• Max pressure - This screen displays the current Maximum pressure setting. You can adjust the setting from 4 to 25 cm
H2O in 0.5 increments.
• EPAP min - This screen allows you to modify the Minimum EPAP setting. The setting specied here will be the minimum
level of pressure applied during the expiratory breath phase. You may adjust the setting from 4 cm H2O to the Maximum
pressure setting.
• EPAP max - This screen allows you to modify the Maximum EPAP setting. The setting you specify here will be the
maximum level of pressure applied during the expiratory breath phase. You may adjust the setting from the Minimum
EPAP setting to the Maximum pressure setting.
• PS min - This screen allows you to modify the Minimum Pressure Support setting. This setting is the minimum difference
that is permitted between IPAP and EPAP. You may adjust the setting from 0 cm H2O to the difference between the
maximum pressure setting minus the maximum EPAP setting.
• PS max - This screen allows you to modify the Maximum Pressure Support setting. The maximum pressure support is the
maximum difference that is permitted between IPAP and EPAP. You may adjust the setting from PS min to the difference
between the maximum pressure setting minus the minimum EPAP setting.
• BPM - This screen allows you to modify the Breaths Per Minute setting. You can choose between Off, Auto, or 4 through
30 in 1 BPM increments.
Note: This setting only displays if PS max is greater than zero.
• Ti - This screen allows you to modify the Inspiratory Time setting. You may adjust the setting from 0.5 to 3.0 seconds in
0.1 increments. This setting only displays if PS max is greater than zero and BPM is not set to Off or Auto.
• Flex type - This screen displays the comfort mode setting. You can select None or Bi-Flex.
• Bi-Flex - You can modify the Flex setting (1, 2 or 3) on this screen if you enabled Bi-Flex. The Bi-Flex comfort feature
allows you to adjust the level of air pressure relief that the patient feels when exhaling during therapy. The setting of “1”
provides a small amount of pressure relief, with higher numbers providing additional relief.
• Rise time - Rise time is the time it takes for the device to change from the expiratory pressure setting to the inspiratory
pressure setting. This screen allows you to adjust the rise time so you can nd the desired setting. A setting of “0” is the fastest
rise time, while “3” is the slowest. This is only available if Flex type is set to None and PS max is greater than zero.
• Ramp time - This enables you to modify the Ramp time setting in 5 minute increments. The range for this setting is 0 (off)
to 45 minutes.
Note: This setting only displays if EPAP min is greater than 4 cm H2O.
• Ramp start - You can increase or decrease the ramp starting pressure in 0.5 cm H2O increments. You may adjust the
setting from 4 cm H2O to the EPAP min setting.
Note: This setting only displays if Ramp time is not zero and EPAP min is greater than 4 cm H2O.
• Tubing type lock - This enables you to lock the Tubing type setting if you do not want the patient to change it.
Note: If you lock this setting, the device defaults to a setting of 22, and the patient will not see the Tubing type setting.
• Tubing type - This setting allows you to select the correct size diameter tubing that you are using with the device. You
can choose either (22) for the Respironics 22 mm tubing, or (15) for the optional Respironics 15 mm tubing.
• SYSTEM ONE resistance ( ) - This setting allows you to adjust the level of air pressure relief based on the specic
Respironics mask. Each Respironics mask may have a “System One” resistance control setting. System One resistance
compensation can be turned off by choosing the setting “0”.
Note: The patient also has access to this setting, if Lock SYSTEM ONE is off.
• Lock SYSTEM ONE - This enables you to lock the “System One” resistance control setting if you do not want the
patient to change it.
Note: If you lock this setting, the patient will see a “lock” icon next to the setting.
• SYSTEM ONE humidication - System One humidity control maintains a consistent mask humidity by monitoring and
adjusting for changes in room temperature and room humidity. You can enable or disable this feature. If the System One
humidity control has been disabled, the classic style of basic temperature controlled heated humidication will be used.
This will only display if the humidier is attached.

• Humidier - This setting allows you to choose the desired humidity setting: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. If the System One humidity
control has been disabled, the classic style of basic temperature controlled heated humidication will be used and the
display will show: 0, C1, C2, C3, C4 or C5 for these settings. This will only display if the humidier is attached. Please refer
to the humidier manual if using a humidier.
• Auto on - You can enable or disable this feature if you want the device to automatically turn the airow on whenever the
patient applies the interface (mask) to their airway.
• Patient disconnect alarm - You can enable this feature by choosing 15 or 60 seconds. The alarm will sound when a
large, continuous air leak is detected in the circuit for longer than the specied setting. You can disable this feature by
choosing “0”.
• Apnea alarm - This feature detects the cessation of spontaneous breathing. You can enable or disable the alarm by
choosing 0 (off), 10, 20, 30, or 40 seconds. The alarm will sound when the time between patient-triggered breaths is
greater or equal to the specied setting.
• Low min vent alarm - You can enable or disable this feature by choosing 0 (off) to 99 LPM (liters per minute) in 1 LPM
increments. The alarm will sound when the calculated minute ventilation is less than or equal to the specied setting.
• Show AHI/leak/PB - You can select whether or not the Apnea/Hypopnea index, System Leak averages, and Periodic
Breathing averages are displayed on the Patient Info screens.
• Language - This feature allows you to choose which language to display on the interface. You can choose English (EN) or
Spanish (ES).
• Humidier LED Backlight/Ramp Backlight - You can enable or disable the LED backlight for the humidier number
settings and Ramp button on the device.
Note: If the humidier is not attached, this feature will display as “Ramp Backlight” and control the LED backlight for the
Ramp button only.
Note: If the Humidier LED Backlight is enabled or disabled, the humidier icon will always remains on (if humidier is
attached and heat is being applied), but will dim after 30 seconds of inactivity.
• Setup parameter displayed - You can select which measured parameters will display on the Monitor Pressure screen.
You can choose from None, Leak, RR, MinVent, or Vte. The following table describes each measured parameter. The
