tional environment.The mask is to be used on patients (>66lbs/30kg)
for whom CPAP or bi-level therapy has been prescribed.

Warnings:
This mask is not suitable for providing life•
support ventilation.
This mask is designed for use with CPAP•
or bi-level systems recommended by your
health care professional or respiratory
therapist. Do not wear this mask unless
the CPAP or bi-level system is turned on
and operating properly. Do not block or
try to seal the exhalation port. Explanation
of the Warning: CPAP systems are
intended to be used with special masks
with connectors which have vent holes
to allow continuous flow of air out of the
mask. When the CPAP machine is turned
on and functioning properly, new air from
the CPAP machine flushes the exhaled air
out through the attached mask exhalation
port. However, when the CPAP machine is
not operating, enough fresh air will not be
provided through the mask, and exhaled
air may be rebreathed. This warning
applies to most models of CPAP systems.
If oxygen is used with the device, the•
Warning
A warning indicates the

oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating.
Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation,
and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the
ventilator tubing may accumulate within the device enclosure.
Oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of
fire.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while•
smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled•
oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure
settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak
rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP and bi-level
machines.
Some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort.•
If this happens, discontinue use and contact your healthcare
professional.
At low CPAP or EPAP pressures, the flow through the exhalation•
port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing.
Some rebreathing may occur.
Hand wash prior to first use. Inspect the mask for damage or•
wear (cracking, crazing, tears, etc). Discard and replace any
components as necessary.
If an additional exhalation device is added to the patient circuit,•
you may need to adjust the pressure level to compensate for the
additional leak of the exhalation device.
