Explains special measures for the safe and effective use of the device.
Medical Information
Intended Use
The VPAP Adapt SV system is intended to provide non-invasive ventilatory
support to treat adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and respiratory
insufficiency caused by central and/or mixed apneas and periodic breathing. This
device is intended for use in the hospital or home.
Contraindications
The VPAP Adapt SV is not a life support ventilator and may stop operating with
power failure or in the unlikely event of certain fault conditions.
Before using the VPAP Adapt SV tell your doctor if you have any of the following
conditions:
•hypotension or significant intravascular volume depletion
•acute sinusitis or otitis media
•epistaxis (severe nose bleeds) causing a risk of pulmonary aspiration
•conditions predisposing to a risk of vomiting into mask

2
•impaired ability to clear secretions
•pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
•recent cranial trauma or surgery
•chronic hypoventilation.
Below are general warnings and cautions. Further specific warnings,
cautions and notes appear next to the relevant instructions in the manual.
!
Warnings
•The VPAP Adapt SV is NOT a life support ventilator.
•The entire manual should be read before using the VPAP Adapt SV.
•Advice contained in this manual should not supersede instructions given by
the prescribing physician.
•The VPAP Adapt SV should be used with masks and accessories
recommended by ResMed or the prescribing physician. Use of incorrect
masks and accessories may adversely affect the function of the
VPAP Adapt SV.
•The VPAP Adapt SV is designed for use with masks that allow exhaled gases
to be flushed out through vent holes. Exhaled gases will be rebreathed if the
mask is worn with the machine turned off, or the vent holes are occluded. If
this occurs over prolonged periods, suffocation may occur.
•In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask.
•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 VPAP Adapt SV can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cm H2O. In the
unlikely event of certain fault conditions, pressures of up to 40 cm H2O for
less than one second are possible.
•The VPAP Adapt SV is not suitable for use in the vicinity of flammable
anesthetics.
•If oxygen is used with the VPAP Adapt SV, the oxygen flow should be
stopped when the device is not operating. If oxygen flow continues when
the device is not operating, oxygen may accumulate within the device and
create a risk of fire.
•Do not use the VPAP Adapt SV if there are obvious external defects or
unexplained changes in performance.
•Do not open the VPAP Adapt SV case. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an
authorized service agent.

breathlessness to your physician. An acute upper respiratory tract infection may
require temporary discontinuation of treatment.
