Bluetooth Connection to SleepMapper
Bluetooth wireless technology has been included in the design of the machine to allow users to easily access their sleep results. Download the SleepMapper app onto a smartphone or tablet to direct the data to your account. Once installed, the app will pair with the machine each night to display results the next morning. The results may be used to review compliance between a doctor and patient.
OPTIONAL Heated Tube Humidifier
The Bluetooth 60 Series Pro CPAP machine attaches to the optional integrated humidifier to provide warm air from the CPAP machine to the mask. Attach the optional heated tube humidifier to add moisture from the water chamber into the therapy air. The optional heated tube included with the humidifier connects to the humidifier port so the warm air can maintain heat as it travels through the hose. Heating the air as it travels from the CPAP machine may diminish rainout and moisture in the mask.
System One Dry Box
The System One Dry Box technology reduces the chance of water damage to the 60 Series CPAP machine. The center air outlet port uses unique design features to help prevent water from exiting the chamber and entering the machine. The center air outlet port uses a one way valve. This location on the top of the chamber helps to minimize total water displacement. If water were to escape the chamber it is trapped by the Dry Box.
Smart Technology Modes
The smart technology of Auto-Trial Mode and CPAP-Check Mode offer up to 30 nights of auto adjusting capability. During that period of use the system functions as an Auto CPAP delivering an adaptive pressure on a breath by breath basis. Following the set time of the Auto-Trial mode, the machine functions as a CPAP delivering one set pressure that the patient was at or below 90% of the time.
The CPAP-Check mode continuously verifies pressure requirements and makes adjustments after every 30 hours of use providing the user with more effective pressure levels over time. An Auto-Trial mode must be a minimum of 3 nights in length. The entire available 30 nights of Auto-Trial do not need to be used continuously. Visit the "Important Tips" tab of this product page to read an example of the Auto-Trial and CPAP-Check modes.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT an Auto CPAP Machine. It functions as an Auto CPAP during Auto-Trial Mode and switches to CPAP mode during CPAP-Check mode.
C-Flex Plus Pressure Relief
Breathing naturally during CPAP therapy is accomplished through features such as C-Flex Plus, which are designed to soften CPAP pressure as the user transitions between inhalation and exhalation. Philips Respironics was a pioneer in offering machines with pressure relief, and they continue to use these features in the PR 60 Series Pro with Bluetooth.
System One Resistance Control
System One Resistance Control was developed by Respironics to help their machines reach the optimal pressure by using a numbering system which allows the CPAP device to recognize the mask being used with treatment. It achieves accuracy and reliability by instructing the device to compensate for the specific mask type. Please Note: Resipronics' masks are the only masks designed with a resistance control number. When planning to use this machine feature, be sure to use a Respironics mask.

PR System One Humidifier Modes
PR System One REMStar 60 Series machines version 1.22 or higher have two humidification modes:
- Classic Humidification
- System One Humidification
Version Note: To determine the version of the software installed on a PR System One REMStar 60 machine, unplug the machine and plug it back into an outlet. The version is displayed on the screen when the unit is first plugged into an outlet. The humidification settings are displayed only when a PR System One Heated Humidifier is attached to the machine.
Classic Mode Humidification
The Classic mode of humidification allows the CPAP user to control the heat setting on the humidifier. The user will select "Classic" mode settings C1, C2, C3, C4, or C5. The "C" in front of the humidification setting indicates "Classic." C1 is the lowest level of humidification and C5 is the highest level of humidification.
Please Note: If the PR System One Heated Tube for 60 Series Machines is attached to the humidifier the Classic mode humidification will not be offered, only System One Humidification Mode. To use the Classic mode of humidification attach a non-heated tube to the humidifier.
System One Humidification Mode
The System One Humidification uses the technology of the system to set the level of humidification delivered. The machine makes the decision based on the humidity present in the room air. The CPAP user decides how much they want to receive. A setting of 1 delivers the lowest humidity level and a setting of 5 delivers the highest level. The humidification setting will show 1 - 5. The letter "C" will NOT precede the number.
Passover Humidification, Heat Off
To turn the heated humidifier off, set the humidifier to zero "0". The air from the machine will pass over the water in the chamber acting as a passover Humidifier.
Setting the Humidification Mode and Level
Please Note: The humidifier menu will only show when the humidifier is attached to the machine.First, use the wheel on the machine to select the 'Setup' menu. Then, scroll through the menu to locate SYSTEM ONE Humidification. Select 'On' to allow the machine to determine the level of humidification delivered throughout the system based on the 1-5 setting. When in the SYSTEM ONE Humidification mode there is no letter indicator next to the number.
To control heat manually, select the 'Off' option. Then, set the humidification level by adjusting the number to the right of 'Humidifier,' which is found under SYSTEM ONE Humidification. Select a number within the range of 1 to 5. The letter "C" found in front of the humidification number represents the word 'Classic'. The lowest heat is recorded as C1, while C5 is the highest heat level.
Power Supply and DC Cable Compatibility Tips
Please Note: To power the humidifier, the Respironics' 80 Watt power supply is included with the purchase of a 60 Series Pro with Bluetooth and Heated Tube Humidifier. If the user chooses to use the CPAP machine without the humidifier and heated tube, the 60 Watt power supply may be used.
