� WArning
The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP™ should be used only with masks recommended
by DeVilbiss, your physician or respiratory therapist.
To avoid rebreathing of exhaled air, do not use a CPAP mask unless the
device is turned on and providing a supply of air. Venting in the mask
should never be blocked. When the device is turned on and providing a
fresh supply of air, exhaled air is flushed out of the mask vent. However,
when the device is not operating, exhaled air may be rebreathed.
Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some
circumstances lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most CPAP
devices.
The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP is not a life support device and may stop
operating with certain device faults or with a power failure. It is intended
to be used on spontaneously breathing individuals weighing 66 lbs/30 Kg
or greater.
To avoid electric shock, always unplug power cord from wall outlet power
source when performing cleaning.
Use only accessories recommended by DeVilbiss.
CAUTION–The circular data port connector located on the back of the IntelliPAP is used to
attach accessories to the device. The connector must only be used with
accessories approved for use by DeVilbiss. Do not attempt to attach any other
device to this connector as it may damage the CPAP or the accessory device.
CAUTION–Never rinse or place the device in water. Never allow liquids to get into or around
any of the ports, switches or air lter; doing so will result in device damage. If this
occurs, discontinue use and remove the power cord from the power source. Allow
the device to completely dry before use.

CAUTION–Do not place the IntelliPAP where it can be bumped onto the oor or where the
power cord may create a trip hazard.
CAUTION–Only the DeVilbiss DV5 series Heated Humidier system is recommended for use
with the IntelliPAP. Other humidier systems may prevent the device from
detecting snoring and may cause inappropriate pressure levels in the mask.
CAUTION–Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the
supervision of a physician.
inTRoDUCTion
Intended Use/Indications for Use
The DeVilbiss®IntelliPAP™ Model DV5 Series is intended for use in treating obstructive
sleep apnea in patients 66 lbs/30 kg and above.
Contraindications
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 uid leak, recent cranial surgery or trauma
NOTE–
Symptoms of dryness of the throat, nasal passages, and the mouth are common with
positive airway pressure therapy. This is especially true in dry climates and during the
cold season when humidity in the air is typically lower than at other times. The
IntelliPAP features an optional humidier system to help minimize these effects.
What Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder that affects more than 22 million
Americans – approximately 4% of middle-aged men and 2% of middle-aged women.
Physiological factors such as size of tonsils, shape of the nose, narrowing of the upper airway,
or any combination of these can contribute to the potential for having OSA. During sleep,
your airway can relax so much that it begins to collapse and becomes obstructed. Relaxation
allows the tissue at the back of your throat to vibrate as you breathe causing snoring. But as
your airway collapses more fully, it blocks your airow and stops your breathing altogether.
(In fact, the word “apnea” is derived from a Greek term meaning “without breath.”)

6A-DV56
EN introDuction
This stoppage occurs repeatedly throughout the night, each episode lasting from just a few
seconds to more than a minute. As your blood oxygen level drops to dangerous levels, your
central nervous system triggers a sudden gasp for breath, partially awakening you and
preventing you from experiencing the sustained, deep sleep your body needs. As a result, it
is common to feel fatigued, stressed and irritable the following day – a less-than-optimal and
potentially dangerous condition in which to work, drive, and make decisions.
There are important medical concerns as well. OSA starves your heart, brain, and organs of
life-sustaining oxygen. Over time, this deprivation can seriously impact your health
potentially resulting in memory loss, impotence, hypertension, coronary disease, strokes,
and heart attacks. Recent studies indicate that OSA has the same risk factor for heart
disease as smoking, high cholesterol and alcohol, and estimate that as many as 38,000
people a year die from the effects of OSA.
Clearly, OSA is a serious medical condition that requires attention and treatment.
How CPAP Therapy Works
There are several treatments for OSA including surgery and CPAP therapy. However, CPAP
therapy has proven very effective for most patients. CPAP stands for “continuous positive
airway pressure” which is exactly what the DeVilbiss IntelliPAP device delivers to your
upper airway, acting as an “air splint” to keep the passage open while you sleep.
This reduces or eliminates the obstruction, allowing you to enjoy the deep, refreshing,
uninterrupted sleep you need. More importantly, your body will get the rest and oxygen it
needs with more continuous, uninterrupted sleep – helping you avoid some of the serious
health risks associated with OSA. And the IntelliPAP is designed to provide this therapy to
you quietly and comfortably so that you can sleep through the night without distraction.

