HC230 SERIES
HUMIDIFIED CPAP SYSTEMS
The HC230 series are a range of CPAP systems
designed for use in the home for the treatment
of OSA.
For further assistance, please contact your local
F&P office – see reverse for addresses. Please
keep this manual for future reference.
English
2. WARNINGS
PLEASE NOTE:- This manual refers to the HC230 Series CPAP unit
as "the device".
1. The device should only be used with masks, connectors and
delivery tubes recommended by Fisher & Paykel
Healthcare, or by your physician or respiratory therapist.
2. Never operate the device if:
a) it has a damaged power cord or plug, b) the tube has
been damaged with holes, tears or kinks, c) it has been
dropped or damaged, d) it has been dropped into water,
e) it is not working properly, f) it is connected to a PC
during CPAP treatment.
Return the device to an authorised service center for
examination and repair.
3. Do not use the device when the room temperature exceeds
35°C (95°F) as this may lead to an elevated airflow
temperature which may give rise to an irritation of the airways.
4. Ensure an air filter is fitted when operating your unit.
5. Remove the humidification chamber before filling.
6. Do not fill the chamber with boiling water.
7. When handling the device with chamber and water avoid
tilting the machine to prevent any chance of water entering
the unit enclosure.
8. Place your device on a level surface lower than your head
height to prevent water entering the respiratory tubing
should the device be knocked over.
9. Do not store or use your device where it can fall or be
pulled into water. If water has entered the unit enclosure,
disconnect the power cord and discontinue use. Seek
advice from your homecare provider.
10. Never block the air openings of the device or place it on a
soft surface such as a bed or couch, where the filter area
may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair or
the like.
11. Ensure that the unit is dry before plugging into the power
socket.
12. A mask should not be used unless the device is switched
on, and operating properly. The vent hole(s) associated with
the mask should never be blocked.
13. Due to the operating temperature of the heater plate,
avoid making contact to the exposed heater plate or
chamber base.
14. At low CPAP pressures, the flow through the mask may be
insufficient to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing, and
consequently some re-breathing may occur.
15. Adjusting the pressure control can result in ineffective
therapy. The pressure control must only be adjusted by a
healthcare professional.
16. Never drop or insert any object into any opening or tube.
17. Always switch off the device and unplug the power cord
from the power socket before cleaning.
18. Empty all the water from the chamber before transporting
your device.
19. Refer all maintenance to qualified service personnel except
as outlined in this manual.
* Only applicable to integrated CPAP devices
1. SYMBOL DEFINITIONS
3. OXYGEN USE WARNINGS
If supplemental oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating. This
ensures that oxygen will not flow through the tube and accumulate in the device enclosure.
•
The device should be located in a position where ventilation around the device is not restricted.
•
It is recommended that supplemental oxygen be administered at the mask.
•
Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
•
The use of oxygen in therapy requires that special care be taken to reduce the risk of fire. Any materials which will burn in air
and some that will not are easily ignited and burn rapidly in high concentrations of oxygen. Accordingly, for safety it is
necessary that all sources of ignition be kept away from the product and preferably out of the room in which it is being used.
•
A spontaneous and violent ignition may occur if oil, grease or greasy substances come in contact with oxygen under pressure.
These substances must be kept away from oxygen regulators, cylinder valves, tubing and connections, and all other oxygen
equipment.
•
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 leak rate.
4. INTENDED USE
The device is used to assist with patient breathing while sleeping, for the purpose of treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
This is done by the delivery of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in order to prevent airway obstruction. The addition
of heated respiratory humidification to the device relieves the drying and irritating effects on the patient airways which usually
arises from use of a CPAP system. The CPAP device is for use on adult patients at home or in the sleep lab. Please refer to the
HC230-Series Product range listed in the Appendix section of this manual.