The External 80 Watt Power Supply for PR System One REMstar 60 Series Machines is NOT compatible with other versions of PR System One machines. The connection peg that plugs into a PR System One REMStar 60 Series machine is a specific size and will fit only this machine. The external power supply for this machine has different specifications than the External Power Supply for PR System One REMstar CPAP and BiPAP Machines used with other machines in the Philips Respironics lines. The Power Cord that plugs the external power supply into the wall outlet is the same for all System One Machines.
The Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines that is compatible with PR System One 60 Series Machines works ONLY with PR System One 60 Series Machines. The 12 Volt DC Power Cord (connects CPAP to cigarette lighter socket) used with other PR System One machines IS NOT compatible with 60 Series Machines.
System One Resistance Control Settings
Please reference this link to find the resistance control setting for the different Philips Respironics masks: System One Resistance Control Settings.
Hose Tips
The PR System One Heated Tube for 60 Series Machines is included with the purchase of this CPAP machine and humidifier. The heated hose connects to the electrical ports on the 60 Series Heated Humidifier to keep the air warm as it travels from the humidifier through the hose to the CPAP mask.
Not using the Heated Humidifier? The heated tube can connect to the ports on the air outlet on the side of the machine. In this configuration, the hose will not create heat and will act as a standard hose.
In addition to the 60 Series heated tube, a traditional CPAP hose can be used. Set the size of hose you will be using in the Set Up Menu under "Tubing Type". Select either 15 mm or 22 mm depending on the size tube being used.

Example of Auto-Trial and CPAP-Check Modes:
In this example, the PR System One 60 Series Pro is set in Auto-Trial mode for 5 nights of use with an ideal pressure of 10cm H2O. During this time the machine functions as an auto-titrating machine, adjusting the pressure on a breath by breath basis, all night long. At the end of 5 nights of use the Auto-Trial mode ends. Now, the machine moves into the CPAP-Check mode of operation delivering a pressure of 10cm H2O. After 30 hours of use the CPAP-Check mode data indicates the pressure needs to be raised. The machine will automatically change the pressure to 11cm H2O.
Alternately, if the pressure needs to be lowered, the machine will automatically change to 9cm H2O. If no pressure adjustment is needed, the pressure will stay at 10cm H2O. The CPAP-Check mode will continue every 30 hours to monitor and adjust the pressure as needed. Please Note: The pressure will not raise or lower more than 3cm H2O from the original pressure. Using the original pressure of 10cm H2O, the machine will not drop the pressure below 7cm H2O or raise the pressure above 13cm H2O.
If the machine is placed back into Auto-Trial mode mode to determine a new ideal pressure, the CPAP-Check mode would monitor and change pressure as needed every 30 hours, staying within 3 cm/H2O of the new ideal pressure.
The machine does not need to be set on CPAP-Check as it will automatically move into the mode following Auto-Trial. It can be placed on straight CPAP mode, so no pressure checks or adjustments are made.
What is the Respiratory Distress Index? The RDI is used to determine the severity of sleep apnea. The index value is determined based on the number of apneas, hypopneas, and respiratory event-related arousal (RERAs) that occur per hour of sleep.
Power Options
Universal Power
This system operates automatically between 110v and 240v AC. When traveling either inside or outside the USA, there are no switches to switch or fuses to change. The machine will automatically sense what voltage is needed and set itself to run on that power.
When traveling outside the US, the user will need to adapt the plug that goes into the wall to fit the style of outlet socket that is being used. This is simply done with a World Traveler Power Adapter Plug kit. This is the same type of plug adapter that would be used with a hair dryer or an electric shaver.
Optional DC Cable
The machine can operate using DC Power using the Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines. This cord is compatible ONLY with PR System One 60 Series Machines. The 12 Volt DC Power Cord (connects CPAP to cigarette lighter socket) used with other PR System One machines IS NOT compatible with PR System One 60 Series Machines.
Freedom Travel Battery Pack for CPAP Machines
Weighing in at only 1.7 pounds the Freedom Battery is a terrific option for travel. Plus, the Freedom comes with a DC cable and connector peg suitable for use with the PR System One 60 Series Pro, so no need to purchase a separate DC cable. This lithium ion battery meets UN Manual Test and Criteria requirements for travel.
Respironics Battery Kit for PR System One 60 Series Machines
This portable battery pack is an external lead acid battery that is the ultimate in power, portability and convenience. This battery kit comes with the Respironics Battery Pack and the Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines.
Respironics Lithium Ion Travel Battery Kit
The Respironics Lithium Ion Travel Battery Kit is intended for use with 50 Series, 60 Series, and DreamStation machines. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) mode is designed to help the battery kick in automatically if AC power fails. This mode ensures power is never lost to the CPAP machine, even after power from the outlet is disconnected. When AC power is available again, the battery will be bypassed, and AC will resume powering the machine. The battery weighs 2.25 lbs and is FAA approved for use on flights. The kit includes a travel case, device cord, and 50 Series adapters used to connect the machine to the battery as well as connect the battery to the power supply for charging. This kit does not include a power supply as it is designed to operate from the machine's power supply.
The manufacturer states the Respironics battery has a run time of 14 hours with a pressure of 10cm H20 or lower, excluding a heated tube humidifier.
