Intended Use
INTENDED USE
The TREND II is intended for treating breathing disfunc-
tion especially for nighttime sleep apnea in patients
with a weight of 30 kg and higher.
The device generates a continuous positive airway
pressure in order to keep the upper respiratory tract
unobstructed.
The device is not suitable for being used with patients
who need arti
fi
cial respiration. This therapy device is
no life-preserving system.
The treatment pressure is applied through a breathing
mask. This breathing mask must be provided with an
exhalation valve in order to ensure that the exhaled air
is discharged. Do not wear the breathing mask while
the therapy device is turned off because, otherwise, you
might rebreathe exhaled air. Please also follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions on use of the breathing mask.
