1. Assemble the patient circuit according to the configurations presented in Chapter 10.<br />

2. If required, connect a bacteria filter to the breathing circuit connection (shown in Figure 5-2), and connect the patient<br />

tubing to the outlet of the bacteria filter.<br />

• If the bacteria filter is not required, connect the patient tubing directly to the breathing circuit connection.<br />

• If a humidifier is to be used, connect the inlet to the bacteria filter outlet or to the breathing circuit connection.<br />

A completed assembly (without humidifier) appears in Figure 5-2.<br />

5.1.3 Supplying Power to the Device<br />

WARNING:<br />

CAUTION:<br />

WARNING:<br />

The BiPAP auto<strong>SV</strong> device can operate on AC or DC power. The DC power option is not intended as a<br />

battery backup during use of AC power.<br />

When DC power is obtained from a vehicle battery, the device should not be used while the vehicle’s engine<br />

is running. Damage to the device or the vehicle may occur.<br />

Route the wires to avoid tripping.<br />

5.1.3.1 AC Operation<br />

WARNING:<br />

For proper use, the external AC power supply must be placed feet down, in the upright position, as shown in<br />

Figure 5–3.<br />

1. Plug the pronged end of the AC power supply’s cord into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch.<br />

2. The external AC power supply features a cord retainer to provide strain relief for the AC power cord. Wrap the cord<br />

around the AC power supply’s cord retainer, using the wire tie supplied with your power supply.<br />

3. Leaving a small amount of slack in the cord, connect the cord on the other side of the power supply to one of the power<br />

inlets on the device. The power cord has a locking connector. To properly plug the cord in:<br />

a. Pull the locking mechanism back.<br />

b. Push the connector into place.<br />

c. Release the lock.<br />

4. Wrap the cord around the device’s power cord retainer, which provides strain relief for the power cord.<br />

5. Ensure that all connections are secure.<br />
