INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
Intended Use
The Broadband / Oximetry Accessory is an accessory to select Respironics ow generators which allows
recorded data to either be transmitted over a broadband internet connection or stored on an internal SD
card for later download.
Overview
The Broadband / Oximetry Accessory supports two functions:
1. Broadband - When wirelessly connected to the Broadband Wireless Router or connected to
an Ethernet cable with the available Ethernet adapter, this Broadband / Oximetry Accessory can
transmit data to EncoreAnywhere using the patient’s existing home broadband connection. See the
Setup for Broadband Use section for more information.
2. Oximetry - When connected to the appropriate oximeter and sensor, this Broadband / Oximetry
Accessory can record patient oxygen saturation and heart rate data, which can be uploaded

Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if the device is dropped
or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, discontinue
use and contact Respironics for assistance.
• Repairs and adjustments must be performed by Respironics-authorized service personnel only.
Unauthorized service could cause injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly damage.
• To reduce the risk of bodily injury and damage to the equipment, retain and follow all product
safety and operating instructions.
• If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to
determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
• When attaching the oximeter sensor, be careful to route the wires in a manner that will reduce
the possibility of strangulation, discomfort, or the sensors becoming detached.
• Use only the Masimo High Performance / Low Power Module and Masimo LNCS Series pulse
oximeter sensors. The sensors are manufactured to meet the accuracy specications for the
Masimo High Performance / Low Power Module. Using other manufacturers’ sensors can result
in inaccurate pulse oximeter performance.

Cautions
• Remove power from the therapy device by unplugging the power supply cord’s connector from
the power inlet on the back of the device before proceeding with the installation instructions.
• If the device has been exposed to either very hot or very cold temperatures, allow it to adjust
to room temperature before beginning the installation procedure.
• Pins of connectors should not be touched. Connections should not be made to these
connectors unless ESD precautionary procedures are used. Precautionary procedures include
methods to prevent build-up of electrostatic charge (e.g., air conditioning, humidication,
conductive oor coverings, non-synthetic clothing), discharging one’s body to the frame of the
equipment or system or to earth or a large metal object, and bonding oneself by means of a
wrist strap to the equipment or system or to earth.
• Ensure that the SD card cover on the therapy device is replaced whenever an accessory is not
installed.
Important! From time to time, electronic devices can be affected by irregularities in the electrical
power supplies and other electrical equipment. To prevent electrical interference that
could affect the performance of your medical equipment, always keep accessories (power
supplies, battery packs, etc.) and other electrical devices (telephones, radios, etc.) away
from your therapy device when used with this accessory.
