9.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When I wake up in the morning, my nose and throat feel dry. What can I do?
Try increasing your humidity setting. If this does not help, please contact your clinician for advice.
How do I prevent condensation in the tubing?
The humidity setting enables adjustment of humidity, so that there should be fine misting in the six inches (183cm) of the breathing tube closest to your face. If the humidity setting is too high for the conditions, condensation may occur in the breathing tube.
Note: Using greater than 6' (183 cm) of tubing will increase condensation.
There are several ways of reducing condensation in the tube:
1.Ensure the device is not positioned in a cool draft.
2.Decrease the humidity setting on your device slightly. Gradually decrease the setting until the condensation no longer occurs.
3.Warm the air in the room.
Do I have to use distilled water with my device?
The use of distilled water will maximize the life of the water chamber. Water from the faucet will often contain minerals which can damage the chamber, causing pitting in the base, even if the water is passed through a filter.
Can I use my device in other countries?
Yes. Simply use the appropriate electrical socket adaptor and the device will automatically adapt to any voltage supply.
Note: When moving your device, ensure that the water chamber is empty. Machine failure due to water damage is not covered by warranty.
Can I use supplemental oxygen with my device?
Yes, oxygen can be administered at the mask. Turn the device on before turning on the oxygen. Ensure that the oxygen source is turned off before turning off the device to avoid oxygen accumulating in the machine.
When do I replace my water chamber?
Replace the chamber if the plastic walls of the chamber become cracked or cloudy or the chamber base becomes pitted. (Note: If the chamber leaks at all, it should be replaced immediately).
