ResMed S8 Escape II manual General Warnings and Cautions

Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on where the oxygen is introduced, the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate.

•Do not use the S8 Escape II if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in performance.

•Do not open the S8 Escape II case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized service agent.

•Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.

Cautions

•At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.

•The airflow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11ºF (6ºC) higher than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is warmer than 90ºF (32ºC).

•When AC mains power (100–240V AC) is not available, always use a ResMed DC-12 converter. (The DC-12 converter is available as an optional accessory. It is not supplied with all models.)

Note: The above are general warnings and cautions. Specific warnings, cautions, and notes appear with the relevant instructions in the manual.
