Warnings related to treatment

The SULLIVAN® Comfort™ bi-level system is designed to help you have a good night’s sleep. However, you need to be aware of possible problems that may arise during the course of your treatment. If you have concerns about any of these problems consult your physician immediately.

•You may experience sneezing, a runny nose or nasal obstruction, especially during the first few weeks of using your Comfort. This may need treatment such as a nasal spray. Consult your physician for advice.

•If you experience any of the following symptoms during the course of your treatment, consult your physician immediately.

-Headache

-Middle ear or sinus discomfort

-Chest pain

-Feeling slightly bloated. This is usually the result of excessive swallowing of air in response to the pressure sensation from your Comfort while you are awake. Using the delay timer may help but contact your physician if symptoms persist.

-Dryness of the nose, mouth or throat. The use of a humidifier may help. Contact your physician or equipment supplier for advice on the range of humidifiers available and whether these are suitable for you.

-Air continually leaking out of the mouth while sleeping.

•Do not stop your treatment without the approval of your physician. Always consult your physician if you expect to be in a situation where you cannot use your Comfort for more than a few days.

•If any of the symptoms of sleep apnea recur during the course of your treat- ment, consult your physician.

•If you are admitted to hospital or are prescribed any other form of medical treatment, always inform the medical staff that you are receiving nasal bi- level treatment. Make sure that your physician who is treating you for sleep apnea is contacted.

•Skin irritation may occur from sensitivity to the material in the mask or from too much tension in the headgear straps. A correctly fitted mask and optimum tension in the straps will often prevent skin irritation. If problems persist, contact your equipment supplier or physician for advice.

•If you experience an infection of the upper respiratory tract, middle ear or sinus, you should consult your physician before continuing your treatment. You may be advised to stop treatment until the infection has cleared. If you continue with treatment during an infection, it is advisable to wash your mask and tubing more often.
