Temperature Warnings - Invacare Polaris EX CPAP with SoftX ISP3000 Operator's Manual

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Humidifier Use Warnings
Invacare recommends using the Polaris EX Heated
Humidifier or the Poseidon™Passover Humidifier. If using
the Poseidon Passover Humidifier or a humidifier not
manufactured by Invacare, it MUST be placed at a level below
the level of the Polaris EX CPAP unit. This will prevent
accidental drainage of water into the unit, which could result
in electrical shock or unit malfunction.
When not in use, water reservoirs should be disconnected
from the unit. Refer to recommended cleaning instructions in
the cleaning procedure in this manual.
If a heated humidifier is used, DO NOT use high temperature
settings which may result in water accumulation in the
tubing. This condition may cause improper operation of the
equipment.
If a humidifier, other than those recommended by Invacare, is
connected to the Polaris EX CPAP unit, the patient circuit
pressure may be different from the therapeutic pressure,
consequently, reducing the effectiveness of treatment.

Temperature Warnings

DO NOT operate the Polaris EX CPAP unit if it has been
exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures. Allow the unit
to adjust to room temperature before using.
DO NOT place the unit near heating or cooling sources such
as radiators, forced air vents, electric heaters, or air
conditioning outlets.
The breathing air flow temperature produced by this device
can be as much as 11°F (6°C) higher than the room
temperature. DO NOT use this product if the room
temperature is warmer than 95°F (35°C).
