Warnings
⚫
The mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.
⚫
The mask is designed for use with CPAP or bi-level systems with active-exhaust-valve recommended by your health
care professional or respiratory therapist. Do not wear this mask unless the CPAP or bi-level system is turned on and
operating properly. Do not block or try to seal the active-exhaust-valve. Explanation of the Warning: CPAP systems are
intended to be used with special masks with connectors which have active-exhaust-valve to allow continuous flow of
air out of the mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the CPAP machine
flushes the exhaled air out through the attached active-exhaust-valve. However, when the CPAP machine is not
operation, enough fresh air will not be provided through the mask ,and exhaled air may be rebreathed .This warning
applies to most models of CPAP system .
⚫
If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating. Explanation of
the warning: when the device is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator
tubing may accumulate within the device enclosed. Oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of
fire.
⚫
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
⚫
At a fixed flow rated of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the
pressure setting, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning applies to most types CPAP
and bi-level machines.
⚫
Some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort. If this happens, discontinue use and contact your
healthcare professional.

after removing it: Unusual chest discomfort, shortness of breath, stomach distension, belching, or sever headache;
drying of the eyes, eye pain, or eye infections; blurred vision.(Consult an ophthalmologist if symptoms persist.)
⚫
At low CPAP or EPAP pressure, the flow through the active-exhaust-valve may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas
from the tubing .some rebreathing may occur.
⚫
This mask should not be used for patients who are uncooperative, obtunded, unresponsive, or unable to remove the
mask.
⚫
This mask is not recommended for patients who are taking a prescription drug that may cause vomiting.
⚫
If an additional exhalation device is added to the patient circuit, you may need to adjust the pressure level to
compensate for the additional leak of the exhalation device.
