• The Transcend EZEX must be set up and adjusted by a trained provider before being used for
therapy ramp and pressure.
• The air temperature produced by this device can be as much as 10ºF higher than the temperature
of the room. Exercise caution if the room temperature is warmer than 90ºF (32ºC).
• Do not block or otherwise obstruct the exhalation ports of the interface. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions included with your interface.
• This equipment is not suitable for use with oxygen or in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air or oxygen, or with nitrous oxide.
• The Transcend EZEX is only to be used with the supplied or recommended accessories. Use of
accessories not recommended may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of the PAP system and may be potentially unsafe.
• The Transcend EZEX is not defibrillation proof.
• Do not attempt to sterilize Transcend EZEX.
• If the device is to be used by multiple patients a main flow bacteria filter should be installed in-line
between the device and the breathing circuit tubing to prevent contamination.
• The device should be used only with masks and connectors recommended by Somnetics or a
health care professional. A mask should not be used unless the device is turned on and is
properly delivering ramp or therapy pressure. The exhalation port(s) associated with the mask
should never be blocked. Explanation of the Warning: The device is intended to be used with
masks or connectors specifically designed to have exhalation ports to allow continuous flow of air
out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly air flow from the device
flushes the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation port. When the device is not operating,
however, 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.

• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the device or any components.
• Do not attempt to sterilize the Transcend EZEX.
• Do not place cleaning materials, such as a cloth or liquid, into the device air inlet or air outlet
connector.
• The air supply tubing, mask assembly, headgear, and bacterial/viral filters should be discarded
after each patient use using standard institutional biohazard procedures. No attempt should be
made to clean, disinfect, or sterilize these components for multiple users. These components are
for single patient use. No attempt should be made to clean, disinfect or sterilize these
components. Manufacturer's instructions must be followed with regard to cleaning, disinfecting,
and re-use of patient interfaces (masks).
