Place the device on a firm, flat surface somewhere within easy reach of where you will use it. Make
sure the filter area on the back of the device is not blocked by bedding, curtains, or other items.
Air must flow freely around the device for the system to work properly. Make sure the device is
away from any heating or cooling equipment (e.g., forced air vents, radiators, air conditioners).

To use the system, you will need the following accessories in order to assemble the recommended
circuit:
• Respironics interface (e.g, nasal mask) with integrated exhalation port (or Respironics inter-
face with a separate exhalation device such as the Whisper Swivel® II)
• Respironics 6 ft. (1.83 m) flexible tubing (with optional swivel)
• Respironics headgear (for the patient interface)
Warning:
If the device is used by multiple persons (e.g., rental devices), a low-
resistance, main flow bacteria filter should be installed in-line between
the device and the circuit tubing to prevent contamination.
To connect your breathing circuit to the device, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the flexible tubing to the air outlet on the back of the device, as shown in Figure
3–2. You can use the optional, detachable swivel that is provided with your device and
already attached to the tubing (shown in Figure 3–2), or you can remove the swivel and con-
nect the tubing directly to the air outlet.
