Z1 Warnings and Cautions
WARNINGS:
• Read the entire User Guide before using your Z1. Consult your health care provider
if there is any part of this User Guide you do not understand.
• Use your Z1 and its accessories only for their intended use as described in this User
Guide and as directed by your physician, clinician or health care provider.
• The Z1 is not approved for use with oxygen. Do not use supplemental oxygen or
any other type of supplementary gas with your Z1. Do not connect supplementary
oxygen or other gas to any accessory or patient interface which is connected to
your Z1.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of your Z1 or your Z1
is making unusual or harsh sounds, or if the Z1 or Power Supply are dropped or
mishandled, discontinue use and contact Breas or your health care provider.
• If your Z1, Power Supply, PowerShell or Battery is dropped or mishandled, or if
water is spilled into an enclosure, or if an enclosure is broken, discontinue use and
contact Breas or your health care provider.
• A mask is not provided. Your Z1 should only be used with masks and connectors
recommended by your physician, clinician, respiratory therapist or health care
provider.
• Your Z1 is intended to be used with CPAP masks (or connectors) which have vent
holes to allow continuous ow of air out of the mask. When your Z1 is turned on
and functioning properly, new air from the Z1 ushes the exhaled air out through
the mask vent holes. However, when the Z1 is not operating properly (e.g., at low
pressure) or the Z1 is o, insucient fresh air may be provided through the mask
and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing exhaled air for longer than
several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to suocation. This applies to
most CPAP devices. Your health care provider will recommend a mask and air
tubing to suit your needs. The Z1 supports several CPAP mask types including nasal
masks, full face masks, and nasal prongs that meet the ISO 17510-2 standard.
• Do not use your Z1 with a mask unless the Z1 is turned on. Once the mask is tted,
conrm that air is owing from your Z1.
• Do not block the vent hole or holes in the mask. Follow the mask manufacturer’s
instructions for proper use of the mask.
• In the event of a power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask
immediately.
• At low pressures some exhaled gases may remain in the mask.
• Electrocution Hazard – Your Z1 is an electrical device, and as such, you should
not immerse your Z1, Power Supply, PowerShell or Battery in water. Always unplug
your Z1 and its accessories before cleaning (and clean only as instructed in this User
Guide) and make sure your Z1 and its accessories are dry before plugging back in.
