Preparing the therapy device
The therapy device has to be connected to the electrical power supply.
The breathing tube and mask have to be connected to the device.
Connecting the therapy device to the power supply
a. Plug the power cable into the connection to power supply
on the rear of the device. Make sure that the plug is inserted
correctly!
b. Now plug the other end of the power cable into the
electrical outlet.
Connecting the breathing tube and mask
a. Attach the breathing tube to the outlet port of your device
as shown in the photo.
b. Now connect the breathing tube to the mask, e.g., our
comfortable CARA mask, which fits nearly every patient.
If you want to separate the therapy device from the power supply, press the clip on the plug and pull
out the plug. Do not pull the power cable.

Making therapy device settings
Your therapy device has to be configured before you can use it. The authorized dealer often makes the configuration settings for you.
If that is not the case, you can easily do it yourself.
Making device settings with SD card
With the help of an SD card prepared by your dealer, making the settings is child’s play. You need only insert the SD card in the
therapy device and you‘re finished! The settings will be transferred to your device automatically. Please note that your therapy device
has to remain connected to the power supply during this procedure.
Do not disconnect the device from the power supply
while the configuration process is running.

Inserting the SD card
a. Open the cover of the SD card slot.
b. Slide the SD card into the card slot until you hear it
click into place.
Please note:
The beveled corner of the SD card
has to be at the top and facing the
device when you slide it into the slot.
After the device has been switched
on, the symbol appears in the
status line of the screen.
Using the SD card
The SD card is included in your device‘s scope of supply. The device saves the settings automatically as soon as the SD card is inserted.
You also can save your therapy data on the SD card and easily make them available to your physician or authorized dealer.
With the SD card and the patient software prisma JOURNAL you can create your own therapy diary.
For more information, go to my.prismajournal.com.
Removing the SD card
Prerequisite: The symbol is no longer flashing.
a. Open the cover of the SD card slot.
b. Briefly press the SD card.
The SD card is ejected slightly.
c. Remove the SD card.
d. Put your name and date of birth on the SD card to prevent
any mix-ups when it gets to your physician or dealer.
e. Send the SD card via standard post.
The device saves the therapy data automatically when an
SD card is inserted.
For instructions on saving data for a specific period, please see
the section ”Using the SD card“ in the instructions for use.
