Welcome!
Congratulations on choosing the ultra-small, lightweight Z2 Auto machine!
Your new Z2 has been programmed with your prescribed setting and is almost
ready for use. Please read the instructions below before using the Z2.
NOTE: The Auto Start / Stop Feature will stop the therapy if a large
air leak is detected between the Z2 outlet and the mask. This may
also happen at times when the mask is not being worn properly.
This common condition should be resolved once all connections
are secure, the mask is properly worn, and the Start/Stop Button has
been pushed or you start to breathe through the mask.
8Accessories- Qtube® and HME
Your Z2 comes with two accessories – the Qtube muffler and the HME
(Heat Moisture Exchanger).
The Qtube is a reusable accessory designed to reduce acoustic noise
transmitted to the mask through the CPAP tube. See illustration below for
where to install it.
The HME (Heat Moisture Exchanger) works to provide humidification
by capturing the moisture as you exhale and provide it back to you as
you breathe. The HME is installed as close to the mask as possible. See
illustration below.
The HME should be discarded after seven days of consecutive use or
when it fails to provide adequate humidification.
