General warnings and cautions

WARNING
• Make sure that you arrange the air tubing so that it will not twist around the head or neck.
• Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
• Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the equipment is not
damaged.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the machine, if it is making
unusual sounds, if the machine or the power supply are dropped or mishandled, or if the
enclosure is broken, discontinue use and contact your care provider or your ResMed
Service Centre.
• Do not open or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs
and servicing should only be performed by an authorised ResMed service agent.
• Beware of electrocution. Do not immerse the machine, power supply or power cord in
water. If liquids are spilled into or onto the machine, unplug the machine and let the parts
dry. Always unplug the machine before cleaning and make sure that all parts are dry
before plugging it back in.
• Do not use with oxygen. Any sources of oxygen must be located more than 1 m away from
the machine to avoid risk of fire and burns.
• Do not perform any maintenance tasks while the machine is in operation.
• Use only AirMini masks and accessories that allow for normal breathing to avoid
asphyxiation.
• The use of accessories other than those specified for the machine is not recommended.
This may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity of the
machine and result in improper operation.

Solution
Adjust and refit the patient's mask to improve the seal. Ensure
that no air is leaking from it. Refer to the mask user guide for
fitting instructions or perform the mask fit function using the
AirMini app to check the patient's mask fit and seal. If the
patient's mask fit is good, advise the patient to try the HumidX
Plus.
Advise the patient to try therapy with the HumidX.
If the patient is using the HumidX, advise them to remove it
and try therapy without humidification.
If the patient is using the HumidX Plus, advise them to try the
HumidX instead. This will help to reduce the water droplets.
