and tubing
The device should be used only with masks and connectors
recommended by Philips Respironics or with those recommended
by the health care professional or respiratory therapist. A mask
should not be used unless the device is turned on and operating
properly. The exhalation port(s) associated with the mask should
never be blocked.
Explanation of the Warning: The device is intended to be used
with special masks or connectors that have exhalation ports to
allow continuous ow of air out of the mask. When the device is
turned on and functioning properly, new air from the device ushes
the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation port. However,
when the device is not operating, enough fresh air will not be
provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed.
If you are using a full face mask (a mask covering both your
mouth and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety
(entrainment) valve.
Do not pull or stretch the tubing. This could result in circuit leaks.
Inspect the tubing for damage or wear. Discard and replace the tubing
as necessary.
