ResMed Hospital Full Face Mask

The RESMED HOSPITAL FULL FACE MASK is intended for single patient use for adult patients (>30 kg) prescribed continuous positive airway pressure or bilevel therapy in hospitals or clinics.

This is a disposable mask. It is intended to be used for the short-term (maximum seven days) treatment of a single patient only, then discarded.

MEDICAL INFORMATION

Note: The mask system does not contain latex materials. If the patient has ANY reaction to any part of the mask system, discontinue use.

CONTRAINDICATION

This mask may not be suitable for patients at risk of reflux of gastric contents.

Supervision is recommended if the patient has a reduced level of consciousness or is unable to remove the mask.

WARNINGS

This mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.

This mask should be used only with CPAP or bilevel systems recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the CPAP or bilevel system is turned on and operating properly. The exhalation device (vent) should never be blocked. The exhalation device must not be used for any medical procedure. Explanation of the Warning: CPAP or bilevel systems are intended to be used with special masks with connectors which have vent holes or separate exhalation devices to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP or bilevel device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the flow generator flushes the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP or bilevel device is not operating, enough fresh air may not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most models of CPAP or bilevel systems.

Note: The mask includes an anti-asphyxia valve to help reduce rebreathing of exhaled air in the event that the CPAP or bilevel device is not operating properly.
