Chapter 1: Warnings, Cautions,

and Notes

WARNING: Indicates the possibility of injury to the patient,

operator, or technician.

CAUTION: Indicates the possibility of damage to the device.

NOTE: Places emphasis on an operating characteristic.

1.1 WARNINGS

1.1.1 Safety

• This device is intended for adult use only.

• This device is not intended for life support or life

sustaining applications.

• The instructions in this manual are not intended to

supersede established medical protocols.

1.1.2 Operational

• This warning applies to most Continuous Positive

Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices. At low CPAP

pressures, the air flow through the exhalation port

may not be enough to clear all of the exhaled gas

(CO2) from the mask. You may breathe in some of

the air that you have exhaled.

• If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow

must be turned off when the device is turned off. If

the device’s air flow is turned off and the oxygen

flow is left on, oxygen may accumulate in the

Tranquility Quest Plus CPAP System enclosure and

may create a risk of fire. This warning applies to

most types of CPAP devices.

• When supplemental oxygen is used at a fixed flow

rate, inhaled oxygen concentrations will vary

depending on pressure settings, patient breathing

patterns, mask selection, and leak rate.

• Oxygen supports combustion. Do not use oxygen

in the presence of open flames, cigarette smoke,

electrical spark, or other sources of ignition.

• This device is not suitable for use in the presence of

a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with

oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

Tranquility Quest Plus CPAP System Service Manual 5

1003740

The ramp feature lets the user reduce the pressure from the unit so

that the patient can fall asleep at a lower, more comfortable pressure

at any time or as many times as needed during the night.

The patient circuit is made up of the flexible tubing, exhalation port,

and nasal mask. The unit applies CPAP to the patient’s upper

airway to keep the airway open during the sleep. Air flow gener-

ated from the unit is directed to the patient via a mask and flexible

tubing that connects to the air outlet port of the unit.

The Tranquility Quest Plus is intended to deliver CPAP therapy

only. It is not intended for life support or life sustaining applica-

tions.

Chapter 3: Theory of Operation

3.1 Functional Description

The Tranquility Quest Plus is a microprocessor-controlled Continu-

ous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device that produces positive

pressure. The unit operates only in the CPAP Mode. CPAP Mode

pressure range: 3.0 – 20.0 cm H2O.

Integral to the generation of air flow is the blower assembly. Ambi-

ent air is drawn through the air intake filter by the energized blower

and is then pressurized. Ultimately, therapeutic pressure is pro-

vided to the patient via the patient circuit. The microprocessor

regulates the motor speed, which in turn adjusts and controls the

pressure.

The Tranquility Quest Plus’s control pad, which includes three push

buttons and an LCD display is the primary means by which the

patient therapy is controlled. Patients have limited access to unit

parameters.

The unit may be powered from AC voltage (100-240 VAC). AC

power enters the unit via an AC inlet and appropriate power cord.

The two system filters, the pollen and the ultra-fine, ensure opti-

mum operation for the user. An air outlet port allows for connec-

tion to the patient circuit.

Procedures

NOTE: This section provides directions for accessing the

Therapy Menu. Prescribed therapy settings can

only be set using the Therapy Menu. (To prevent

patients from tampering with the settings, the

directions to access the Therapy Menu should not

be revealed to the patient.)

CAUTION: If the Tranquility Quest Plus CPAP System has

been exposed to either very hot or very cold

temperatures, allow it to adjust to room

temperature (approximately one hour) before

beginning setup.

4.1 Pressure and Ramp Settings

The pressure and ramp settings for the unit are set using the

Control Panel on the bottom of the unit. When not in use the

Control Panel display will show the current compliance meter

reading for the unit. This reading will reflect the total number of

hours that the patient has been breathing on the unit.

With the unit turned on and looking at the bottom, press the up

and down arrow button simultaneously for three seconds and the

pressure and ramp setting will be displayed. The Minimum

Pressure setting will now be flashing. Press the up or down arrow

button to change the setting. Press the mode button to move to the

ramp setting. Press the up or down arrow button to change the

setting. The setting is implemented immediately when the up or

down button is pressed. Press the mode button for three seconds

to lock the controls.

The display will revert to the compliance meter display 60 seconds

after the last time a button has been pushed. The settings can only

be changed if they are flashing, otherwise they are locked.

Chapter 5: Routine Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the System

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the electrical

supply before attempting to clean the Tranquility

Quest Plus. DO NOT immerse the unit in water or

allow any liquid to enter the cabinet or the filter

intake.

Wipe the outside of the unit with a cloth slightly

dampened with water and a mild detergent. Let the

unit dry before reconnecting the electrical supply.

5.2 Cleaning / Replacing the

Intake Filters

The gray pollen filter is a reusable filter that screens out pollens and

some household dust. This filter should be cleaned at least once

every two weeks under normal usage, or as required, and replaced

with a new one every six months. The pollen filter must be in place

at all times when the unit is operating.

The disposable white ultra-fine filter increases filtration of pollens,

dust, some tobacco smoke, and small particles. The ultra-fine filter

is included with the system, but is optional and should be used in

addition to the pollen filter. The ultra-fine filter should never be

used without the pollen filter. Replace the ultra-fine filter after 30

nights of use or sooner if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the ultra-

fine filter.

CAUTION: Failure to replace a dirty filter may cause the device

to operate at higher then normal temperatures and

damage the device.

CAUTION: The pollen filter must be completely dry before

use. Never place a wet filter into the device.

Respironics recommends that you clean the filter in

the morning and alternate using the two pollen

filters provided with the system to ensure enough

drying time for the cleaned filter.
