2 Safety instructions
Warnings and cautions
For your safety, please observe the following
points:
Warning
• Please read these instructions for use very
carefully. They are a part of the product
and should be available at all times.
• This mask should be used only with CPAP
or bi-level systems recommended by your
physician or respiratory therapist.
• If oxygen is used with the CPAP or bi-level
system, the oxygen flow must be turned off
when the CPAP or bi-level machine is not
operating.
Explanation of the warning
: When the
CPAP or bi-level device is not in
operation, and the oxygen flow is left on,
oxygen delivered into the CPAP tubing
may accumulate within the CPAP or bi-
level machine enclosure. Oxygen
accumulated in the CPAP or bi-level
machine enclosure will create a risk of
fire. This warning applies to most types of
CPAP or bi-level systems.
