•
The performance of the respiratory humidifier may change if the device
is operated outside the permitted ambient temperatures.
•
Please also see the instructions for use for your breathing mask.
•
Please observe Section “6. Hygiene treatment” on page 28 to prevent
infection or bacterial contamination.
•
If the SOMNO
vent
CR is intended for use by several patients, a bacteria
filter should be used to protect against infections. It is inserted between
the breathing tube with adapter and the device outlet port. If the device
is to be used for another patient without a bacteria filter being used,it
must be subjected to a hygiene treatment beforehand. This should be
performed by the manufacturer, Weinmann, or an authorized dealer.

Caution!
Do not transport the SOMNO
vent
CR with the respiratory humidifier fitted. If the
device rests at an angle, residual water from the respiratory humidifier may run into
the SOMNO
vent
CR and damage it.
Accessories/replacement parts
Caution!
•
If third-party items are used, functional failures may occur and fitness for
use may be restricted. Biocompatibility requirements may also not be
met. Please note that in such cases, any claim under warranty and liability
will be voided if neither the accessories nor genuine replacement parts
recommended in the instructions for use are used.

authorization by the manufacturer, Weinmann. Using unauthorized
masks jeopardizes the success of therapy.

content
in the exhalation air may impede your breathing and there is a risk of
suffocation.
