•• For optimal oxygen sensor accuracy and occlusion alarm accuracy, the displayed
pressure should be within 50 hPa of ambient atmospheric pressure. During startup
the system displays the atmospheric pressure setting (for example, “Patm : 1010
hPa”). If the setting needs to be adjusted, use the configuration menu to enter
the correct value. For more information, see the “Selecting Menu Items from the
Configuration Menu” section in Chapter 4. Setup.
NOTE: 1 hPa = 1 mbar = 1.022 cmH2O.
•• Ensure that a patient is not connected to the NeoPAP System during start-up selftest.
•• Do not operate the NeoPAP without an internal battery or oxygen sensor installed.
NOTE: The NeoPAP System cannot complete its start-up self-test unless the start-up part
is correctly installed.
NOTE: Ensure that the internal battery and the oxygen sensor are installed. If the internal
battery or oxygen sensor is not installed, STOP! Refer to Chapter 7: Maintenance for
instructions on installing either of these items before proceeding.
NOTE: The delivery tube connection includes the following:
•• Modular air delivery adapter - the delivery circuit tubing from the humidifier
connects to the modular air delivery adapter, located on the bottom of the NeoPAP
device.
•• Delivery circuit tubing - the delivery circuit tubing connects the humidifier to the
modular air delivery adapter and connects to the delivery circuit adapter.
•• Pressure barb - the pressure line on the delivery circuit adapter connects to the
pressure barb, located on the bottom of the NeoPAP device.
•• Delivery circuit adapter with pressure line - the delivery circuit adapter connects
to the NeoPAP interface. In addition, the delivery circuit tubing connects to the
delivery circuit adapter and the pressure line coming from the delivery circuit
adapter connects to the pressure barb on the bottom of the NeoPAP device.
Once the NeoPAP System is set up, follow these steps to start operation:
