Press the LEFT arrow key again to display the Adherence Score.The Quick View Menu shows a summary of information that is reported in the SmartCode data. Information in the Quick View includes: Number of days used more than 4 hours (or can be set to 5 hours by a clinician), AHI (Apnea/Hypopnea Index), High Leak percent (percent of time at leak >95 L/m), and Daily Usage (average hours per day used). Each parameter can be viewed in any of four-time periods, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days and 90 days.Compliance information can be viewed without turning the CPAP on. With the blower OFF (display shows OFF), press the left or right arrow keys on the keypad to scroll through the information.Generating Compliance Reports for Employer/Insurer/Physician SmartCode reports satisfy most requirements for ongoing compliance/adherence information, and the software retains 1,023 days (2.8 years) of data. We recommend you work with your provider to establish a routine for clearing SmartCode data to ensure current usage information is available. The compliance meter should be cleared only after the required report is generated, submitted, and approved by the requestor. Once cleared, a new cycle of 2.8 years begins and the only source for the previous data will be the hard-copy reports.NOTE-Only the provider has access to clear the meter.Using the smartFlex FeatureYour IntelliPAP has a SmartFlex pressure relief feature to help make it easier for exhale against your prescribed pressure by lowering the pressure slightly when you exhale. The pressure returns to your prescribed pressure during inhale to maintain your therapy.The SmartFlex menu is available in all modes and is a sub-menu that allows you to control various functions of your IntelliPAP. It is accessed by pressing the down button while “SmartFlex Menu” is shown on the Display.SmartFlex pressure relief includes three settings for exhale relief; 1, 2, and 3. (1 is the least amount of relief, 3 is the most amount of relief). Setting SmartFlex pressure relief to OFF turns the SmartFlex feature OFF.The pressure waveform can also be adjusted independently for inhale and exhale to smooth the transition when SmartFlex pressure relief is active. The pressure waveform settings are SmartFlex-i (IRnd) and SmartFlex-e (ERnd) with settings from 0 to 5 in steps of 1 (0 is the least amount of smoothing, 5 is the most amount of smoothing).SmartFlex pressure relief can be operated Full Time or during the Delay Only. The display will show “FLX” in the top row of the default screen (between CPAP pressure and Mode) while SmartFlex pressure relief is operating.When SmartFlex pressure relief is turned on Full Time, the pressure relief operates at all times when you are breathing on the device. When SmartFlex pressure relief is set to Delay Only, the pressure relief operates only during the Comfort Delay period and turns off after the delay period is finished.The device contains a SmartFlex disengagement feature. If a patient is experiencing a respiratory event while the CPAP is in the relief pressure mode, after a limited time the CPAP will shift to the prescription pressure and remain at this pressure until normal breathing resumes.Using the comfort Delay Feature Your IntelliPAP has a comfort delay feature to help make it easier for you to fall asleep. The airflow will start at low pressure and then gradually ramp up to the prescribed setting over the last few minutes of the specified delay time.
NOTE–When the delay comfort feature is activated, a message will flash on the display periodically, indicating the amount of time remaining in the delay.You can adjust the amount of time spent in comfort delay by using the advanced device controls. The Delay Time can be adjusted from 0 to 45 minutes in 5-minute increments.NOTE–If you are unable to change the delay time, your provider has locked this setting.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.NOTE-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 DownPress the ON/OFF button to turn the device off.

INTELLIPAP TRAVAL INFORMATION
International Power ChangesYour IntelliPAP is approved for sale and use in North America and is equipped with a universal power supply that is automatically capable of accepting line voltages of 100 to 240V~ 50/60Hz. Simply contact your equipment 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) to adapt your unit to the country’s power.AltitudeYour 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 powerYour IntelliPAP can be operated from a 12V DC power source in a motor home, boat or other recreational vehicle using the 12V DC cable. Alternatively, you can power your IntelliPAP using a 12V DC stand-alone battery with a DC battery clamp on the adapter and 12V DC cable. All cables are available from your equipment provider (refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part numbers). 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, non-heated 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
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 off the oxygen source before turning off the IntelliPAP.
- This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture.
- 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 prescribed gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.
- The flow setting of the oxygen source must be specified by a physician.
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:
- Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care provider and connect it to the air supply port on the IntelliPAP. Connect one end of the air supply tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end of the air supply tubing to the mask.
- If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you apply oxygen directly to your mask.
