Getting started
The
KnightStar 330
has been prescribed to assist your
breathing by supplying air through a flexible tube (called
a breathing circuit) connected to a mask or nasal interface.
The regimen for the treatment of your disease is
prescribed by your physician. Your physician has
prescribed various settings that are preset into the
product. Unless otherwise directed by your physician, you
will not need to make any adjustments.
To begin using the
KnightStar 330
, you will need:
•
an interface (either nasal pillows or a mask)
•
a breathing circuit to deliver air flow to your nose
The
KnightStar 330
is designed to be used with standard
6-ft (1.8 m), or optional 8-ft (2.4 m) breathing circuits and
Puritan Bennett non-invasive interfaces. Breathing
circuits, nasal pillows, and masks are available from your
home care provider.
Never block the vent hole(s) in the interface.
With your physician or caregiver, review the
special information contained in Table 5-1,
“Patient and caregiver checklist,” on page 5-1
before using the
KnightStar 330.
