Thank you for choosing the VPAP Adaptor H5i.
Before operating these devices, please read the entire Clinical and Information Guides.
CAUTION
In the US, Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
VPAP Adapt indications for use
The S9 VPAP Adapt is indicated for the treatment of patients weighing more than 66 lb (30 kg) with
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central and/or mixed apneas, or periodic breathing. The S9 VPAP Adaptis
intended for home and hospital use.
VPAP Adapt contraindications
ASV therapy is contraindicated in patients with chronic, symptomatic heart failure (NYHA 2-4) with
reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 45%) and moderate to severe predominant central sleep
apnea.
Positive airway pressure therapy may be contraindicated in some patients with the following pre-existing
conditions:
•severe bullous lung disease
•pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
•pathologically low blood pressure, particularly if associated with intravascular volume depletion
•dehydration
•cerebrospinal fluid leak, recent cranial surgery, or trauma.
VPAP Adapt adverse effects
Patients should report unusual chest pain, severe headache, or increased breathlessness to their
prescribing physician. An acute upper respiratory tract infection may require temporar y discontinuation of
treatment.
The following side effects may arise during the course of therapy with these devices:
•drying of the nose, mouth, or throat
•nosebleed
•bloating
•ear or sinus discomfort
•eye irritation
•skin rashes.
H5i indications for use
The H5i is indicated for the humidification of the air delivered from a CPAP or bilevel device. The H5i is
for use only as recommended by a physician. The H5i is intended for single patient re-use in the home
environment and re-use in a hospital/institutional environment.
H5i contraindications
The H5i is contraindicated for use with patients whose upper (supraglottic) air way has been bypassed.

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)
60ºF (16ºC)10 mg/L
68ºF (20ºC)12 mg/L
75ºF (24ºC)16 mg/L

86ºF (30ºC)22 mg/L

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.

S9 Essentials
S9 Essentials is designed to make device interaction and menu navigation easier for patients. If enabled,
S9 Essentials disables the Info and Setup functionality so that patients can simply start and stop therapy
and adjust ramp, humidification and Climate Control. S9 Essentials can be enabled via Clinical Setup >
Options > Access.
Sleep quality
Designed to promote compliance, the Sleep Quality indicator allows the patient to actively engage in
their own therapy by identifying leak, usage and AHI information. This information can be set to:
•Usage—where only usage hours are displayed
•On—where usage, leak and AHI information are displayed.

Setup
1. Align your H5i with your VPAP Adapt and push them together until they click into place.
2. Connect the DC plug of the power supply unit to the rear of the VPAP Adapt.
3. Connect the power cord to the power supply unit.
4. Plug the other end of the power cord into the power outlet.
5. Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet.
6. Connect the assembled mask system to the free end of air tubing.
Notes:
•Always ensure that your VPAP Adapt and H5i are placed on a stable, level surface for proper
operation.
•Place the power supply unit away from the H5i to allow for adequate ventilation.

Mask and tubing setup
•For more information on assembling the mask see the mask user guide.
•If your patient is using a full face mask ensure that the “Full Face” setting is selected. If your patient
is using a nasal pillows mask ensure that the “Pillows” setting is selected. If your patient is using a
nasal mask ensure that the “Nasal” setting is selected with the exception of the Ultra Mirage mask
which should use the “Nasal Ultra” setting.
•For a complete list of recommended masks and their settings go to www.resmed.com on the
Products page under Service & Support. If you do not have internet access, please contact your
ResMed representative.
