SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN
WARNING-OXYGEN USE
•
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not smoke while using this device with supplemental oxygen. Do not use this device near hot objects,
volatile substances or sources of open flames.
•
Always turn on the CPAP device before turning on the oxygen source. Turn off the oxygen source before turning off the device. Never allow the oxygen source to run
continuously while connected to the device if the device is not in use. If the device is not being used, turn off the oxygen flow.
•
CPAP pressure must be set higher than 8 cmH2O for supplemental oxygen use to prevent patient breathing pattern from forcing oxygen back into the CPAP.
•
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary depending on the pressure setting, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate.
This warning applies to most types of CPAP devices.
CAUTION
•
Oxygen is a prescribed gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.
•
The flow setting of the oxygen source must be specified by a physician.
•
Maximum oxygen pressure is 50 psi. Maximum oxygen flow rate is 10 lpm.
If your physician prescribed supplemental oxygen it can be added one of two ways:
1. Place optional oxygen
2. Insert CPAP tubing
adapter into air supply port.
