General Warnings and Cautions

A warning alerts you to possible injury.
The humidifier, including the associated tubing, is for single-patient use and must
•
not be re-used on another person. This is to avoid the risk of cross-infection.
Always place the humidifier device lower than the level of the patient. If it is placed
•
at or above the level of the patient, heated water may flow down the air tubing and
into the mask.
There exists the possibility that if the device is placed above the level of the patient
•
and is tipped over, or if the tubing is filled with condensate, the mask might fill with
water. The device should be placed below the level of the patient so that in the
event of the device being tipped over, the tubing and mask do not fill with water.
The humidifier should only be used with delivery tubes or accessories
•
recommended by ResMed. Connection of other delivery tubes or accessories could
result in injury, or damage to the device.
If liquids are inadvertently spilled into or on the humidifier, unplug the device from
•
the power outlet. Disconnect the humidifier from the flow generator and allow it to
drain and dry before using.
Do not operate the humidifier if the device has a damaged power cord.
•
Do not operate the humidifier if it is not working properly or if any part of it has been
•
dropped or damaged.
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
•
No perceptible heating effect may be felt at low heat settings, depending on the
•
ambient temperature.
Do not attempt to dismantle the humidifier. There are no user-serviceable parts
•
inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorised
service agent.
Do not drop or insert any object into any opening or tubes.
