Cautions - ResMed VPAP ST Clinical Manual

CAUTIONS

• Do not open the device enclosure. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and servicing
should only be performed by an authorised ResMed service agent.
• Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based solutions, moisturising or antibacterial soaps
or scented oils to clean the device, humidifier or air tubing. These solutions may cause damage and
reduce the life of these products.
• Incorrect system setup may result in incorrect mask pressure reading. Ensure the system is correctly
set up.
• Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over the
power cord.
• Make sure the area around the device is dry and clean and clear of bedding, clothes or other objects
that could block the air inlet or cover the power supply unit.
• Ensure that the device is protected against water if used outdoors. Enclose the device in the
S9 travel bag for transport.
• The H5i should only be used with tubing or accessories recommended by ResMed. Connection of
other delivery tubes or accessories could result in injury, or damage to the device.
• Do not open the H5i enclosure. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and servicing
should only be performed by an authorised ResMed service agent.
• Do not overfill the water tub as water may enter the device and air tubing.
• Do not use any additives (eg, scented oils and perfumes). These may reduce the humidification
output of the H5i and/or cause deterioration of the water tub materials.
• Take care when handling the H5i as the water/water tub may be hot. Allow 10 minutes for the heater
plate and any excess water to cool.
• The H5i should only be connected or disconnected when the water tub is empty.
• Make sure that the water tub is empty before transporting the H5i.
• Do not operate the H5i on an aircraft as water may enter the device and air tubing during turbulence.
• Always place the H5i on a level surface below the level of the user to prevent the mask and tubing
from filling with water.
• If liquids are inadvertently spilled into or on the H5i, unplug the device from the power outlet.
Disconnect the H5i from the device and allow it to drain and dry before re-using.
