•
Follow the instructions for use for your breathing mask.
•
Follow the section entitled “6. Hygiene treatment” on page 29 to pre-
vent an infection or bacterial contamination.
•
If the therapy device is intended for use by several patients, a bacteria fil-
ter should be used to protect against infections. This is put in between
the breathing tube with click adapter and the device outlet port. If the
therapy device is to be used for a different patient without using a bac-
teria filter, you must subject the device to a hygiene treatment before-
hand. This must be performed by the manufacturer or by an authorized
specialist dealer.

Do not transport the therapy device with the respiratory air humidifier attached,
otherwise residual water from the respiratory air humidifier may run into the therapy
device and damage it if it is tilted.

If third-party items are used, functional failures and restricted fitness for
use may result. Biocompatibility requirements may also not be met.
Please note that in these cases, any claim under warranty and liability will
be void if neither the accessories nor genuine replacement parts recom-
mended in the instructions for use are used.
