!WARNINGS
•The AUTOSET CS2 is NOT a life support ventilator.
•The entire manual should be read before using the AUTOSET CS2.
•Advice contained in this manual should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing physician.
•The AUTOSET CS2 should be used with masks and accessories recommended by ResMed or the prescribing physician. Use of incorrect masks and accessories may adversely affect the function of the AUTOSET CS2.
•The AUTOSET CS2 is designed for use with masks that allow exhaled gases to be flushed out through vent holes. Exhaled gases will be rebreathed if the mask is worn with the machine turned off, or the vent holes are occluded. If this occurs over prolonged periods, suffocation may occur.
•In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask.
•The air flow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 6oC (11oF)
higher than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is warmer than 32oC (90oF).
•The AUTOSET CS2 can be set to deliver pressures up to 20 cmH2O. In the unlikely event of certain fault conditions, pressures of up to 40 cmH2O for up to 0.7 seconds are possible.
•The AUTOSET CS2 is not suitable for use in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics.
•If oxygen is used with the AUTOSET CS2, the oxygen flow should be stopped when the device is not operating. If oxygen flow continues when the device is not operating, oxygen may accumulate within the device and create a risk of fire.
•Do not use the AUTOSET CS2 if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in performance.
•Do not open the AUTOSET CS2 case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorised service agent.
