Operating information
This VPAP Adapt device uses internal pressure and flow sensors in the air path to respond reliably to
patient flow rates even in the presence of most normal leaks in the patient circuit.
Modes of operation
The following table describes the operating modes available on the VPAP Adapt.
ModeVPAP Adapt
CPAP mode
Treats obstructive sleep apnea where a fixed pressure not greater than
20 cm H
treatment session.
O is set. Therapy is delivered at this pressure for the duration of the
2
ASV mode
Treats central sleep apnea and/or mixed apneas and periodic breathing by
automatically adjusting the pressure support (PS). In ASV mode, the expiratory
positive airway pressure (EPAP) is adjusted by the clinician to maintain upper
airway patency, while Min PS and Max PS restricts the range of automatically
adjusted pressure support.
Leak Management – Vsync
Vsync monitors and compensates for leak by continuously and automatically adjusting the baseline flow.
This enables reliable triggering and cycling while maintaining the set pressures.
EPAP and Pressure Support
(ASV mode) EPAP can be adjusted to maintain upper air way patency.
Pressure Support (PS) is defined as the difference between the peak pressure at the end of inspiration,
and the minimum pressure at the end of expiration (ie, the amplitude of the pressure waveform
delivered).
The pressure support trigger points (Inspiration:Expiration and Expiration:Inspiration) are set automatically
based on measurement of the patient respiratory flow. ASV mode automatically adjusts pressure support
between Max PS and Min PS to keep the patient’s respiratory flow even.
ResMed recommends maximum pressure support to be greater than or equal to 10 cm.

VPAP Adapt features
Climate Control
VPAP Adapt devices, when used in conjunction with the H5i and ClimateLine/ClimateLine
tubing, offer a feature called Climate Control.
Climate Control enables the automatic delivery of a constant value of absolute humidity to the patient’s
upper airway while protecting against rainout and allowing patients to select the air temperature that
offers the most comfort for them.
Rainout protection
Rainout refers to the water or condensation that collects in the patient’s tubing or mask. Rainout is a
common side effect of using a humidifier due to the humidified air cooling as it travels down the tubing
and into the mask. Rainout occurs when relative humidity, which is a measure of the air’s capacity to hold
water vapour, exceeds 100%.
Climate Control protects the patient from rainout by maintaining a target relative humidity of 80% as well
as maintaining the temperature of the air delivered to the patient without compromising the amount of
absolute humidity delivered.
Automatic constant humidity delivery
For each temperature setting, the Climate Control system delivers a constant amount of water vapour, or
absolute humidity, to the patient’s upper airway. The following table shows the target absolute humidity
value that will be delivered to the mask for a selection of temperature settings.
Temperature delivered to the mask Target absolute humidity at the mask,
Body Temperature Pressure Saturated (BTPS)

86ºF (30ºC)22 mg/L
MAX
heated air
Automatic constant temperature delivery
MAX
The temperature sensor located at the mask end of the ClimateLine/ClimateLine
heated air tube
enables the system to automatically control the temperature of the air delivered to the patient. This
ensures the temperature of the air delivered to the patient does not fall below the set minimum
temperature, therefore maximizing breathing comfort for the patient.
Automatic adjustment
MAX
The H5i and ClimateLine/ClimateLine
heated tubing are controlled by the Climate Control algorithm to
deliver constant humidity and temperature outputs. The system adjusts automatically to changes in:
•ambient room temperature and humidity values
•flow due to pressure changes
•flow due to mask or mouth leak.

Delivering therapy
Before initiating treatment with a VPAP Adapt, it is recommended that blood pressure is measured in all
heart failure patients. In rare cases, blood pressure may fall on initiating positive air pressure treatment.
Check the patient’s blood pressure before, during and after 10 minutes of therapy.
1. Make sure the power is connected.

Warnings and cautions
WARNINGS
•Read the entire manual before using the device.
•Before putting patients on ASV, each patient should be assessed for heart failure. In case of signs and
symptoms of heart failure an objective assessment of LVEF should be performed.
•Use the device only as directed by your physician or healthcare provider.
•Use the device only for the intended use as described in this manual. Advice contained in this manual
should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician.
•If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the device, if it is making unusual or
harsh sounds, if the device or the power supply are dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the
enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, discontinue use and contact your ResMed Service Center.
•Beware of electrocution. Do not immerse the device, humidifier, power supply or power cord in
water. In the event of a spill, disconnect the device from the power supply and let the parts dry.
Always unplug the device before cleaning and make sure that all parts are dry before plugging in the
device.
•Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.
•Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.
•Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
•The device should only be used with masks (and connectors
physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once
the mask is fitted, ensure that the device is blowing air. The vent hole or holes associated with the
mask should never be blocked.
Explanation: The device is intended to be used with special masks (or connectors) which have vent
holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning
properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. However,
when the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through the mask, and the
exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in
some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most models of CPAP or bilevel devices.
•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an
open flame.
•Always ensure that the device is turned on and airflow generated before the oxygen supply is turned
on. Always turn the oxygen supply off before the device is turned off, so that unused oxygen does not
accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.
•Do not operate the H5i if it is not working properly or if any part of the device or H5i has been
dropped or damaged.
•Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of the patient’s bed. It could twist around the
patient’s head or neck while they are sleeping.
•Do not use electrically conductive or antistatic air tubings.
•Do not use the air tubing if there are any visible signs of damage.
•Only ResMed air tubing and accessories should be used with the device. A different type of air tubing
or accessory may alter the pressure you actually receive, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
•Only use the ResMed 90W or 30W power supply unit. Use the 90W power supply unit to power the
system comprising the device, H5i, air tubing, DC/DC converter and battery pack. The 30W power
supply unit is designed to power the device only and recommended for traveling.
•Only ResMed products are designed to be connected to the module connector port. Connecting
other devices could damage the device.
•Blocking the air tubing and/or air inlet of the device while in operation could lead to overheating of the
device.

should only be performed by an authorised ResMed service agent.
•Do not overfill the water tub as water may enter the device and air tubing.
•Do not use any additives (eg, scented oils and perfumes). These may reduce the humidification
output of the H5i and/or cause deterioration of the water tub materials.
•Take care when handling the H5i as the water/water tub may be hot. Allow 10 minutes for the heater
plate and any excess water to cool.
•The H5i should only be connected or disconnected when the water tub is empty.
•Make sure that the water tub is empty before transporting the H5i.
•Do not operate the H5i on an aircraft as water may enter the device and air tubing during turbulence.
•Always place the H5i on a level surface below the level of the user to prevent the mask and tubing
