WARNING
•The mask is not suitable for patients requiring life support ventilation.
•To avoid affecting the safety and quality of therapy, the mask vents must be kept clear
to protect against rebreathing. Regularly inspect the vents to ensure they are kept
clean, undamaged and clear of blockages.
•The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to
remove the mask by themselves. The mask may not be suitable for those prone to
aspiration.
•Regularly clean your mask to maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
•Visual criteria for product inspection: If there is any visible deterioration of a mask
component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.), the component should be discarded and
replaced.
•Only use compatible CPAP or bi-level therapy devices. The technical specifications of
the mask are provided for healthcare professionals to determine compatible devices.
Use with incompatible devices may affect the performance or safety of the mask.
•Discontinue using the mask if you have ANY adverse reaction and consult your
physician or sleep therapist.
•The mask is not intended to be used simultaneously with nebulizer medications that
are in the air path of the mask/tube.
•Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
•Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel device is not operating, so
that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk
of fire.
•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the
presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in well ventilated rooms.
•At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration varies,
depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of
application and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP or bilevel
devices.
CAUTION
•Remove all packaging before using the mask.
•Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental
condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
•When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin
redness or sores around the mask cushion.
