Safety Information 19
• Before being used again on another patient, all parts that come into contact with
respiratory gas must be hygienically prepared.
•
Equipment which is not part of the respiratory therapy system must not be con-
nected. Otherwise it can lead to functional deficiency or device failure.
• The device must not be steam-sterilized in an autoclave.
•
Filters and other parts that are connected to the patient must be regularly replaced.
Dispose of the replaced parts according to the regulations for used medical
material and/or the local environmental protection rules.
•
Any modification to the device poses a threat to its serviceability and is not permitted.
• Only use masks that have been prescribed for the treatment by a physician.
• Observe the mask manufacturer’s instructions for use.
• The mask must not be worn after the therapy device is switched off because this
could lead to breathing in air that has already been exhaled. The air outlet openings
in the mask must always be free, so that the CO
2
-laden exhaled air can escape.
•
The mask may only be used after instruction by a qualified medical person. In
particular, the taking of medicines and possible contraindications and side effects
associated with the use of the mask should be clarified.
• An incorrectly fitting mask will affect the proper operation and the success of the
therapy. The mask fit should be checked using the mask test function.
•
Unless specified otherwise, the mask and therapy tube must only be used by
one patient.
• The operating, transport and storage conditions must be observed.
•
At temperatures below +5°C and over +40°C, the function of the device may
be impaired.
•
The power supply unit can reach a surface temperature of up to 57°C during
operation. Therefore, do not touch the power supply unit for longer than 1 minute
to avoid burning your skin.
•
Ensure that small parts of the respiratory therapy system are kept out of the reach
of children and animals.
