PEDIATRIC MASK
Thank you for choosing the Pixi Pediatric mask. Please read the entire manual
before use.
Intended use
The Pixi Pediatric mask channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from
a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device ('device').
The Pixi Pediatric mask is:
•
to be used by children aged between 2 and 7 for whom continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel therapy has been prescribed
•
intended for single-patient re-use in the home and single patient
re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.
WARNING
•
This mask is designed to provide a stable effective air seal with
minimum headgear tension. High headgear tension may lead to
facial deformities with long-term use. Regular clinician review
of growth patterns and the use of different styles of mask is
recommended.
•
The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients
who are unable to remove the mask by themselves.
•
The mask may not be suitable for those predisposed to aspiration.
•
If the mask is prescribed for children with serious congenital
conditions or cognitive impairments, then using a device with
appropriate alarms is recommended. The correct operation of the
complete patient circuit, including alarms must be tested before
commencing therapy.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel device is
not operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within
the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.
•
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 vent holes must be kept clear and must not sit against the nose.
•
The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once
the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
