Using Your Mask - ResMed Quattro FX User Manual

• Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
• Oxygen fl ow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel device is
not operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the
device enclosure and create a risk of fi re.
• Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open fl ame. Only use oxygen in well
ventilated rooms.
• Remove all packaging before using the mask.
• Ensure the soft sleeves are fi tted at all times during use.
