SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN
Supplemental oxygen may be prescribed with nasal
CPAP for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
CAUTION– Oxygen is a prescription gas and should
only be administered under the supervision
of a physician.
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible
physical injury, do not smoke while using your
CPAP unit with supplemental oxygen. Do not
use near hot, sparking objects or open sources
of flame.
Always turn the CPAP unit on prior to turning
on the oxygen flow and turn off the oxygen
before turning the unit off.
1. Activate power switch and connect the optional
oxygen adapter (part #7353D-601) to the outlet
port of the unit. Always turn CPAP unit on
before the oxygen source and turn the oxygen
source off before turning off the CPAP unit.
2. Connect one end of the 22 mm diameter tubing
to the open end of the adapter and the other
end to the CPAP mask.
3. Oxygen may be injected into the air supply by
connecting one end of standard oxygen tubing to
the oxygen adapter and the other end to the
oxygen source Figure 7.
The flow setting of the oxygen source shall be
specified by a physician.
Equipment is not suitable for use in the pres-
ence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with
air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
NOTE– Equipment is suitable for use with oxygen if
prescribed by your physician.

CLEANING
To avoid electric shock, always unplug power
cord from wall outlet power source.
CAUTION– Never rinse or place the unit in water. Never
allow liquids to get into or around any of
the ports, switches, or air filter; doing so
will result in product damage.
Cabinet
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Wipe the cabinet with a clean, damp cloth and
mild dishwashing detergent every few days to keep
dust free Figure 8. Do not use alcohol or any alco-
hol-based solutions to clean the unit. These clean-
ing solutions may damage the plastic enclosure.
Allow the unit to dry completely before plug-
ging the unit into a power source.
Air-Inlet Filter
1. The air-inlet filter should be checked daily. The
filter is located in the rear of the unit Figure 9.
2. For weekly cleaning, remove the dirty foam filter
from the frame Figure 10.
3. Wash the filter in a solution of warm water and
dishwashing detergent and rinse with tap water.
Allow the filter to dry completely. If the filter
(part #8000D-602) is damaged, contact your home
medical equipment provider for a replacement.
4. Insert clean filter into housing Figure 11.
Mask, Headgear, and Tubing
CAUTION– Do not place mask, headgear, or tubing in
an automatic dishwasher. Some automatic
dishwashing detergents contain chemicals
that may damage these items. Also, do not
clean with alcohol or any alcohol-based
solutions as damage will result.
1. Remove the tubing and headgear from the mask.
2. Each of these items may be washed as often as
needed by using a solution of warm water and
dishwashing detergent. Wash item individually,
rinse with clean, warm tap water and allow to air
