During ramp time, the pressure increases from a low pressure to the prescribed
treatment pressure. You can set the ramp time in 5-minute intervals, from 0 minutes
(OFF) up to a maximum ramp time set by your clinician.
The standby screen displays the current ramp time in the right-hand corner. To change
the ramp time, press the
Up or Down key until the desired ramp time appears.
Once a ramp time is selected, begin therapy by pressing the
Start/Stop key.
When ramping begins the LCD will display the word "RAMPING", with the current
pressure indicated as dashes. Each dash is approximately equivalent to 2 cm H
2

example, six dashes represents approximately 12 cm H
2
O pressure.

SETTING
If you move or travel with your
S8 E
SCAPE
to areas of different altitude, you will need
to adjust the altitude compensation setting. Changes in altitude will affect the pressure
delivered by the
S8 E
SCAPE
.
You can use the Altitude setting (ALT) to specify the altitude range at which you are
using your
S8 E
SCAPE
.
Select the
S8 E
SCAPE
menu by pressing the
Left key in the
standby (RAMP) screen. Scroll to ALT and select Change (
Left key). Press the Up or
Down keys until you see the setting option that you require.
There are four altitude settings to choose from:
•
0–609 m
•
610–1219 m
•
1220–1828 m
•
1829–2591 m.
For example, if you are at an altitude of 947 m, your altitude compensation setting
would be 610–1219 m, as 947 m falls within that range.
Press the
Left key (Apply) to select the correct setting.
