Instructions for the ResMed 6 CPAP Machine

The ResMed S6 is an older model of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device used for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. It features a microprocessor-controlled motor that maintains consistent pressure to make CPAP therapy more comfortable. It is very lightweight, and can adjust for different altitudes, so it is convenient to use when you travel. The device has a very simple interface and no user-programmable settings, so operating the S6 is very easy.
