INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
DEFINITIONS
This manual contains special terms that appear in the text to draw your attention to
specific and important information.
!
WARNING
Alerts you to possible injury.
!
CAUTION
Explains special measures for the safe and effective use of the device.
Note: Is an informative or helpful note.
USER/OWNER RESPONSIBILITY
The user or owner of this system shall have sole responsibility and liability for any injury
to persons or damage to property resulting from:
•operation which is not in accordance with the operating instructions supplied
•maintenance or modifications carried out unless in accordance with authorized
instructions and by authorized persons.
Please read this manual carefully before use.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
WHAT ARESMED S7™ LIGHTWEIGHT UNIT ISFOR
The RESMED S7™ LIGHTWEIGHT system is intended for the treatment of adult patients
with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
!
CAUTION
In the USA, federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
TELL YOUR DOCTOR IF...
You must tell your doctor, and CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy
must not be used, if you have any of the following conditions:
•pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum (air in the pleural cavity or mediastinum)
•severe heart failure, low blood pressure, or dehydration
•surgery to the brain, middle or inner ear, pituitary gland, or sinuses
•respiratory distress syndrome
•middle ear infection or perforated ear drum
•severe nosebleed.
308167r1.book Page 1 Friday, May 7, 2004 1:40 PM

WARNINGS
CPAP therapy should be used with caution if you have any of the following conditions:
•respiratory failure
•cavities or cysts in the lung (called bullae, and usually due to emphysema), or
previous history of pneumothorax
•previous history of severe nosebleed
•sinus infection.
Tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions. Your doctor will advise you
whether the likely benefits of CPAP therapy outweigh the expected risks.
Special care should be exercised if you are dehydrated, or may become dehydrated,
for example as a result of fluid restriction or diuretic therapy (including changes in
therapy).
Discontinue therapy and seek medical advice if, during therapy or when you start
therapy each night, you feel faint or light-headed.
The following are general warnings that pertain to your use of a RESMED S7
LIGHTWEIGHT unit. Specific warnings appear next to the relevant instructions in the
manual.
•This is NOT a life support device. It may stop operating with power failure
or if a fault occurs in the unit.
•The air flow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11oF (6oC)
higher than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room
temperature is warmer than 90oF (32oC).
•The RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT unit should only be used with masks (and
connectors)*recommended by ResMed, or by your physician or respiratory
therapist. A mask should not be used unless the RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT unit is
turned on and operating properly. The vent hole or holes associated with the
mask should never be blocked.
Explanation: The RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT unit is intended to be used with
special masks (or connectors)*which have vent holes to allow continuous flow of
air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new
air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes.
However, when the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided
through the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled
air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to suffocation.
This applies to most models of CPAP devices.
•The RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT unit should only be connected to the components,
humidifiers, or accessories specified in this manual. Connection of other items may
result in injury, or damage to the RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT unit.
•At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not
clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
•This device is not intended for use with supplemental oxygen.
* Ports may be incorporated in the mask or in connectors that are near the mask.

ENGLISH
MEDICAL INFORMATION
•Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.
•Blocking the hose while in operation could lead to overheating of the device.
WARNINGS RELATED TO OXYGEN USE
!
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 air delivery tubing may accumulate within the device
enclosure and create a risk of fire. This applies to most types of CPAP machines.
•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the
presence of an open flame.
•Always ensure airflow is being generated by the device before the oxygen supply is
turned on.
•Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping the airflow from the device.
Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will
vary, depending on where the oxygen is introduced, the pressure settings, patient breathing
pattern, mask selection, and leak rate.
WARNINGS RELATED TO TREATMENT
!
WARNING
•If you stop your CPAP treatment, your sleep apnea will return.
•Always consult your clinician if you expect to be in a situation where you cannot
use your RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT unit.
•If you are admitted to a hospital or prescribed any other form of medical
treatment, always inform the medical staff that you are being treated with CPAP. It
is also important to contact the clinician who is treating you for sleep apnea.
•If you experience an infection of the upper respiratory tract, middle ear, or sinuses,
contact your clinician before continuing your CPAP treatment. You may be
advised to stop treatment until the infection has cleared. If you continue with
treatment during an infection, be sure to clean your mask and tubing after every
use.
CAUTIONS
The following are general cautions. Specific cautions appear next to the relevant
instructions in the manual.
•Do not open the RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT case. There are no user serviceable
parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an
authorized service agent.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
The RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT flow generator helps you have a good night’s sleep.
However, you need to be aware of possible problems that may arise during CPAP
treatment.
!
WARNING
Consult your clinician immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms
during your CPAP treatment:
•headache
•middle ear or sinus discomfort
•chest pain
•dryness of the nose, mouth, or throat
•feeling bloated due to air swallowing
•air continually leaking out of the mouth while sleeping
•recurrence of any sleep apnea symptoms while on CPAP.
Skin irritation may occur from sensitivity to the mask materials or from excessively tight
headgear straps. A correctly fitted mask and appropriately adjusted straps will often
prevent skin irritation. If problems persist, contact your clinician for advice.

ALTITUDE COMPENSATION
Changes in altitude will affect the pressure delivered by the RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT.
The device has a feature which compensates for these changes in altitude.
As you move or travel with the RESMED S7 LIGHTWEIGHT to areas of different
altitudes, you will need to adjust the altitude compensation setting in the device. To
change the altitude compensation setting, see “Using the Menus” on page 14.
There are three altitude settings to choose from:
For example, if you are at an altitude of 3107 ft (947 m), your altitude compensation
setting would be 2001–4000 ft (611–1219 m), as 3107 ft falls within that range.
Note: If you are above 7000 ft (2134 m), consider consulting your clinician.
Altitude Settings
0–2000 ft (0–610 m)
