General Warnings; Consumer Warranty - ResMed AirFit N10 Mode D'emploi

GENERAL WARNINGS


The vent holes must be kept clear.

The mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel
devices recommended by a physician or respiratory
therapist.

The mask should not be used unless the device is
turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device
is blowing air.

Follow all precautions when using supplemental
oxygen.

Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or
bilevel device is not operating, so that unused oxygen
does not accumulate within the device enclosure and
create a risk of fire.

Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be
used while smoking or in the presence of an open
flame. Only use oxygen in well ventilated rooms.

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 bilevel devices.

The technical specifications of the mask are provided
for your clinician to check that they are compatible
with the CPAP or bilevel 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
bilevel device function.

Discontinue using this mask if you have ANY adverse
reaction to the use of the mask, 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.

As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low
CPAP pressures.

Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for
details on settings and operational information.

Remove all packaging before using the mask.

This mask must be disinfected and/or sterilised when
used between users.

Do not combine components from different mask
systems.

Always follow cleaning instructions and use mild
soap. Some cleaning products may damage the mask,
its parts and their function, or leave harmful residual
vapours that could be inhaled if not rinsed
thoroughly.
CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a mask component is
apparent (cracking, tears, etc), the mask component
should be discarded and replaced.
