Oxygen supply
For safety reasons (risk of fire) the direct introduction
of oxygen into the breathing hose or the mask with-
out any special protective device is not permitted.
However, the supply of up to 4 l/min oxygen to the
breathing mask is possible when using the
WM 24042 oxygen connection valve.
An oxygen concentrator (e.g. Oxymat), liquid oxygen or an oxygen cylinder with
a suitable pressure reducer may be used. This application must be prescribed by
the patient’s doctor.
To prevent oxygen entering the therapy unit, the CPAP 20e automatically gener-
ates a therapy pressure of at least 5 hPa when an oxygen connection valve is at-
tached. You must always follow the safety instructions for handling oxygen as
well as the operating instructions for the oxygen valve and the oxygen unit used.
