Using the device with oxygen
enrichment (optional)
WARNING:

Always follow the instructions of the medical professionals or the Home Care Provider in case of using
oxygen. The source of oxygen should be placed more than one meter away from the device.

Do not smoke in the presence of oxygen.

Do not inject oxygen through the air inlet of the device.

Follow carefully the instructions for starting and stopping treatment.

If you are using oxygen, stop the oxygen flow when the device is not working. If the supply of oxygen is
maintained while the device is switched off, the oxygen delivered in the breathing tube can accumulate inside
the device and create a risk of fire.

The maximum flow rate of oxygen must not exceed 8 l/min.
CAUTION:
At a fixed oxygen flow, the concentration of inhaled oxygen varies depending on the settings of pressure, your
breathing pattern, type of mask and leakage rate. This applies to most Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
devices.
Installation of an oxygen adapter (optional)
In case of additional supply of oxygen, you definitely have to use a non-return valve equipped with a
specific valve to prevent the accumulation of oxygen in the device.
This valve must be fitted between the device and the breathing circuit.
Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for installation, cleaning and maintenance of the valve.
Starting and stopping of treatment
1. In order to prevent oxygen from entering the device, it is essential that it is in operation and that it
generates an air flow before opening the oxygen flow.
2. Similarly, in order to prevent oxygen from entering the device, it is essential to stop the flow of
oxygen before switching off the device.
