PAP, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance
of this equipment could result.
y
Interconnection of this equipment to other equipment which is not the supply one is forbidden.
y
Nebulisation or humidification can increase the resistance of breathing system filters and the
operator must monitor the breathing system filter frequently for increased resistance and blockage
to ensure the delivery of the therapeutic pressure.
y
Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or permits
spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
y
Keep device far away from the following environments, e.g. magnetic fields, electromagnetic
fields, external electrical influences, electrostatic discharge, pressure or variations in pressure,
acceleration, thermal ignition sources and so on.
y
Do not block the several holes in your mask, otherwise it will result strangulation.
y
Humidity performance of the device can be compromised when used outside the specified ambient
temperature range or humidity range.
y

Using only YUWELL part and accessories with device. Non-YUWELL parts may reduce
effectiveness of the treatment and/or damage the device.
y
Use only vented masks recommended by YUWELL or by your doctor with this device. Fitting the
mask without the device blowing air can result in rebreathing of exhaled air. Make sure that the
mask vent holes are kept clear and unblocked to maintain the flow of the fresh air into the mask.
y
Do not use bleach, chlorine, aromatic-based solutions, moisturizing or antibacterial soaps or
scented oil to clean the device, water tank or air tube. Otherwise it may cause damage and reduce
the life of these products.
y
If you use the humidifier, always place the device on a level surface lower than your head to
prevent the mask and air tube from filling with water.
y
Leave the water tank to cool for ten minutes before handling to allow the water to cool and to make
sure that the water tank is not too hot to touch.
y
Make sure that the water tank is empty before transporting the device.
y
This equipment might not offer adequate protection to radio-frequency communication services.
The user might need to take mitigation measures, such as relocating or re-orienting the
equipment.
y
The proper placement and positioning of the mask on the face is critical to the consistent operation
of this equipment.
y
Not intended for use with patient whose upper airways have been bypassed.
y
The time required for the device to warm from the minimum storage temperature between uses
until the device is ready for its intended use when the ambient temperature is 20 ℃ is about 2
hours.
y
The time required for the device to cool from the maximum storage temperature between uses until
the device is ready for its intended use when the ambient temperature is 20℃ is about 2 hours.
y
This device is not intended for children, and patients who are physically or mentally deficient can’t
use the device without assistance or supervision.
