Warnings
• This mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.
• Hand wash prior to use. Inspect the mask for damage or wear (cracking, crazing, tears, etc). Discard and
replace any components as necessary.
• Some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort. If this happens, discontinue use and
contact your healthcare professional.
• Consult a physician or dentist if you encounter tooth, gum, or jaw soreness. Use of a mask may
aggravate an existing dental condition.
• Consult a physician if you experience the following symptoms while using the mask or after removing
it: Drying of the eyes, eye pain, eye infections, or blurred vision. Consult an ophthalmologist if
symptoms persist.
• Do not block or seal o the exhalation ports.
• Do not overtighten the headgear straps. Watch for signs of overtightening, such as excessive redness,
sores, or bulging skin around the edges of the mask. Loosen the headgear straps to alleviate problems.
• This mask is designed for use with CPAP or bi-level systems recommended by your health care
professional or respiratory therapist. Do not wear this mask unless the CPAP or bi-level system is turned
on and operating properly. Do not block or try to seal the exhalation port. Explanation of the
Warning: CPAP systems are intended to be used with special masks with connectors which have
vent holes to allow continuous ow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and
functioning properly, new air from the CPAP machine ushes the exhaled air out through the attached
mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP machine is not operating, enough fresh air will not be
provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. This warning applies to most models
of CPAP systems.
• If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen ow must be turned o when the device is not
operating. Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation, and the oxygen ow
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 re.
• At a xed ow rate of supplemental oxygen ow, 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.
