WARNING
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to
remove the mask by themselves. This mask is not for use on patients with impaired
laryngeal reflexes or other conditions predisposing to aspiration in the event of
regurgitation or vomiting.
• To avoid affecting the safety and quality of therapy, the mask vents must be kept clear
to protect against rebreathing. Regularly inspect the vents to ensure they are kept
clean, undamaged and clear of blockages.
• The mask contains specific safety features with the supplied elbow (containing the
valve and vent assembly) to ensure safe and functional usage. Do not use the mask if
these features are damaged or missing.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted,
ensure the device is blowing air to reduce risk of rebreathing exhaled air.
• Oxygen supports combustion and must only be used in well ventilated rooms. Do not
use oxygen while smoking or near an open flame. Oxygen flow must be turned off
when the device is not operating.
• At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration varies,
depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of
application and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP or bi-level
devices.
• The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician or respiratory
therapist to check that they are compatible with the CPAP or bi-level device. If used
outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the
mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or
variation in the rate of leak, may affect the CPAP or bi-level device function.
• Discontinue using the mask if you have ANY adverse reaction and consult your
physician or sleep therapist.
• Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental
condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
• The F30 line of full face CPAP masks are not intended to be used simultaneously with
nebulizer medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube.
