• USA Only:
  - For multiple patient use, high-level disinfection protocol must be followed.

Warning:

• At low baseline pressure, the flow through the vent holes may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
• This mask should be used with the positive airway pressure device recommended by the manufacturer, your physician, or a respiratory therapist.
• The mask should not be used unless the positive airway pressure device is turned on and operating properly. The mask;s vent holes should never be blocked. The vent holes allow a continuous flow of air out of the mask.
• When the positive airway pressure device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask;s vent holes.
• When the positive airway pressure device is not operating, exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air can, in some circumstances, lead to suffocation.
• This warning applies to most models of nasal positive airway pressure devices and masks.
• If oxygen is used with this CPAP mask, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP machine is not operating.
• When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate within the CPAP machine enclosure.
• Oxygen accumulated in the CPAP device enclosure will create a risk of fire.
• No smoking or open flames such as candles may be used when oxygen is in use.
• Consult manufacturer for proper O2 enrichment tubing.
• Do not use the mask with baseline pressure less than 4 cm H2 O or greater than 20 cm H2 O.
• If skin irritation or any other adverse reaction develops, discontinue use and contact your health-care professional
