4 Before you start SEFAM S.Box
Before you start
Please read this manual carefully before using your SEFAM S.Box to understand the usage constraints
of the device.
Safety guidelines
WARNING:
Means in this manual that there is a risk of danger of injury or accident
to yourself or others.
The SEFAM S.Box can only be used on prescription. Under no circumstances should you change the
prescribed settings without the agreement of your healthcare professional.
Use the device only for the prescribed use as indicated in this manual. The advice given in this manual does
not replace the instructions of your healthcare professional.
This device is not intended to provide assistance to vital functions.
The device should be used only with the circuits, masks, fittings and accessories recommended by a
physician or provided by your Home Care Provider. Make sure that you have the user guide for each
accessory and read them carefully.
Contact your Home Care Provider if you think that the device or any of its accessories is damaged,
malfunctioning or has a defect.
Do not attempt to open or modify the device (risk of electric shock). The maintenance of this device is
entirely the responsibility of qualified personnel. Please contact your Home Care Provider.
Use only the power supply provided with the device.
If necessary, the device can be disconnected from the power supply by unplugging the power cord. Make
sure the power cord is easily accessible.
If the device is connected to a multi-socket outlet, do not connect the system to any other multi-socket
outlet or extension cable.
Place the device on a stable horizontal surface and in a clean and dry environment. Do not use the device if
it is adjacent or on another appliance.
Be careful not to accidentally or intentionally block the air outlet or any opening of the device or the
breathing circuit. Do not cover the device or place it too close to a wall. Do not put any liquid nor objects
into the air outlet as they may be propelled into the tube.
Keep the device and its power supply away from all sources of water. Use the device and its accessories
only if they are dry and in good working condition.
Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
If additional oxygen must be used, follow and respect carefully the safety instructions concerning the use
of oxygen.
Do not use the device, particularly the heated humidifier, in the presence of flammable vapors, flammable
anesthetic agents, independently or mixed with other gases (risk of explosion).
Once the machine is in operation and the mask is in place, make sure the unit produces an air flow. If not,
remove the mask immediately and contact your Home Care Provider.
Never block the leak vent of the mask which allows the continuous evacuation of the air and minimizes the
re-inhalation of carbon dioxide. If the device is in operation, the generated air flow pushes out the exhaled
air through the mask's vent hole. On the other hand, if the device is not in operation, there will not be
enough fresh air produced in the mask, and the exhaled air may be re-inhaled, which under certain
circumstances could lead to a phenomenon of suffocation in a few minutes.
If the device has a malfunction and the patient is equipped with a nasal mask, the resistance of the device
is low enough to allow the patient to exhale through the machine otherwise the patient can simply open
his/her mouth. If the patient is equipped with a face mask, the mask should have an anti-asphyxia valve.
Remove the mask in the event of a power outage or malfunction of the device.
Do not leave unnecessary lengths of tube on the bed. They could wrap around your head or neck when you
are asleep.
Keep the device away from children and pets.

SEFAM S.Box Before you start 5
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) recommends maintaining a minimum separation of
15 cm between a wireless phone and a pacemaker in order to avoid possible interference with the
pacemaker. The Bluetooth communication in the SEFAM S.Box device must be considered as a wireless
phone.
In case your device is equipped with a heated humidifier:
Precautions should be taken when using the heated humidifier to prevent the risk of water entering the
machine causing irreversible damage. Place the device on a horizontal and stable surface and be careful
not to tilt it.
The heated humidifier as well as the bottom of the humidifier chamber has a plate that can be hot in
normal operation. Avoid touching these parts.
The humidifier chamber must be cleaned before its first use or after any technical intervention, then
regularly following the procedure described in the paragraph "Cleaning and Maintenance " on page 28.
Always empty the humidifier chamber before moving or transporting the device.
