™
cause vomiting, have nocturnal vomiting, hiatal hernia or impaired cardiac sphincter function.
3) This mask may not be suitable for use on patients with the following conditions: glaucoma, recent eye surgery or dry
eyes.
Warnings
1) This mask has an integral leak port that provides a continuous leak path in the patient circuit. It is recommended
that the circuit have an additional exhalation device. You may need to adjust the pressure level and oxygen therapy
to compensate for the additional leak of the exhalation device.
2) This device is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.
3) Any unusual chest discomfort, shortness of breath, stomach distension, belching, severe headache, drying eyes, eye
pain, eye infections or blurred vision when receiving positive airway pressure or upon awakening should be reported to
the clinician.
4) To minimize risks of vomiting during sleep, avoid eating or drinking for three (3) hours before use.
5) Make sure the mask and headgear are the correct size for the patient's face. If excessive discomfort is experienced,
adjust the mask and head gear. If the discomfort continues, consider an alternative mask.
6) This CPAP mask should only be used with CPAP systems recommended by your physician or respiratory therapist. A
mask should not be used unless the CPAP system is turned ON and operating properly. The vent hole or holes
associated with the mask should never be blocked.
Explanation of the Warning: CPAP systems are intended to be used with special masks with connectors which
have vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and functioning
properly, new air from the CPAP machine flushes the exhaled air out through the attached mask exhalation port.
However, when the CPAP machine is not operating, enough fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and
exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances
lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most models of CPAP systems.
Before Use

• With the unit turned OFF, the entrainment valve flap should
be open, allowing user to breathe room air.
EN-Medical Device
• Turn CPAP or Bilevel unit ON.
• The flap valve should close, allowing the user to receive airflow from the unit.
