2.8 Usage of the HA 01 Humidifier
• The HA 01 humidifier and the iSleep 20 are intended for non-invasive use.
• When using an external humidifier, it should be located lower than the
iSleep 20 and the patient to prevent personal injury from accidental spill-
age.
• When using the HA 01 humidifier, the iSleep 20 should be located lower
than the patient to prevent personal injury from accidental spillage.
• If a room humidifier is used, place it at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from the
iSleep 20.
• Periodically check for moisture in the patient circuit. When present,
remove the moisture. Before attempting to dry the circuit, disconnect it
from the iSleep 20 to ensure no water back-flow into the iSleep 20. The fre-
quency at which these checks must be performed will depend on the
patient’s own condition and the device used. This should be assessed on an
individual basis in accordance with the patient’s needs.
• If the condensation in the patient circuit is excessive, the use of a heated
humidifier may require the installation of a water trap in the circuit. The
water trap prevents any condensated water in the patient circuit from run-
ning into the patient airways and causing personal injury.
• The HA 01 humidifier shall be disconnected from the iSleep 20 during
transportation.
• The iSleep 20 shall not be placed in the bag with the HA 01 humidifier
attached.
