•
Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based solutions, moisturising or antibacterial soaps or scented oils
to clean the S9 or air tubing. These solutions may cause damage and reduce the life of these products.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
•
Explosion hazard – do not use in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics.
•
Only use the ResMed 90W or 30W power supply units.
•
Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not damaged.
•
Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
•
Do not drop or insert any object into any tubing or opening.
•
Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of your bed. It could twist around your head or neck while you

•
Advice contained in this manual should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician.
•
Do not use your S9 if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in performance.
•
Only ResMed air tubing and accessories should be used with these devices. A different type of air tubing or
accessory may alter the pressure you actually receive, reducing the effectiveness of your treatment.
•
Blocking the air tubing and/or air inlet of the S9 device while in operation could lead to overheating of the device.
•
If your clinician has told you to use the SD card to update the settings on your device and the "Settings updated
successfully" message does not appear, contact your clinician immediately.
•
A patient should not connect a device to the module connector port unless instructed to do so by their health care
provider or physician. Only ResMed products are designed to be connected to the module connector port.
Connecting other devices could result in injury, or damage to the S9 device.
•
These S9 devices should only be used with masks (and connectors
or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the S9 device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted,
ensure that the device is blowing air. The vent hole or holes associated with the mask should never be blocked.
Explanation: Your S9 is intended to be used with special masks (or connectors) which have vent holes to allow
continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the
device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. However, when the device is not operating,
insufficient fresh air will be provided through the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of
exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most
models of CPAP devices.
•
In the event of power failure
•
These S9 devices can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cm H
pressures up to 30 cm H
•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not
accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.
•
If the oxygen has been left on, turn off the device, then wait one hour before turning on the device again.
•
If damage to the tubing results in air leaking, do not continue using the air tubing.
•
Do not wash the air tubing in a washing machine or dishwasher.
CAUTIONS
•
Be careful not to place your device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over the power cord.
1. Ports may be incorporated into the mask or in connectors that are near the mask.
2. During partial (below rated minimum voltage) or total power failure, therapy pressures will not be delivered. When
power is restored, operation will recommence with no change to settings.
