THE BREATHE PILLOWS INTERFACE™
Before using the Breathe Pillows Interface™, visually inspect it for damage.
CAUTION:
Do not use a Breathe Pillows Interface™ that is cracked, odorous, broken, or kinked. If a damaged interface is
used, the patient may not receive adequate respiratory therapy.
The Breathe Pillows Interface™ comes in four sizes: extra small, small, medium, and large.
NOTE:
The interface assembly is packaged clean but not sterile. The Breathe Pillows Interface™ does not need to
be cleaned or sterilized prior to first use.

WARNING:
• Properly secure the patient interface to the face and route tubing around the ears to avoid strangulation.
• Breathe interfaces are designed for single-patient use. To prevent risk of cross-contamination use a new
Breathe Pillows Interface™ for each new patient.
• The interface, source gas supply hose, and power cords should be positioned to avoid restricting movement,
causing a tripping hazard, or posing a strangulation risk.
CAUTION:
Breathe Technologies recommends a 30-day replacement schedule for the Breathe Pillows Interface™.
TIP:
When the interface is in use, periodically check that it is positioned correctly and make adjustments as required. If
a patient’s skin becomes irritated, replace or discontinue using the interface.
