Warnings
• This mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.
• This mask is designed for use with CPAP or bi-level systems recommended by your
health care professional or respiratory therapist. Do not wear this mask unless the CPAP
or bi-level system is turned on and operating properly. Do not block or try to seal the
exhalation port. Explanation of the Warning: CPAP systems are intended to be used
with special masks with connectors which have vent holes to allow continuous flow
of air out of the mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and functioning properly,
new air from the CPAP machine flushes the exhaled air out through the attached
mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP machine is not operating, enough
fresh air will not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed.
Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances
lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most models of CPAP systems.
