Note the Differential Pressure Sensor can only be turned on for 10 hours in continuous use.
Finish the next steps by selecting the battery types and editing the Patient Information.
2. Setup for the Differential Pressure Sensor and the Nox T3
To setup the Nox T3 and the differential pressure sensor for recording, please follow the steps below:
1. Connect the two Hydrophobic Filters to the Ultima Pressure Sensor.
2. Connect the white Diff Pressure Connector Cable to the Airflow & Snoring input on the Ultima Pressure Sensor device.
3. Connect the Mask Tube to the Pneumo Flow Sensor.
4. Wrap the Diff Pressure Connector Cable around the Mask Tube
5. Connect the Pneumo Flow Straight Connector (Pneumo Flow Sensor) to the CPAP/VPAP
6. Connect the Diff Pressure Connector Cable to the T3 Adapter Cable as shown in figure 9
7. Plug the two unipolar connectors in Channel 1 inputs on the Nox T3 device.
8. Plug the filter tube in the pressure port of the T3 recording device.
9. Connect the mask tubing (female x male) to the mask.
10. Fasten the Diff Pressure Connector Cable to the mask tube with medical tape; it makes it easier for the patient to unplug/plug the device during the recording.
11. On the left side of the Ultima Pressure Sensor switch the button to select the gain, Low or High.
12. On the right side of the device switch the button to power the device on.
13. Now the Status light located on the top of the device blinks green.
