ResMed 608140/20611 manual About the Mask, Parts of the Mask, Fitting the Mask

•If oxygen is used with the ventilator, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the ventilator is not operating.

Explanation: When the ventilator is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate within the ventilator enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the ventilator enclosure will create a risk of fire. This warning applies to most types of ventilators.

•Please refrain from smoking while oxygen is in use.

About the Mask

•The mask system does not contain latex, PVC or DEHP materials. If the patient has ANY reaction to any part of the mask system, discontinue use and investigate the possible causes.

•ResMed has tinted the Ultra Mirage NV Full Face Mask elbow blue to identify it as a non-vented mask for use with active exhaust non-invasive ventilator systems only.

•The mask has a standard female 22 mm tapered fitting (ISO5356-1) for external connection to the ventilator.

•Refer to the section “Technical Specifications” of this guide for information about mask leak, dead space and resistance.

CAUTION

The mask must be cleaned and disinfected/sterilized if it is used between patients. Refer to the section “Cleaning the Mask between Patients” for details.
