If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the

device is not operating.
If oxygen has been left on, turn off the flow generator, then wait 30 minutes
before turning on the flow generator again.
Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is
left on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the
CPAP machine enclosure and create a risk of fire. This applies to most types of
CPAP machines.

At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not

clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
The air flow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11°F (6°C)
•
higher than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room
temperature is warmer than 90°F (32°C).
Note: The above are general warnings and cautions. Specific warnings, cautions, and
