•If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating.
If oxygen has been left on, turn off the flow generator, then wait 30 minutes before turning on the flow generatory again.
Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the CPAP machine enclosure and create a risk of fire. This applies to most types of CPAP machines.
•Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while you are smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
•Always ensure airflow is being generated by the device before the oxygen supply is turned on.
•Always turn the oxygen supply off before stopping the airflow from the device.
Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on where the oxygen is introduced, the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and leak rate.
•Do not use the S8 ESCAPE if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in performance.
•Do not open the S8 ESCAPE case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should only be performed by an authorized service agent.
•Explosion
CAUTIONS
•At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
•The airflow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11oF (6oC)
higher than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is warmer than 90oF (32oC).
•When AC mains power
•If supplied, the Data Card module is designed for use with specific ResMed devices.
•Only use the Data Card module (if supplied) as specified in this manual.
Note: The above are general warnings and cautions. Specific warnings, cautions, and notes appear with the relevant instructions in the manual.
