Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel
device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not
accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of
fire.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used
while smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only use
oxygen in well ventilated rooms.
At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled
oxygen concentration varies, depending on the pressure
settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of application
and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP or
bilevel devices.
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for
your clinician to check that they are compatible with the
CPAP or bilevel device. If used outside specification or if
used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the
mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be
achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect
the CPAP or bilevel device function.
Discontinue using this mask if you have ANY adverse
reaction to the use of the mask, and consult your physician
or sleep therapist.
Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or
aggravate an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur,
consult your physician or dentist.
As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP
pressures.
Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for details on
settings and operational information.
Remove all packaging before using the mask.
Using your mask
When using your mask with ResMed CPAP or bilevel devices that
have mask setting options, refer to the Technical specifications
section in this user guide for mask selection options.
