Humidification and Heated Tubing
The Luna G3 offers a heated humidifier with versatile options for humidification. It includes an automatic setting that adjusts the humidity level based on the surrounding environment, ensuring optimal humidity levels for your comfort. In addition, there are five fixed humidity levels to choose from, providing further customization. For added convenience, users can preheat the humidifier for 30 minutes before starting their therapy session.
The machine is compatible with all non-heated tubing that has standard 22mm cuffs. However, to prevent condensation or rainout in the CPAP tube and mask, it is recommended to use heated tubing. The good news is that the Luna G3 comes with heated tubing as a standard accessory, ensuring you have everything you need for an effective and comfortable sleep apnea therapy experience.
Comfort Features
The Luna G3 APAP machine offers a range of comfort features and settings to ensure a personalized and enjoyable therapy experience. These features include Reslex, Ramp Time/Auto Ramp, and Auto On.
Reslex is designed to enhance comfort by reducing pressure during exhalation, making breathing easier. Users have the option to turn off this feature or adjust it from levels 1 to 3, with each level corresponding to a specific amount of pressure reduction during exhalation.
The Ramp feature gradually increases the pressure from a lower, more comfortable initial level to the prescribed therapy pressure over a set Ramp Time, which can be adjusted between 0 and 60 minutes. On the other hand, the Auto Ramp feature is an enhanced version that starts with a lower pressure setting and only increases it once the user has fallen asleep.
Another convenient comfort feature is Auto On, which enables hands-free therapy initiation by simply breathing into the CPAP mask. This eliminates the need for manual activation and ensures a seamless start to your sleep apnea therapy session.
Data Access
The Luna G3 APAP machine provides users with multiple convenient options to access their sleep data and monitor their therapy progress. Users can download the 3B Luna QR Code app, available for both iOS and Android devices, and scan the QR code generated by the machine. This allows them to effortlessly access their compliance report and stay informed about their therapy performance.
Alternatively, users can utilize the web-based iCode Connect program, accessible through any internet browser. iCode Connect offers two methods for generating reports: downloading the data from the SD card or inputting the unique 16-digit iCode, which can be found under the "Report" icon on the home screen. With these accessible data access options, users can easily track their progress and ensure they are meeting their therapy goals.
Users who prefer to leave the compliance monitoring to their healthcare provider will want to ensure they purchase the Luna G3 model with an integrated cellular modem (LG3600). The modem uses cellular connectivity to automatically transmit therapy data to providers and also allows for remote setting changes for everyone's convenience.
FAQ
How do I clean my Luna G3 Auto CPAP Machine?
Disconnect the Luna G3 Auto from the power source and clean the exterior of the unit using a damp cloth. Take out the water chamber and heated tubing, and cleanse them with mild soap and warm water at least once per week. Submerge the water chamber and heated tubing in a solution of warm, soapy water, ensuring to rinse them thoroughly under a stream of running water. Allow the water chamber and tubing to air dry in a location away from direct sunlight.
To prevent the accumulation of mold and bacteria, it is advisable to empty the water chamber every 1 to 2 days. For the water chamber, utilize only distilled water to minimize the buildup of minerals, which can result in a stubborn, white chalky residue at the bottom of the chamber.
How often should I replace my Luna G3 supplies?
It is recommended to replace the tubing (heated or non-heated) and water chamber every 6 months. The reusable foam filter provided with the machine should also be replaced every 6 months. Alternatively, a disposable filter can be used in place of the reusable filter, but it should be replaced every 2 to 3 months since it cannot be washed. Keep in mind that the frequency of filter replacements may differ based on the air quality in your environment.
How do I remove the water chamber?
