Elmaslar Brand Respiratory Device Analysis Report

Device Identification

The product in the image is a medical device used for respiratory therapy. It is a desktop-type PAP (Positive Airway Pressure) device with an integrated humidifier unit. The device consists of a main motor unit and a water chamber integrated into the front.

Brand and Model

Upon detailed examination of the brand logo on the device’s front control panel, the product’s brand can be clearly identified as Elmaslar. Below the brand logo, within a blue stripe, the model series inscription SEP is discernible. The details in the image confirm that the device is one of the SEP series (e.g., a series like SEP 1000) respiratory devices manufactured by Elmaslar Medikal.

Authenticity

Upon examining the product’s panel design, button placement, logo print quality, and plastic casing structure, it is assessed that the product is an original Elmaslar production. No signs of aftermarket or counterfeit products were encountered.

Areas of Use

This device is generally used in the treatment of Sleep Apnea (OSAS) or in cases of respiratory failure such as COPD, to keep the patient’s airway open. It is suitable for home use. Thanks to its integrated humidifier, it ensures that the air delivered to the patient is humidified, preventing the drying of the respiratory tracts.

Quantity Information

The image shows 1 (one) main body of a respiratory device and 1 (one) water chamber attached to this body. No other parts are visible.

General Condition

The device is in used condition (second-hand). Its casing and control panel maintain their integrity, but there are signs of wear due to use. Particularly, residues around the humidifier output port indicate that the device has been used for a long time.

Physical Deformations and Cleaning

No physical breaks or cracks were observed on the device. However, there are significant details regarding cleaning and hygiene:

• Intense limescale and white residue accumulation is observed in the air outlet hose inlet (output port) located on the left side of the water chamber. This indicates that hard tap water may have been used in the device instead of distilled water.
• Water stains and dullness from use are present on the outer surface of the clear/smoked-colored water chamber.
• Dust accumulation is observed on and around the control panel.

Mechanical Components

The water chamber’s seating mechanism on the device appears robust. A gray locking or release latch is present on the upper part of the chamber. The humidifier chamber is in place. The air outlet port is exposed.

Electronic Components

There is a digital LCD screen on the front of the device; the screen is passive in the image as the device is turned off. On the panel, there are 4 directional buttons, a pink “Power/Start” button in the center, and a button in the bottom left, likely controlling the heater/humidifier setting or ramp. There is no excessive wear on the keypad.

Accessories

The following accessories, essential for the device’s operation, are not present in the image:

• Power cord or adapter.
• Hose (Circuit).
• Patient mask.
• Carrying bag or box.

The device’s air outlet port is open, and no cap or adapter is attached.

Battery Status

These types of home-use devices typically operate with mains electricity. It cannot be determined from the image whether there is an internal battery, but as it is not a portable model, it can be assumed that it requires an external power source.

Label Information

The main type label containing the device’s model number, serial number (SN), and technical power values is not present on the visible surfaces in the image (it is likely on the bottom of the device). Only the “ELMASLAR” brand and “SEP” series designation are present on the front panel.

Size and Compatibility

The device is desktop nightstand size. The air outlet port appears compatible with standard 22mm diameter respiratory hoses (CPAP hoses). It is a standard size suitable for adult use.

Potential Malfunction Risk

There is no clear evidence of a malfunction, such as a visible break or “error code,” on the device at this time. However, the intense limescale in the air outlet port indicates heavy use and neglect in the device’s water vapor production section. These residues:

• Pose a risk of narrowing or blocking the device’s airway.
• Suggest the possibility of liquid ingress into the device, which could create a risk of electronic board oxidation.

Therefore, using the device without undergoing detailed cleaning and technical inspection may be hygienically and technically risky.
