Nasal CPAP
Nasal Positive Airway Pressure systems are used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder
that causes a physical obstruction in a person’s airway while sleeping. The principle of treatment is
that filtered air is delivered by a flow generator through flexible tubing to a nasal mask worn by the
patient while sleeping. The flow generator maintains a positive pressure in the patient’s airway
which acts as a pneumatic splint, preventing the airway from collapsing during sleep.
Features of the VPAP range

These devices provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP; in CPAP mode) and bilevel
pressure support to patients with OSA.

4 Operator safety and static precautions
Warning Prior to disassembly or assembly, make sure that the power is not connected to the flow
generator.
!
Integrated circuits (ICs) within the various PCBs can be badly damaged by electrostatic discharge
or transient voltages. The following procedures are recommended to avoid component damage:
1 Work benches where handling and repairs are done must have surfaces of suitable conducting
material connected via a 1 Mresistor to an electrical ground.
2 The area under and also in front of the work bench must be coated with a suitable conductive
floor paint, or alternatively covered with a conductive floor mat. The conductive paint coating or
floor mat must be connected to an electrical ground.
3 Soldering irons or solder baths must be at the same reference (ground) potential as the work
bench.
4 A wrist strap must be worn by service personnel working at the bench. The wrist strap must
have a conductive lead (1 M) connected to the bench surface. Alternatively, a heel grounding
strap to ground the operator to the floor may be used. (Such a wrist or heel strap should not
create an electrical hazard for the wearer).
5 Handling of ICs should be kept to a minimum. If handling is required, avoid directly touching the
leads. The recommended procedure is to first touch the container in which the ICs are stored,
or the PCB in which they are mounted, before touching the ICs. Service personnel should take
every precaution that the items will see the same reference potential when moved.
6 All ICs and PCB assemblies containing ICs should be stored in antistatic bags until use.
7 Service personnel should wear clothing which minimizes the build up of static charges. Cotton
is preferable to wool or synthetic fibres.
8 Service personnel should avoid electrostatic build up through the movement of air over plastic
material.
9 Plastic materials should wherever possible be kept away from the ICs as they develop and
maintain high levels of static charge.
10 Low humidity increases potential static problems. Maintaining humidity levels above 60% is
one of the most effective ways to guard against static handling problems.

5 Replacing major subassemblies
This section contains brief instructions and points to be aware of as you replace major
subassemblies and reassemble the flow generator.
Caution When the main PCB, flow meter or motor is replaced, the flow generator must be
recalibrated and tested. Follow the procedures in Section 7 Calibration procedures to
! calibrate the unit, then repeat tests 6-17 in Section 3 General inspection and servicing.
Printed circuit boards can be damaged by static electricity. Please read the instructions in
Section 4 Operator safety and static precautions before attempting to replace any
PCBs.
Thread cutting screws are used throughout the flow generator. When replacing a thread
cutting screw, turn the screw anti-clockwise until it fits into the previously cut thread,
otherwise the original thread may be stripped out.
