ResLink™  
The ResLink is a device that records data onto a SmartMedia™ card during your  
therapy. The card can be returned to your clinician so that they can observe your  
progress and adjust flow generator parameters if necessary. The ResLink  
connects to the back of VPAP Adapt SV as shown. For full details on using the  
ResLink, please refer to the ResLink User’s Manual.  
Anti-bacterial Filter  
Your clinician may recommend that you use an anti-bacterial filter. A filter should  
be placed in the air tubing between the mask and the flow generator. If using a  
humidifier, place the filter between it and the flow generator (see Figure 10  
below).  
Typically, the filter should be replaced daily. Check the filter instructions for full  
details.  
Whenever a filter is added, removed or replaced you must run the Air Circuit  
Learn function (see “Learn Circuit” on page 22).  
Note: Only hydrophobic anti-bacterial filters should be used with a HumidAire 2i.

Using DC Power to Run the VPAP Adapt SV  
The VPAP Adapt SV can be run on DC in case of power failure. ResMed supplies  
separately a converter that allows a 12 V or 24 V battery to be connected to the  
DC input of the VPAP Adapt SV. When using DC, power is turned on and off via  
the switch on the connector that connects the DC-DC converter to the battery,  
not the power switch at the back of the VPAP Adapt SV. The DC converter is a  
separate accessory that can be purchased through your ResMed distributor.  
The humidifier heater will be automatically disabled when the VPAP Adapt SV is  
operating from the DC supply.  
Power consumption of the VPAP Adapt SV varies with treatment settings.  
Adequate battery type and sizing is required before operation on DC, and it is  
recommended that you contact ResMed’s Technical Services division or  
ResMed's website for information on your specific application.  
CAUTION  
!
The VPAP Adapt SV uses 30 V DC power. Only connect the VPAP Adapt SV  
to DC power using the VPAP Adapt SV DC Converter (P/N 26928) specified  
for this application.  
Supplemental Oxygen  
The VPAP Adapt SV is designed to be compatible with the use of low flow oxygen  
therapy provided from an external source and supplied at a fixed rate of up to  
15 L/min. At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen  
concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing  
pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning applies to most types of  
bilevel machines.  
WARNINGS  
!
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 ventilator tubing may accumulate  
within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.  
Always begin VPAP Adapt SV therapy before the oxygen supply is  
turned on.  
Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping VPAP Adapt SV  
therapy.  
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while  
smoking or in the presence of an open flame.

Learn Circuit  
The Air Circuit Learn function takes approximately 20 seconds to run. It allows  
the unit to ’learn’ what pressure it needs to build in to its calculations, based on  
the components in the system. Select LEARN CIRCUIT every time you add or  
remove a component (eg, mask, humidifier) or move to a significantly different  
altitude.  
To run this function:  
1. Set up the entire VPAP Adapt SV system (flow generator, mask, humidifier  
etc.) as you wish to use it.  
2. Make sure that the mask is unobstructed so air can flow from the mask to  
the flow generator.  
3. Turn on the VPAP Adapt SV at the power switch.  
4. Move through the menus until you reach LEARN CIRCUIT and select ’yes’ by  
pressing the Left key.  
5. A message will remind you to check that the airflow from the mask is clear.  
Select ’start’ with the Left key.  
6. A progress screen is displayed while the Air Circuit Learn function is running.  
LEARNING CIRCUIT

7. When the function is complete, a screen will appear saying that the circuit  
has been learned successfully. The next menu item is then displayed.  
Commence treatment as described in “Starting Treatment” on page 17.  
If there is a problem with the circuit a screen saying ’Invalid circuit’ will be  
displayed instead of the progress screen. Check that all the connections  
between the pieces of equipment are secure. You may need to return to the  
previous chapter of this manual to check that you have set up the system  
correctly.  
SmartStop  
Turn the SmartStop function on or off. When SmartStop is on, the  
VPAP Adapt SV will automatically turn itself off when the mask is removed.  
Note: The unit will automatically ’SmartStart’ whenever you start to breathe  
into the mask.  
Leak Alert  
Turn Leak Alert on or off. Leak Alert sounds an alarm when you have a high leak  
from your mask. You can then adjust the mask on your face to remove the leak.  
If Leak Alert is turned off, an extra leak alert message will be displayed at the end  
of a session if high leak occurred. The message will be displayed until a key is  
pressed.  
Ramp (CPAP mode only)  
Ramp time is the length of time taken for the air pressure to build up to the  
maximum pressure set by your clinician. This setting allows you to increase or  
decrease the ramp time in 5-minute intervals.  
If you find that you are still awake when the air pressure starts to build you may  
wish to increase the Ramp time.

Alarms  
The VPAP Adapt SV unit is fitted with alarms to alert you to changes that will  
affect your treatment. The most common reason for an alarm to sound is  
because the system has not been properly assembled. Check that the air tubing  
and pressure sensor tube have been properly attached to the flow generator and  
mask (and humidifier if used).  
You can mute an alarm by pressing the Alarm Mute key once. Unless the alarm  
requires you to turn the power off, you can press any key again to remove the  
alarm message from the LCD screen. If the problem is still present the alarm will  
sound and display again after one minute. The Alarm LED will remain lit for as  
long as the problem is present.  
All menus remain available during an alarm.  
We recommend that you test the audible alarm once a week. To do this, hold  
down the Alarm Mute key while the VPAP Adapt SV is starting up. If the alarm  
is functioning correctly it will beep twice.

transmitter manufacturer and d is the  
recommended separation distance in meters  
(m).  
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as  
determined by an electromagnetic site  
survey,a should be less than the compliance  
level in each frequency range.b  
Interference may occur in the vicinity of  
equipment marked with the following symbol:  
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.  
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by  
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.  
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and  
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted  
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an  
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which  
the VPAP Adapt SV is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the VPAP Adapt SV should  
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be  
necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the VPAP Adapt SV.  
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 10 V/m.
