5 IMPORTANT! WARNING! Setting air flow The oxygen quantity setting is made at the oxygen source. Setting the air flow on the TNI 20 oxy changes the portion of room air in the air mixture. Fire hazard when using oxygen! Standard setting: Example: Decreasing the air flow Turn the left knob to increase or decrease the air flow setting (max. 20.0 lpm) as mixture of room air and oxygen, i.e. to change the portion of room air in the entire air flow. The change is immediately effective. Set the portion of oxygen in the air mixture, or the prescribed quantity in liter per minute, at the oxygen source. 6 (see operating instructions p. 29) Setting ramp time By turning the central knob you can set a ramp time. During this time the air flow is increased stepwise from a starting low value to the level that has been set for therapy. So you can go to sleep with an air flow that is pleasant for you Standard setting: Example: Selecting a ramp time of 45 mins When the central knob is turned the device recognizes that the ramp time is to be adjusted and activates the menus required. Turning the knob further sets the ramp time over which the air flow is raised to the therapeutic value. The delay required depends on how long it takes you to fall asleep. If a key or knob is not activated, the setting that has been made is saved after 2 seconds and the display shows the remaining time, which of course gets continually less. During the ramp time the setting for comfort cannot be changed. (see operating instructions p. 30)
7 Comfort setting The comfort setting allows the user to select his or her preferred temperature and air humidity parameters. The applicator must be inserted in the nose when changing these settings. Standard setting: maximum warming and humidification minimum warming and humidification When is which setting appropriate? If the weather is cold and dry: Turn the comfort knob all the way to the right If the weather is warm and moist: Turn the comfort knob all the way to the left What can you do if you have a burning sensation in your nose? Turn the comfort knob all the way to the right for maximum humidification. The change is effective immediately, but it takes a few minutes to adjust the temperature and humidity to the desired level. (see operating instructions p. 31-32) 8 Therapy compliance/language To read out the therapy compliance, press the key in operating mode. The following display appears: The therapy compliance since the first initial startup is displayed.
