circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most models of CPAP or bilevel devices.

∙Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.

∙Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of fire.

∙Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in well ventilated rooms.

∙At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP or bilevel devices.

∙The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician to check that they are compatible with the CPAP or bilevel device. If used outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the CPAP or bilevel device function.

∙Discontinue using this mask if you have ANY adverse reaction to the use of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep therapist.

∙Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.

∙As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP pressures.

∙Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for details on settings and operational information.

∙Remove all packaging before using the mask.
