Setting up your Luna G3 CPAP machine involves connecting the necessary components and preparing the humidifier. While a full setup includes several steps, the process generally focuses on connecting the power, tubing, mask, and preparing the humidifier.
Getting Started with Your Luna G3 CPAP
Setting up your Luna G3 CPAP machine ensures you are ready for therapy. Here are the typical steps involved, incorporating information about the humidifier water chamber.
General Setup Steps:
- Place the Device: Find a stable, level surface near your bed, ideally lower than your sleeping position to allow condensation to drain away from the mask.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the back of the Luna G3 machine and then into a wall outlet.
- Connect Tubing: Attach the CPAP tube securely to the air outlet port on the back of the machine. If you are using a heated tube, ensure it is correctly connected to the heated tube port.
- Connect Mask: Attach the other end of the CPAP tube to your CPAP mask.
Handling the Humidifier Water Chamber
The integrated heated humidifier requires preparing the water chamber. The provided reference snippets highlight key actions related to the water chamber:
- Open the Lid: You will need to open the lid of the chamber to access the inside for filling.
- Fill the Chamber: Use distilled water to fill the chamber up to the maximum fill line. The reference mentions a "Device to fill your water chamber," suggesting you use an appropriate container or the specified method to add water.
- Reattach the Chamber: Once filled, close the lid securely and then reinsert the water chamber into the machine. It should "reattach to the pack" (or main device unit) correctly.
- Start Therapy: Once everything is connected and the water chamber is in place (if using humidification), you can typically put on your mask and press the Start/Stop button on the machine to begin therapy.
Always refer to your Luna G3 user manual or an official setup video for complete and detailed instructions specific to your model.
