• If the device is to be used by multiple patients a main
flow bacteria filter should be installed in-line between
the device and the mask to prevent contamination.
• The device should be used only with masks and
connectors recommended by Transcend or a health
care professional. A mask should not be used unless the
device is turned on and is properly delivering ramp or
therapy pressure. The exhalation port(s) associated with
the mask should never be blocked. Explanation of the
Warning: The device is intended to be used with masks
or connectors specifically designed to have exhalation
ports to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask.
When the device is in operation, air flow from the
device flushes exhaled air out through the mask
exhalation port. When the device is not operating,
however, fresh air will not be provided through the mask
and exhaled air may be rebreathed.
• Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes
rebreathing of carbon dioxide or permits spontaneous
breathing can cause asphyxiation. Only use masks
which comply with ISO 17510.
• Do not position the equipment in bed. Covering
breathing tubes with a blanket or heating them can
affect the quality of therapy or injure the user.
• To prevent disconnection of the tubing during use only
Transcend supplied hoses or hoses in compliance with
ISO 5367 or ISO 80601-2-74 should be used.
• Strangulation hazard from power cord and air tube.
These can become wrapped around the neck and
STRANGLE. Keep power cord and air tube more than 3
