1.3.1 WARNINGS

A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or the operator.

• is manual serves as a reference. e instructions in this manual are not intended to super

sede the health care professional’s instructions regarding the use of the device.

• The operator should read and understand this entire manual before using the device.

• is device is not intended for life support.

• e device should be used only with masks and connectors recommended by Respironics

or with those recommended by the health care professional or respiratory therapist. A mask

should not be used unless the device is turned on and operating properly. e exhalation

port(s) associated with the mask should never be blocked.

Explanation of the Warning: e device is intended to be used with special masks or con-

nectors that have exhalation ports to allow continuous ﬂow of air out of the mask. When the

device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device ﬂushes the exhaled air

out through the mask exhalation port. However, when the device is not operating, enough

fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. Re-

breathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to

suﬀocation.

• If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen ﬂow must be turned oﬀ when the device is not

in use.

Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation and the oxygen ﬂow is left

on, oxygen delivered into the tubing may accumulate within the device’s enclosure. Oxygen

accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of ﬁre.
