Please contact your physician for support to have your information added and updated in the software if this error occurs. Please Note: If using the InfoSmart software, an error message may appear stating that personal info does not match. To start the ramp on the Icon Novo, with the machine blowing air, press and hold the SmartDial for 3 seconds to start the ramp process. It is optional and can be used if desired. The ramp feature is not required for use of a CPAP machine. As another example, if a the prescribed pressure of a machine is 18 cmwp would start at 1/3 of 18 or 5 cmwp because 5 is greater than 4. The machine will use whichever is the larger of those two numbers.įor instance, if a machine pressure is set to 8 cmwp the ramp would start at 4 cmwp since 1/3 of 8 is 2.666 and 4 cmwp is the minimum setting. The ramp will start at 4 cmwp or at 1/3 of the prescribed pressure. The ramp starting pressure of the Icon Novo is determined by the machine and is based on the pressure setting of the machine. The length of the ramp cannot be adjusted by the user. The Icon Novo has a ramp feature that runs for 20 minutes. The SmartStick is used to easily transfer data from your CPAP to Fisher and Paykel InfoSmart Software. SmartStick Technology is a unique memory card that connects directly to a USB drive, without a separate card reader. The software offers detailed reporting including data regarding compliance, AHI, leak and pressure readings. Track your therapy effectiveness with InfoSmart and the SmartStick. Use the SmartStick Studio software to upload your favorite songs and have the ICON's alarm start your morning with music! Turn the dial to access efficacy data from the display or set the built-in alarm clock and music playing ability with the AlarmTunes function.
The ICON incorporates a single SmartDial that uses a "Press-Turn-Press" principle. The compact design and clock functionality makes the Fisher and Paykel ICON an ideal substitute for the bedside night stand. As higher levels of humidity start to relieve swelling within your nasal passages, resistance to therapy pressures can decrease and lower levels of therapy may become effective.Įffects of Humidification on Titration Pressures
The optional ThermoSmart breathing tube virtually eliminates rain-out and condensation in a CPAP hose.Ĭomparative Study of Humidification EffectivenessĪs an added benefit, ThermoSmart can also help lower overall therapy pressures. These coils conduct heat and can provide a constant temperature throughout the hose. This heated CPAP hose contains copper coils embedded in tubing and is 76.5 inches in length. To maximize the ICON's capabilities, Fisher and Paykel offer an optional heated breathing tube that works in conjunction with ThermoSmart Technology. The ICON uses sensors that track ambient room temperature to reduce condensation. ThermoSmart Technology delivers custom levels of high humidity that are maintained throughout the night, regardless of ambient temperature. As the room cools, most humidifiers cannot keep relative humidity levels at the mask, usually resulting in condensation forming in the CPAP hose. Typical heated CPAP humidification helps re-saturate therapy air, but effectiveness is restricted by ambient temperatures. CPAP airflow drys the nasal passages and can lead to congestion and mouth breathing. CPAP therapy works against this natural humidification. Under normal circumstances the air you breathe is naturally heated as it travels through your nasal passages. The Novo model establishes the ICON CPAP platform and includes standard features like: All ICON machines come with a built-in heated humidifier and ThermoSmart Technology.
