Intended Use - Hoffrichter CPAP User Manual

INTENDED USE

The device must not be used for patients weighing less than 30 kg. An
improper use may result a lung damage.
The point 2 is a respiratory therapy device designed for the treatment of sleep-
related breathing disorders in patients weighing 30 kg or more. With increased
demand of pressure and/or forms of respiratory insuffi ciency, the point 2 BILEVEL
ST20 and the point 2 BILEVEL ST25 offers the classical non-invasive ST-Bilevel
therapy.
The point 2 CPAP (CPAP = Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) is a respiratory
therapy device, which applies a continuous positive airway pressure to the patient.
The point 2 AutoCPAP (AutoCPAP = Automatically Adjusting Continuous Posi-
tive Airway Pressure) is a respiratory therapy device, which provides an event-
driven therapy pressure adjustment within preset pressure limits.
The point 2 BILEVEL ST20 and the point 2 BILEVEL ST25 (ST = Spontaneous,
Timed) are respiratory therapy devices, which enables two independently adjust-
able pressure levels depending of inspiration and expiration.
The device generates positive airway pressure which keeps the patient's airways
open whilst asleep. The therapy pressure is administered via a respiratory mask
(nasal, nasal cushion or full-face mask), which must be fi tted with an exhalation
valve to ensure that the exhaled air is discharged.
The point 2 is designed for use at home, in hospitals and for portable operation.
The device is not suitable for use with patients in need of artifi cial respiration.
This therapy device is no life-support system.
