Intended Use
The ComfortFull 2 Full Face Mask is intended to provide an interface for
application of CPAP or bi-level therapy to patients. The mask is for single
patient use in the home or multi-patient use in the hospital/institutional
environment.The mask is to be used on patients (>66 lbs/30 kg) for whom
CPAP or bi-level therapy has been prescribed.
Important Note: An exhalation port is built into the ComfortFull 2 Full
Face Mask so a separate exhalation port is not required.
Caution: US federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of
a physician.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
5
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. Rebreathing of exhaled
air for longer than several minutes can, in some
circumstances, lead to suffocation.
If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen•
flow must be turned off when the machine 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
Warning:

of injury to the user
or operator

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 or bi-level machines.
Some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort. If this•
happens, discontinue use and contact your healthcare professional.
The patient’s physician should be contacted if the patient experiences the•
following symptoms while using the masks or after removing it: Unusual chest
discomfort, shortness of breath, stomach distension, belching, or sever headache;
drying of the eyes, eye pain, or eye infections; blurred vision. (Consult an
ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.)
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.
A minimum of 3 cm H•

O (hPa) must be maintained when using this mask.
This mask should not be used on patients who are uncooperative, obtunded,•
unresponsive, or unable to remove the mask.
This mask is not recommended if the patient is taking a prescription drug that•
may cause vomiting
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.
