9. Do not use the product in patients
with obstructive lung disease, unless
a medical assessment indicates the
necessity, as increased airway pressure
can increase airway irritation and
inflammatory response.
10. Do not use the product in patients
with a medical condition causing
elevated peak and mean airway
pressures, unless a medical assessment
indicates the necessity, as increased
PEEP can lead to barotrauma.
11. Do not use the product in patients
suffering from conditions such as
cardiogenic shock, myocardial infarction,
left heart failure, hypovolaermia or
a combination of these conditions
resulting in haemodynamic instability
unless a medical assessment indicates
the necessity, as high PEEP can lead
to reduced cardiac output and
systemic perfusion.
12. Do not use a product with decreased
performance unless a medical assessment
indicates the necessity as decreased
performance can lead to hypoxia.
13. When using supplemental oxygen,
do not allow smoking or use of device
near open flame, oil, grease, other
flammable chemicals or equipment and
tools, which cause sparks, due to the risk
of fire and/or explosion.
