Using the Menus
The VPAP Malibu unit provides a set of functions which are arranged in menus
and submenus. Via the LCD screen, the menus and submenus allow you to view
and change the settings for a particular function. You can access the menus
regardless of whether the
VPAP Malibu is in standby mode or delivering therapy.
After the Welcome screen appears and device self-checks are complete, you will
see either the Ramp screen (S mode and CPAP mode) or the Settling screen
(VSet mode).
Ramp Screen
(S mode, CPAP mode) If your clinician has set a maximum ramp time, the Ramp
screen is displayed after the Welcome screen. On the Ramp screen, you can
immediately set a ramp time. Ramp time is the period during which the pressure
increases from a low pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure. See “Ramp
Time” on page 23.
Ramp time can be altered in five minute increments (from OFF to a maximum
ramp time set by your clinician) by the using the
Up/Down key.
Settling Screen
(VSet mode) If your clinician has set a maximum settling time, the Settling screen
is displayed after the Welcome screen. On the Settling screen, you can
immediately set a settling time. Settling time is the period for which the
VPAP Malibu remains at Minimum Pressure, before increasing pressure in
response to events. See “Settling Time” on page 23.
Settling time can be altered in five minute increments (from OFF to a maximum
settling time set by your clinician) by the using the
Up/Down key.
Menus
The menu allows you to view details about the time used and the current
software version of your
VPAP Malibu. The Used (time) screen displays the total
number of hours for which you have used the device since it was last reset by
the clinician. It also displays the number of days the
VPAP Malibu was used out
of the total number of days available for use. The SW screen displays the current
software version that is installed in your VPAP Malibu.
