1. Warnings and cautions
Warning
• Do not maintain the device while it is in use, otherwise it may lead to unacceptable risk.
• Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer or open this device by
yourself, contact your provider or Yuwell when the device need to be repaired.
• This device cannot be used for life support. It may be shut down by turning off the electricity, but
no unacceptable risk will happen.
• The device can't be used in the environment where the air is mixed with ammable anesthetic
gases or nitrous oxide gases. (Non-AP and Non-APG series PAP)
• The sources of oxygen must be located more than 1 m from the device to avoid the risk of re
and burns.
• Supplemental oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open ame.
• Always make sure that the device is turned on and airow generated before the oxygen supply
is turned on. Always turn the oxygen supply off before the device is turned off, so that unused
oxygen will not accumulate within the device enclosure or create a risk of re.
• Make sure that you arrange the cables and heated tubing so that they will not twist around the
head or neck. Otherwise it may result in strangulation.
• If you notice any unexplained change in the performance of the device, if it is making unusual
sounds, if the device or the power supply are dropped or mishandled, or if the enclosure is
broken, discontinue use and power off the equipment, then contact your provider or Yuwell.
• Do not place the device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over the
power cord.
• Do not block the heated tubing and/or air inlet of the device while in operation otherwise it could
cause overheating of the device.
• Keep the area around the device dry, clean and clear of anything (e.g. clothes, bedding, lint,
dust or direct sunlight) that could block the air inlet, cover the power supply unit, affect patients’
breathing or reduce the life of device.
• Place the device on the stable table. Placing device on the soft, out of flatness surface is
forbidden.
• Keep the device far away from water.
• Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.
• Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
• Beware of electrocution. Do not immerse the device, power supply or power cord in water. If
liquids are spilled into or onto the device. Unplug the device and let the parts dry naturally and
contact your provider or Yuwell.
• Always unplug the device before cleaning and make sure that all parts are dry before plugging it
back in.
• This device cannot be used for multiple patients.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because
it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other
equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the
manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and
external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device,
including cables specied by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of
this equipment could result.
• Interconnection of this equipment to other equipment which is not the supply one is forbidden.
• Nebulisation or humidification can increase the resistance of breathing system filters and
the operator must monitor the breathing system lter frequently for increased resistance and
blockage to ensure the delivery of the therapeutic pressure.
• Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or permits
spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
• Keep device far away from the following environments, e.g. magnetic fields, electromagnetic
elds, external electrical inuences, electrostatic discharge, pressure or variations in pressure,
acceleration, thermal ignition sources and so on.
• Do not block the several holes in your mask, otherwise it will result in strangulation.
• Humidity performance of the device can be compromised when used outside the specified
ambient temperature range or humidity range.
• The performance of the device can be compromised when exposed to environment, for
example, electrocautery, electrosurgery, debrillation, X-ray(gamma radiation), infrared radiation,
conducted transient magnetic fields, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radiofrequency
interference.
• When the device is used near the children or disabled persons, the device must be supervised.
Do not let the children or disabled persons inhale or swallow small parts. Otherwise, it may result
in choking.
• Keep the area around the device dry, clean and clear of anything (eg, pets, pests or children)
that could affect the device hygiene, drop the device, and so on.
• The device is intended for single patient use only. Do not let others use it.
• Covering breathing tubes with a blanket or heating them in an incubator or with an overhead
heater can affect the quality of the therapy or injure the patient.
• Do not use the humidifier above an altitude of 3000 meters or outside a temperature of
+5℃~ 35℃. Using the humidier outside of this temperature range or above this altitude can
affect the humidier performance.
• Prevent disconnection of the tubing or tubing system during use, especially during ambulatory
use, only tubes in compliance with ISO 5367 or ISO 80601-2-74 should be used.
Caution
• Using only Yuwell part and accessories with device. Non-Yuwell parts may reduce effectiveness
of the treatment and/or damage the device.
• Use only vented masks recommended by Yuwell or by your doctor with this device. Fitting the
mask without the device blowing air can result in rebreathing of exhaled air. Make sure that the
mask vent holes are kept clear and unblocked to maintain the ow of the fresh air into the mask.
