How To Use Resmed Bipap Machine Lumis 100 With Humidifier

Here are the steps for using the ResMed BiPAP machine model Lumis 100 with a humidifier:

1.      Connect the humidifier: First, ensure that you have a compatible humidifier for your ResMed BiPAP machine model Lumis 100. You can check the user manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm this. Once you have confirmed the compatibility, connect the humidifier to the machine. The humidifier should attach to the side of the machine, and there should be a hose connecting the two. Ensure that the hose is securely connected to both the machine and the humidifier.

2.      Fill the humidifier: Once the humidifier is connected, you need to fill it with distilled water. Do not use tap water as it can cause mineral buildup in the humidifier and damage the machine. Open the lid of the humidifier and fill it with distilled water up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill the humidifier as it may cause water to spill into the machine and damage it.

3.      Install the air filter: The ResMed BiPAP machine model Lumis 100 has an air filter that needs to be installed before use. Locate the air filter compartment on the back of the machine and open it. Remove the old air filter and insert a new one. Ensure that the filter is properly seated in the compartment before closing it.

4.      Power on the machine: Connect the machine to a power outlet and turn it on by pressing the power button. The machine will perform a self-test and display the start-up screen. Wait for the self-test to complete before proceeding.

5.      Adjust settings: Once the machine is powered on, you can adjust the settings as needed. The ResMed BiPAP machine model Lumis 100 has various settings that you can adjust, such as the pressure, humidity level, and ramp time. You can also set the language and time on the machine. To adjust the settings, use the controls on the machine or the remote control that comes with it. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions on how to adjust the settings.

6.      Connect the mask: Attach the mask to the machine and adjust it to fit comfortably. There are various types of masks available for the ResMed BiPAP machine model Lumis 100, such as nasal masks, full-face masks, and nasal pillows. Choose the mask that is most comfortable for you and fits properly. To attach the mask, connect it to the tubing on the machine and adjust the straps to fit securely. Ensure that there are no leaks around the mask.

7.      Start therapy: Once the mask is in place and the settings are adjusted, you can start your therapy by pressing the start button. The machine will begin delivering pressurized air to your airways, which helps to keep them open during sleep. The machine will also deliver humidified air to your airways if you have connected the humidifier.

8.      Monitor and adjust as needed: Throughout your therapy, monitor your comfort level and adjust the settings as needed. You may need to make adjustments to the humidity level, pressure, or other settings to ensure you are receiving the most effective therapy. For example, if you experience dryness in your mouth or nose, you may need to increase the humidity level. If you experience discomfort around the mask, you may need to adjust the straps or try a different mask.
