oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating.
explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation,
and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the
ventilator tubing may accumulate within the device enclosure.
oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of
fire.
•
oxygen supports combustion. oxygen should not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
•
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled
oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure
settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak
rate. this warning applies to most types of cPAP and bi-level
machines.
•
some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort.
If this happens, discontinue use and contact your healthcare
professional.
•
At low cPAP or ePAP pressures, the flow through the exhalation
port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing.
some rebreathing may occur.
•
Hand wash prior to first use. Inspect the mask for damage or
wear (cracking, crazing, tears, etc). Discard and replace any
components as necessary.
•
If an additional exhalation device is added to the patient circuit,
you may need to adjust the pressure level to compensate for the
additional leak of the exhalation device.