The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP Bilevel®system automatically switches between a higher pressure
(IPAP) and lower pressure (EPAP), prescribed by your doctor. The pressure changes follow
your breathing providing the higher pressure when you inhale and the lower pressure when
you exhale. Independent triggering and cycling sensitivity adjustments are provided to
ensure proper response to your specific breathing needs.
Acclimating To Your Therapy
Naturally anything new – including CPAP therapy – takes some getting used to. Having your
mouth or nose (or both) covered by a mask may make you feel anxious or claustrophobic.
Feeling the rush of air from your IntelliPAP may cause discomfort or concern. But don’t
worry – every successful, long-term CPAP user began where you are today with the same
reactions and concerns, and overcame them to enjoy the full benefits of their therapy.
Here are some steps to help you gradually ease into your therapy and overcome your
anxieties:
1. Try attaching the mask to the CPAP unit, and switching the unit “On.” Practice
breathing through the mask for one hour while watching television, reading, or
performing some other sitting activity.
2. If you nap, use the CPAP during this time.
3. Use CPAP at least during the first initial 3-4 hours of nighttime sleep.
4. Use CPAP through an entire night of sleep.
Advance through the above steps one step at a time and progress to the next step as soon
as you can carry out the current step without anxiety.
Benefits Of Your Therapy
As a DeVilbiss IntelliPAP user, you are on your way to living a happier, healthier life – a life
free from the sleep disruptions and health risks associated with OSA. After you become
acclimated to CPAP therapy, you may be surprised at how much better you feel, both
physically and emotionally. CPAP therapy may give you the opportunity to finally experience
the deep, restful sleep you’ve been missing out on. Many patients find they have more
energy, better judgment, and improved concentration during the day. With effective therapy
you’ll be less stressed, less irritable and more like your old self again, with a healthy, positive
outlook on life. In fact, you may well wish you’d gotten your IntelliPAP sooner!

Your IntelliPAP will alert you of issues that may require some action on your part in order
to make your therapy more effective. These messages are displayed when the device is
turned on, either by pressing the ON/OFF button or by breathing into the mask. You can
press any key or button to clear the message from the display, but the IntelliPAP will
operate normally even if the message is not cleared.
Two kinds of messages are displayed: Reminders and Notifications.
Reminders
Reminders alert you when parts of your system need to be replaced. Some components of
your system wear over time and, if not replaced, may compromise your therapy. If you see
a message on the display that is not listed below, you may have the optional DeVilbiss
SmartLink™ Module attached to your device, which provides additional messages. Refer to
the documentation that was provided with the SmartLink Module.
Clean Filter – The filter should be checked every 10 days for signs
of dirt or wear so that it can be cleaned as needed. This message
helps to remind you to check it regularly.
Notifications
Notifications identify conditions in your IntelliPAP that may require action by you or your
home care provider in order to maintain a high level of therapy. If you see a message on the
display that is not listed below, you may have the optional DeVilbiss SmartLink Module
attached to your device, which provides additional messages. Refer to the documentation
that was provided with the SmartLink Module.
NOTE-The values displayed are examples only.
Delay Running xx Minutes Left – While a comfort delay session
is active, this message is ashed on the display every 5 seconds to
let you know how much time is left in the delay.
Mask Leak – This message means the IntelliPAP has detected a
large amount of airow during therapy for at least 10% of the time
during your previous use session. This notification is displayed when
the device is turned on. If this message is displayed, put on the mask and adjust the
headgear to ensure the mask is properly fitted to your face. Follow the mask manufacturer’s
directions for adjusting the mask and headgear for proper fitting. Available on Bilevel
models.
Mask Off – This message appears whenever a high airow
condition occurs. High airow is normally due to a poor mask t or
Mask Off. Please
check mask fit.

a removed mask. Check for leak around the mask seal and make adjustments as necessary
according to the mask manufacturer’s instructions. This message will be displayed until the
high airow problem is corrected. If the high airow condition persists for at least 30
seconds, the device will automatically turn off (if Auto-OFF is enabled).
Device Fault – If a device fault message is displayed, refer to
Troubleshooting for instructions.

International Power Changes
Your DeVilbiss IntelliPAP is equipped with a universal power supply. This means that it is
automatically capable of accepting line voltages of 100 to 240V~ 50/60Hz. You do not need
to make any adjustments to the device if you are traveling to another country where the
line voltage is different than your domestic line voltage. Simply contact your home care
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).
Altitude
Your IntelliPAP automatically compensates for changes in altitude between sea level and
8500 ft (2600 m). You do not need to make adjustments to the device for changes in
altitude.
inTelliPaP DC oPeRaTion
Battery Power
Your IntelliPAP can be operated from a 12V DC power source in a motor home, boat or
other recreational vehicle. The power source can be used with a 12V DC accessory cable
or a 12 V DC stand-alone battery. Both parts are available from your home care provider
(refer to Accessories/Replacement Items for the correct part numbers). Both accessory
cables are required for stand-alone battery operation. The stand-alone battery connection
uses clamps that attach to the terminal connections of the battery. A battery rated for 20
Amp Hours will power the CPAP at 14 cmH2O for 2 nights.
NOTE– The heater for the IntelliPAP’s humidication system will not operate directly from a
12V DC power source. If you need humidication, passover humidication 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
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:
1. Obtain the optional oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) from your home care
provider and connect it to the outlet 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.
2. If your mask is equipped with an oxygen port, your physician may request that you
apply oxygen directly to your mask.
� 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 the
oxygen source off before turning off the IntelliPAP.
This device is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air or oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
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 prescription gas and should only be administered under the
supervision of a physician.
CAUTION–The ow setting of the oxygen source must be specied by a physician.
