How to use when adding oxygen (optional)
WARNINGS
•
When using oxygen, always follow the instructions of the medical team or home care provider. The
source of oxygen should be placed at over one meter of the device.
•
Do not smoke in the presence of oxygen.
•
Do not inject oxygen into the device’s air intake.
•
Carefully follow the instructions for starting and stopping treatment.
•
If you use an oxygen concentrator or liquid oxygen unit, stop the flow of oxygen when the device is
not operating. If the oxygen concentrator remains on when the device is turned off, the oxygen
delivered into the patient circuit could accumulate inside the device, creating a fire hazard.
•
The maximum flow rate of oxygen must not exceed 12 l/min.
CAUTION
For a given oxygen flow, the concentration of oxygen inhaled varies as a feature of the pressure settings,
your breathing, the type of mask used and the leak rate. This precaution applies to most Continuous
Positive Airway Pressure devices.
Installation with an oxygen adapter (optional)
When using an additional oxygen supply, you must use a valve designed to prevent the accumulation of
oxygen in the device.
This valve must be installed between the device and the patient circuit.
Refer to manufacturer's instructions for installation, cleaning and maintenance of the valve.
Starting and stopping the treatment
1.
It is essential that the DreamStar™ device be turned on and generate air flow before the oxygen flow is
started so that oxygen does not accumulate in the device.
2.
Likewise, you must stop the oxygen flow before turning off the device so that oxygen does not
accumulate in the device.
