*Effective 3/17/2020, the HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will exercise enforcement discretion and waive penalties for HIPAA violations against healthcare providers that serve patients in good faith through everyday
communication technologies, such as FaceTime or Skype, during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency. Under this notice, however, Facebook™ Live, Twitch™, TikTok™ and similar video communication applications
are public-facing, and should not be used in the provision of telehealth by covered healthcare providers. Guidance is subject to change without notice. For further details, visit https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/

       We recognize the importance of educating patients on why they should treat their sleep apnea,
       and how it contributes to short-term and long-term health benefits.

       • If you’re already on the phone with the patient for mask selection, we suggest a brief
          conversation during this phone call to discuss the importance of treating sleep apnea.
       		     • Once the phone call is finished, we suggest sending a follow-up email
       			 reinforcing pre-reading/educational material before the scheduling/pre-equipment
       			 education (see email template on page 12).
       • If you’re not setting up a separate call to run through initial mask selection, we suggest sending
          the patient a follow-up email (template on page 12) offering pre-reading and educational material.

                                                                             Topics to cover:

       What to include in an optimal remote setup kit
       • With a variety of device and mask choices available to patients, we recommend including the following components for a remote setup to help optimize the
         patient experience and adjustment to therapy.
       • Auto-adjusting positive airway devices help adjust the pressure in response to changes in your patient’s upper airway patency, especially as pressure needs
         can vary and change over time. Clinical studies1-3 support the clinical outcomes of the AutoSet algorithm – citing the therapy, compliance and quality-of-life
         benefits associated with using AutoSet devices.

       Ensure the device is configured with the patient’s prescription and comfort settings prior to delivery.
       This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
       		 1. Unbox the device, plug it in and apply the settings before placing it in the shipping box.
       		 2. Use AirView to remotely apply the settings. Provide device number and serial number to your
       			 team to board the patient into your patient management system and apply the settings
       			 via AirView. Note that some device settings are not available to be set remotely using AirView.
       			Important note for ResMed AirCurve™ 10 ST and AirCurve 10 ST-A bilevel devices: require at
       			 least one therapy session to be run before they can accept a new prescription from AirView,

                               * As stated in our clinical and user guides, only distilled water should be used with a PAP humidifier for optimal operation. Distilled water has had most/all minerals removed from the

                     connect remotely, so ensure you have their phone number                       Because the patient is going to be working to build a new

                    		 • When troubleshooting any connection issues, learn what

                     Have equipment with you mirroring what the patient will have
                     during the setup and demonstrate how to use each piece.
                    		 • For instance, take time to assemble and put on the mask
                    			 so the patient has a clear understanding of what they need

       		          • Mask: If the patient has a full face mask, have them set their mask setting to full face.

       * As stated in our clinical and user guides, only distilled water should be used with the PAP humidifier for optimal operation. Distilled water has had most/all minerals removed from the water which
       would otherwise cause a mineral buildup in the humidifier tub. While the use of tap or bottled water may require more rigorous humidifier cleaning in the short term and excess mineral buildup in the tub
       over the long term, the use of tap or bottled water will not harm the therapy device or pose a risk to patients.                                                                                                         19
