restrictive pulmonary diseases (eg, diseases of the lung parenchyma, diseases
of the chest wall, neuromuscular diseases), central respiratory regulation
diseases, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and obesity hypoventilation
syndrome (OHS).
WARNING
• The mask contains safety features, eg, exhaust vent and valve, to
enable normal breathing and exhaust exhaled breath. Occlusion of the
exhaust vent or valve needs to be prevented to avoid having an
adverse effect on the safety and quality of the therapy. Regularly
inspect the vent and valve to ensure it is kept clean, clear of blockages
and is not damaged.
