The F20 is:
• to be used by patients weighing more than 30 kg for
whom positive airway pressure therapy has been
prescribed
•
intended for single-patient reuse in the home environment
and multi-patient reuse in the hospital/institutional
environment.

WARNING
Magnets are used in the lower headgear straps and the
frame of the F20. Ensure the headgear and frame is kept at
least 50 mm away from any active medical implant (eg,
pacemaker or defibrillator) to avoid possible effects from
localized magnetic fields. The magnetic field strength is
