Philips Respironics Nuance Instructions For Use Manual page 2

• At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the
pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning applies to most types
of CPAP and bi-level machines.
• At low CPAP or EPAP pressures the flow through the exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas
from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
• Attaching an exhalation device requires therapy pressure level adjustment to compensate for increased leak.
