ResLink™  
The ResLink is a device that records data onto a SmartMedia™ card during your  
therapy. The card can be returned to your clinician so that they can observe your  
progress and adjust flow generator parameters if necessary. The ResLink  
connects to the back of VPAP Adapt SV as shown. For full details on using the  
ResLink, please refer to the ResLink User’s Manual.  
Anti-bacterial Filter  
Your clinician may recommend that you use an anti-bacterial filter. A filter should  
be placed in the air tubing between the mask and the flow generator. If using a  
humidifier, place the filter between it and the flow generator (see Figure 10  
below).  
Typically, the filter should be replaced daily. Check the filter instructions for full  
details.  
Whenever a filter is added, removed or replaced you must run the Air Circuit  
Learn function (see “Learn Circuit” on page 21).  
Note: Only hydrophobic anti-bacterial filters should be used with a  
HumidAire 2i.

Using DC Power to Run the VPAP Adapt SV  
The VPAP Adapt SV can be run on DC in case of power failure. ResMed supplies  
separately a converter that allows a 12V or 24V battery to be connected to the  
DC input of the VPAP Adapt SV. When using a DC power supply, the power is  
turned on and off via the switch on the converter, and not the power switch at  
the back of the VPAP Adapt SV. The DC converter is a separate accessory that  
can be purchased through your ResMed distributor.  
The humidifier heater will be automatically disabled when the VPAP Adapt SV is  
operating from the DC supply.  
Power consumption of the VPAP Adapt SV varies with treatment settings.  
Adequate battery type and sizing is required before operation on DC, and it is  
recommended that you contact ResMed’s Technical Services division or see  
ResMed's website for information on your specific application.  
CAUTION  
!
The VPAP Adapt SV uses 30V DC power. Only connect the VPAP Adapt SV  
to DC power using the VPAP Adapt SV DC Converter (P/N 26928) specified  
for this application.  
Supplemental Oxygen  
The VPAP Adapt SV is designed to be compatible with the use of low flow  
oxygen therapy provided from an external source and supplied at a fixed rate of  
up to 15 L/min. At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled  
oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient  
breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning applies to most  
types of bilevel machines.  
WARNING  
!
If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off  
when the device is not operating.  
Explanation: When the device is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is  
left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate  
within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.  
Always begin VPAP Adapt SV therapy before the oxygen supply is  
turned on.  
Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping VPAP Adapt SV  
therapy.  
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while  
smoking or in the presence of an open flame.

Alarms  
The VPAP Adapt SV unit is fitted with alarms to alert you to changes that will  
affect your treatment. The most common reason for an alarm to sound is  
because the system has not been properly assembled. Check that the air tubing  
and pressure sensor tube have been properly attached to the flow generator and  
mask (and humidifier if used).  
You can mute an alarm by pressing the Alarm Mute key once. Unless the alarm  
requires you to turn the power off, you can press any key again to remove the  
alarm message from the LCD screen and to access all menus. If the problem is  
still present, the alarm will sound and display again after one minute. The Alarm  
LED will remain lit for as long as the problem is present.  
We recommend that you test the audible alarm once a week. To do this, hold  
down the Mute key while the VPAP Adapt is starting up. If the alarm is  
functioning correctly it will beep twice.
