Using Your Mask - ResMed AirFit F20 User Manual

GENERAL WARNINGS

At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
concentration varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient
breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate. This
warning applies to most types of CPAP or bilevel devices.

The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your
clinician to check that they are compatible with the CPAP or
bilevel device. If used outside specification or if used with
incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not
be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or
variation in the rate of leak, may affect the CPAP or bilevel device
function.

Discontinue using this mask if you have ANY adverse reaction to
the use of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep therapist.

Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate
an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your
physician or dentist.

The F20 line of full face CPAP masks are not intended to be used
simultaneously with nebuliser medications that are in the air path
of the mask/tube.

As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low CPAP
pressures.

Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for details on
settings and operational information.

Remove all packaging before using the mask.
Note: For any serious incidents that occur in relation to this device, these
should be reported to ResMed and the competent authority in your
country.
