Warnings:

• This mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.
• If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating. Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate within the device enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of fire.
• At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP and bi-level machines.
• At low CPAP or EPAP pressures the flow through the exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
• Some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort. If this happens, discontinue use and contact your healthcare professional.
• Consult a physician if any of the following symptoms occur: Unusual chest discomfort, shortness of breath, stomach distension, belching, severe headache, blurred vision, drying of the eyes, eye pain or eye infections.
• This mask should not be used on patients who are uncooperative, obtunded, unresponsive, or unable to remove the mask
