CAUTION: U. S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Intended Use
The Heated Humidier is an accessory for the Respironics REMstar and BiPAP therapy devices to provide moisture to the patient circuit. It is intended for use in spontaneously breathing patients weighing over 30 kg (66 lbs), in the home or hospital/institutional environment, who use mask-applied positive pressure ventilation therapy.
Warnings
A warning indicates the possibility for injury to the user or the operator.
• Use the humidier only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only accessories recommended by Respironics.
• Periodically inspect the humidier for signs of wear or damage. Never operate the humidier if any parts are damaged, if it is not working properly, or if the humidier has been dropped or mishandled. Do not use the humidier if the water tank is leaking or damaged in any way. Have any damaged parts replaced before continuing use.
• Periodically inspect the humidier power cord for signs of wear or damage. If it becomes worn or damaged, contact Respironics or your home care provider for a replacement.
• Allow the humidier heater plate and water to cool down for approximately 15 minutes before removing the water tank. A burn may result from: touching the heater plate, coming in contact with the heated water, or touching the tank pan.
• This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a ammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
• When installing the water tank, do not allow any water to spill into the humidier or therapy device.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if it is making unusual or harsh sounds, if it has been dropped or mishandled, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, disconnect the power cord from the therapy device and discontinue use. Contact your home care provider.
• Before cleaning the humidier, always remove from the therapy device.
• Empty and clean the water tank daily to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Wipe the seal completely.
Note: Please see the “Limited Warranty” section of this manual for information on warranty coverage.
Cautions
A caution indicates the possibility of damage to the device.
• Do not place the humidier directly onto carpet, fabric, or other ammable materials.
• Do not place the device in or on any container that can collect or hold water. Take precautions to protect furniture from water damage.
• Do not ll the water tank above the maximum ll line. Damage to the humidier or therapy device may occur. If the water tank is overlled, water may leak out of the tank inlet (located on the back of the tank) when installing the tank lid.
• Use only room temperature distilled water in the tank. Do not put any chemicals or additives into the water. Possible airway irritation or damage to the water tank may result.
• Remove the tank, empty all water, and replace the empty tank before transporting the humidifier base.
• Do not attempt to ll the water tank while it is still inside the humidier.
• To avoid spilling, do not disconnect the humidier from the therapy device with water in the tank. Remove the water tank from the humidier before disconnecting the therapy device.
• Do not turn the humidier on without the water tank installed. The Humidier number setting must remain on 0 if there is no water in the water tank.
• The humidier door must be set in the open position before removing the water tank. Do not remove the water tank without making sure that the humidier door locks into the open position.
• Do not move the humidier while the water tank has water in it.
• Only the hospital and institution cleaning procedures listed in this manual are recommended by Respironics. Use of other cleaning and disinfecting processes, not specied by Respironics, may affect the performance of the product.
