Using this guide

Please read the entire guide before use. When following instructions,
refer to the images at the front of the guide.

Intended Use

The Quattro Air NV is a non-invasive accessory used for channeling
air-flow (with or without supplemental oxygen), intended to be used with
active-exhaust-valve ventilators, to provide ventilatory assistance to
patients with respiratory insufficiency and respiratory failure.
The Quattro Air NV is:

to be used by patients weighing >66 lb (30 kg) requiring non-life
support ventilatory assistance.

intended for single patient re-use in the home environment and/or
multi-patient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

GENERAL WARNINGS


The mask must not be used without qualified supervision for
patients who are unable to remove the mask themselves.

This mask is not for use on patients with impaired laryngeal
reflexes or other conditions predisposing to aspiration in the
event of regurgitation or vomiting.

The mask should only be used with ventilators recommended by
a physician or respiratory therapist.

The mask should not be worn unless the ventilator system is
turned on and operating properly.

Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.

If oxygen is used with the ventilator, the oxygen flow must be
turned off when the ventilator is not operating, so that unused
oxygen does not accumulate within the device enclosure and
create a risk of fire.
