Using the Mask-Fitting feature
The VPAP Auto 25, VPAP ST and VPAP S include a mask-fitting feature to help you
fit your mask properly. The mask-fitting feature delivers air pressure for a three-
minute period, prior to starting treatment, for checking and adjusting your mask fit to
minimize leaks.
To use the mask-fitting feature:
1 Fit your mask as described in the mask user instructions.
2 Hold down for at least three seconds until air pressure delivery starts and
the following screen appears:
The LCD displays a mask-fit star rating from zero to five stars. Three to five stars
indicates a good fit or better. Zero to two stars indicates that the mask needs to be
adjusted.
Reminders on the VPAP LCD
Your clinician may have set your VPAP device to remind you about important events,
such as when to replace your mask, when to insert your Data Card (if your device is
Data Card enabled) and so on.
The reminder message is displayed on the LCD and is visible if the device is not
delivering therapy. The backlight on the LCD flashes when a message is displayed.
Your clinician can set any of the following reminders on your LCD:
