Warning:
The exhalation device (e.g., Whisper Swivel II) or exhalation port (on
masks with an integrated exhalation port) is designed to exhaust
CO

from the patient circuit. Do not block or seal the ports on the
exhalation device.
Warning:
If you are using a full face mask (i.e., a mask covering both your
mouth and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety
(entrainment) valve.
3. Attach the headgear to the mask. See the instructions that came with your headgear.
