 3-4 hours of nighttime sleep.

4.Use CPAP through an entire night of sleep.

6 A-DV54

introduction

EN

Advance through the above steps one step at a time and progress to the next step as soon as you can carry out the current step without anxiety.

Benefits Of Your Therapy

As a DeVilbiss IntelliPAP user, you are on your way to living a happier, healthier life – a life free from the sleep disruptions and health risks associated with OSA. After you become acclimated to CPAP therapy, you may be surprised at how much better you feel, both physically and emotionally. CPAP therapy may give you the opportunity to finally experience the deep, restful sleep you’ve been missing out on. Many patients find they have more energy, better judgment, and improved concentration during the day. With effective therapy you’ll be less stressed, less irritable and more like your old self again, with a healthy, positive outlook on life. In fact, you may well wish you’d gotten your IntelliPAP sooner!

Helpful Resources

As you begin your IntelliPAP therapy, remember: you’re not in this alone! You’re part of a large and growing network of CPAP users, and many resources are available to answer your questions, address your concerns, and help make your therapy as effective and effortless as possible.

NOTE–If you are unable to change the delay time, your provider has locked this setting. Refer to the keypad menu guide on page 12 for details.

Comfort delay is available in both IntelliPAP Standard and IntelliPAP AutoAdjust models, and in all modes of operation.

Comfort Delay Feature In Standard CPAP Mode

When you use the comfort delay feature while your device is operating in CPAP mode, the airflow you receive at the beginning of your therapy is temporarily lowered to a pressure selected by your physician when the device was setup.

10 A-DV54

advanced menu controls		EN

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.

Comfort Delay Feature in AutoAdjust Mode

When you use the comfort delay feature while your IntelliPAP is operating in AutoAdjust mode, the airflow you receive at the beginning of your therapy is the lowest pressure prescribed by your physician when the device was setup.

You do not need to activate the comfort delay; it will turn on automatically. The airflow pressure will rise only to the low pressure setting and remain there for the duration of the delay period. The AutoAdjust will not adjust the pressure setting during the comfort delay period, allowing you to fall asleep without responding to early respiratory events.

Shut Down

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the device off. You may also simply remove your mask. After a few seconds the device will display the message “Mask Off. Please check mask fit.” If you do not put the mask on again the device will automatically turn off in about 20 seconds. Pressing any button will remove the message from the display.

NOTE–If the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP does not turn off automatically, the feature may have been disabled. In this case you must manually turn the device off.

patient messages

Patient MESSAGES

EN

Your IntelliPAP will alert you of issues that may require some action on your part in order to make your therapy more effective. These messages are displayed when the device is turned on, either by pressing the ON/OFF button or by breathing into the mask. You can press any key or button to clear the message from the display, but the IntelliPAP will operate normally even if the message is not cleared.

Two kinds of messages are displayed: Reminders and Notifications.

Reminders

Reminders alert you when parts of your system need to be replaced. Some components of your system wear over time and, if not replaced, may compromise your therapy. If you see a message on the display that is not listed below, you may have the optional DeVilbiss SmartLink™ Module attached to your device, which provides additional messages. Refer to the documentation that was provided with the SmartLink Module.

Clean Filter – The filter should be checked every 10 days for signs
		Clean Filter
of dirt or wear so that it can be cleaned as needed. This message
helps to remind you to check it regularly.

Notifications

Notifications identify conditions in your IntelliPAP that may require action by you or your home care provider in order to maintain a high level of therapy. If you see a message on the display that is not listed below, you may have the optional DeVilbiss SmartLink Module attached to your device, which provides additional messages. Refer to the documentation that was provided with the SmartLink Module.

NOTE-The values displayed are examples only.

Delay Running xx Minutes Left – While a comfort delay is active, this message is flashed on the display every 5 seconds to let you know how much time is left in the delay.

Mask Leak – This message means the IntelliPAP has detected a large amount of airflow during therapy for at least 10% of the time during your previous use session. This notification is displayed when

the device is turned on. If this message is displayed, put on the mask and adjust the headgear to ensure the mask is properly fitted to your face. Follow the mask manufacturer’s directions for adjusting the mask and headgear for proper fitting. Available on AutoAdjust models.

Mask Off – This message appears whenever a high airflow condition occurs. High airflow is normally due to a poor mask fit or a removed mask. Check for leak around the mask seal and make

adjustments as necessary according to the mask manufacturer’s instructions. This message will be displayed until the high airflow problem is corrected. If the high airflow condition persists for about 20 seconds, the device will automatically turn off (if AutoOFF is enabled).

IntelliPAP TRAVEL INFORMATION

International Power Changes

Your DeVilbiss IntelliPAP is equipped with a universal power supply. This means that it is automatically capable of accepting line voltages of 100 to 240V~ 50/60Hz. You do not need to make any adjustments to the device if you are traveling to another country where the line voltage is different than your domestic line voltage. Simply contact your home care provider for the correct style power cord for the region in which you will be traveling (refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part number).

Altitude

Your IntelliPAP automatically compensates for changes in altitude between sea level and 9000 ft (2750  m). You do not need to make adjustments to the device for changes in altitude.

IntelliPAP DC OPERATION

Battery Power

Your IntelliPAP can be operated from a 12V DC power source in a motor home, boat or other recreational vehicle. The power source can be used with a 12V DC accessory cable or a 12 V DC stand-alone battery. Both parts are available from your home care provider (refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part numbers). Both accessory cables are required for stand-alone battery operation. The stand-alone battery connection uses clamps that attach to the terminal connections of the battery.

NOTE–The heater for the IntelliPAP’s humidification system will not operate directly from a 12V DC power source. If you need humidification, passover humidification is still available. Alternately, instead of connecting12V DC power directly to the IntelliPAP, you can pass the DC power through an inverter that will deliver AC power to the system. This will allow the heater to function. The power rating of the inverter must be at least 200 watts @ 110V~ / 400 watts @ 220V~.

NOTE–The IntelliPAP will automatically switch power sources between AC and 12V DC if both sources are available. If your unit is connected to both AC and 12V DC power sources, it will operate on AC power as long as AC power is present, and automatically switch to 12V DC power if AC power is lost. When AC power is restored, it will return to the AC source. You do not need to reset or adjust any settings when the power source switches, but remember that your heater will not operate on 12V DC.

SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN

Supplemental oxygen is sometimes prescribed in addition to CPAP for treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If your physician prescribed oxygen for your sleep therapy, you can add the oxygen in one of two ways:

1.Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care provider and connect it to the outlet port on the IntelliPAP. Connect one end of the air supply

supplemental oxygen

tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end of the air supply tubing to the mask.

2.If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you apply oxygen directly to your mask.

WARNING-Oxygen use

Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not smoke while using this device with supplemental oxygen. Do not use this device near hot objects, volatile substances or sources of open flames.

Always turn on the IntelliPAP before turning on the oxygen source. Turn the oxygen source off before turning off the IntelliPAP.

This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or oxygen, or nitrous oxide.

At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary depending on the pressure setting, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP devices.

Never allow the oxygen source to run continuously while connected to the IntelliPAP if the device is not in use. If the IntelliPAP is not being used, turn off the oxygen flow.

CAUTION–Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.

CAUTION–The flow setting of the oxygen source must be specified by a physician.
