Using Your Mask - ResMed Quattro Air NV Guia Del Usuario

•
This mask is not for use on patients with impaired laryngeal
reflexes or other conditions predisposing to aspiration in the
event of regurgitation or vomiting.
•
The mask should only be used with ventilators recommended by
a physician or respiratory therapist.
•
The mask should not be worn unless the ventilator system is
turned on and operating properly.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
•
If oxygen is used with the ventilator, the oxygen flow must be
turned off when the ventilator is not operating, so that unused
oxygen does not accumulate within the device enclosure and
create a risk of fire.
•
At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow (if used), the inhaled
oxygen concentration varies depending on the pressure settings,
patient breathing pattern, mask size selection and leak rate.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in
well ventilated rooms.
•
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your
clinician to check that they are compatible with the ventilator. If
used outside specification or if used with incompatible devices,
the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective, optimum
therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of
leak, may affect the ventilator function.
•
Discontinue using this mask if you have ANY adverse reaction to
the use of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep therapist.
•
Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate
an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your
physician or dentist.
•
Refer to your ventilator manual for details on settings and
operational information.
•
Remove all packaging before using the mask.
Note: For any serious incidents that occur in relation to this device, these
should be reported to ResMed and the competent authority in your
country.
