2.4 Usage of Patient Circuit
2.5 Usage of Filters
• Only use the iSleep 20+ with a mask, patient tube and ventilation valve (if
applicable) recommended by Breas Medical AB and your health care pro-
fessional.
• Do not breathe in the connected patient circuit unless the iSleep 20+ is
turned on and operating properly.
• Do not use patient hoses or tubes made of electrically conductive or static
material.
• Patient connected parts and filter must be replaced regularly to ensure cor-
rect function of the iSleep 20+. All replaced parts must be disposed of
according to local environmental regulations regarding the disposal of used
equipment and parts.
• If the patient is using a full face mask (covering mouth and nose), the mask
must be equipped with a safety entrainment valve.
• Make sure that the ventilation holes in the mask or the adjoining ventilation
valve are never blocked or obstructed. These devices are used for ventilat-
ing the mask in order to prevent re-breathing of exhaled air. Re-breathing
of exhaled gases for longer than a few minutes can, in some circumstances,
lead to suffocation.
• At low CPAP pressures, the air flow through the ventilation holes in the
mask or the adjoining ventilation valve may be inadequate to clear all
exhaled gases from the mask. Some re-breathing may occur.
• Always use the iSleep 20+ with a patient air inlet filter installed. Only use
filters that are specified in this manual.
• Replace or clean the filters regularly to ensure correct function of the
iSleep 20+, especially when changing patient. Failure to replace or clean a
dirty filter may cause the iSleep 20+ to operate at higher temperatures than
intended.
• When operating the iSleep 20+, make sure that the air inlet and the filter is
not obstructed or occluded.
