Using humidifiers
• The heated humidifier H4i™ attaches to
the front of the VPAP device.
• VPAP automatically detects the H4i,
and no menu changes are required.
• The H4i seamlessly integrates with the
VPAP for superior humidity
• 30% more humidification (compared with H3i)
• Choices of cleanable water chambers
(standard) and disposable (accessory) water chambers
7 VPAP IV/ST June 08 © ResMed
Adding oxygen
• Oxygen can be added at the
ResMed oxygen connector port
(26960)
• Validated up to 15 L/min O2
• FiO2 will vary, depending on the
pressures, patient breathing
pattern, mask (exhaust vent flow)
and the leak
8 VPAP IV/ST June 08 © ResMed
Safer supplemental oxygen
Oxygen
VPAP
• Safer therapy with oxygen up to
15 L/min
• Proprietary design (patent
pending) maximises oxygen
flow to the patient and
enhances safety by reducing
the chance of oxygen flowing
back to the device.
• VPAP IV and VPAP IV ST have
improved sealing air path.
9 VPAP IV/ST June 08 © ResMed
AB filter and battery
• Antibacterial filters can be used
• Low impedance filters (e.g. less
than 2 cmH2O at 60 L/min) are
recommended
• Triggering and cycling may be
affected due to the increased
resistance in the air circuit
• The VPAP can be powered by
a battery using an inverter or
ResMed DC 24V converter
(26932)
• DC 24V converter should not
be connected to the VPAP
when the it is connected to AC
power supply. This may
generate electrical interference
• If, by accident, AC and DC are
connected simultaneously,
VPAP runs from AC power and
automatically switches to DC
when AC power is lost

Ramp and H4i Warm-up
• Ramp or Settling time allows
VPAP to slowly increase the
pressure over the selected time
• Warm-up feature allows the
water in the humidifier to warm
up prior to starting treatment
• When selected, Ramp or
Settling appears after the
Welcome screen
• When the H4i is attached and
the VPAP is powered, a display
of warm up will appear
13 VPAP IV/ST June 08 © ResMed
Mask-fitting feature
• The mask-fitting feature helps the patient adjust the mask to
effectively minimise leak
• While checking mask fit, VPAP delivers pressure similar to
therapy pressure (IPAP) for three minutes
Hold down for 3 seconds
14 VPAP IV/ST June 08 © ResMed
The mask fit has a star rating up to five
stars. Achieving a rating of three stars is
effective.
Note: VPAP copes well with leak so please
DO NOT tighten the mask headgear
straps.

Leak management - Vsync
Essential for successful NPPV therapy
Vsync monitors and compensates for leak by continuously and
automatically adjusting the baseline flow therapy maintaining reliable
triggering and cycling.
17 VPAP IV/ST June 08 © ResMed
Ti Control
Inspiratory time control (S and ST mode)
• Ti Control provides minimum
and maximum inspiratory time
limits.
• The minimum and maximum
time limits are set at either side
of the patient’s ideal
spontaneous inspiratory time,
providing a ‘window of
opportunity’ for the patient to
spontaneously cycle to EPAP.
