3.2 How to use the
KnightStar 330
with
supplemental oxygen
If your physician determines that you need supplemental
oxygen, an oxygen source may be connected to the mask
if it is equipped with an oxygen port, or to the device,
using a special oxygen adapter available from your
homecare provider.
Perform the following steps if you are using a mask or
interface equipped with an oxygen port:
1. Connect the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen port
on the interface.
2. Turn the
KnightStar 330
on
before
turning on the
oxygen supply.
3. Turn on the oxygen flow at the desired setting.
4. When turning off the
KnightStar 330
, turn off the
oxygen supply
first,
then turn off the
KnightStar 330
.
To use supplemental oxygen with the
KnightStar 330
oxygen adapter:
1. Connect the oxygen adapter to the
KnightStar 330
filter
outlet (refer to Figure 3-1).
2. Connect the oxygen supply tubing to the small port
on the oxygen adapter, as shown in Figure 3-1.
3. Turn the
KnightStar 330
on
before
turning on the
oxygen supply.
Patients who receive supplemental oxygen
should be aware that hazards exist with
combustible materials and flames or sparks in
the presence of oxygen. Oxygen vigorously
accelerates combustion. Do not smoke or
have an open flame in the presence of
oxygen.
