S9 WARNINGS
•
Do not use your S9 if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in performance.
•
Only ResMed air tubing and accessories should be used with the device. A different type of air
tubing or accessory may alter the pressure you actually receive, reducing the effectiveness of
your treatment.
•
Blocking the air tubing and/or air inlet of the S9 while in operation could lead to overheating of
the device.
•
If your clinician has told you to use the SD card to update the settings on your device and the
"Settings updated successfully" message does not appear, contact your clinician immediately.
•
A patient should not connect a device to the module connector port unless instructed to do so
by their health care provider or physician. Only ResMed products are designed to be connected
to the module connector port. Connecting other devices could result in injury, or damage to the
S9 device.
•
This S9 device should only be used with masks (and connectors
by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the device is turned
on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure that the device is blowing air. The vent hole or holes
associated with the mask should never be blocked.
Explanation: Your S9 is intended to be used with special masks (or connectors) which have
vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on and
functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent
holes. However, when the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through
the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than
several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most models of
S9 devices.

fault conditions, pressures up to 40 cm H
•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the bilevel device is not operating, so that unused oxygen
does not accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.
