compensating to meet your pressure needs. Your breathing patterns are continuously
analyzed, stored and used to make any needed pressure adjustment.
The rate of pressure adjustment can be as high as 10 cmH2O in a 10 minute period with
changes made gradually enough to prevent disturbing your sleep yet quickly enough to
respond to your pressure needs. In the absence of respiratory events, the pressure is
reduced to maximize your comfort. The SleepCube AutoAdjust is also capable of operating
in CPAP mode – without the automatic functionality described above – to give your
physician maximum versatility in prescribing treatment for your sleep condition.

Acclimating To Your Therapy

Naturally anything new – including CPAP therapy – takes some getting used to. Having your
mouth or nose (or both) covered by a mask may make you feel anxious or claustrophobic.
Feeling the rush of air from your SleepCube may cause discomfort or concern. But don't
worry – every successful, long-term CPAP user began where you are today with the same
reactions and concerns, and overcame them to enjoy the full benefits of their therapy.
Here are some steps to help you gradually ease into your therapy and overcome your
anxieties:
1. Try attaching the mask to the CPAP unit, and switching the unit "On." Practice
breathing through the mask for one hour while watching television, reading, or
performing some other sitting activity.
2. If you nap, use the CPAP during this time.
3. Use CPAP at least during the first initial 3-4 hours of nighttime sleep.
4. Use CPAP through an entire night of sleep.
Advance through the above steps one step at a time and progress to the next step as soon
as you can carry out the current step without anxiety.

Benefits Of Your Therapy

As a DeVilbiss SleepCube user, you are on your way to living a happier, healthier life – a life
free from the sleep disruptions and health risks associated with OSA. After you become
acclimated to CPAP therapy, you may be surprised at how much better you feel, both
physically and emotionally. CPAP therapy may give you the opportunity to finally experience
the deep, restful sleep you've been missing out on. Many patients find they have more
energy, better judgment, and improved concentration during the day. With effective therapy
you'll be less stressed, less irritable and more like your old self again, with a healthy, positive
outlook on life. In fact, you may well wish you'd gotten your SleepCube sooner!
