S9 Cautions; H5I Warnings; Air Tubing Warnings - ResMed S9 Series Clinical Manual

S9 CAUTIONS

• Be careful not to place your device where it can be bumped or where someone is likely to trip over
the power cord.
• If you put the device on the floor, make sure the area is free from dust and clear of bedding, clothes
or other objects that could block the air inlet or cover the power supply unit.
• Make sure the area around the device is dry and clean.
• Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as it may harden over time and eventually crack.
• Do not wash the air filter. The air filter is not washable or reusable.
• The air filter cover protects the device in the event of accidental liquid spillage. Ensure the air filter
and air filter cover are fitted at all times.
• 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 airflow for breathing produced by these devices can be as much as 11ºF (6ºC) higher than the
temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is warmer than 90ºF
(32ºC).

H5i WARNINGS

• The H5i is designed only for use with S9 Series devices. Do not use the H5i with any other CPAP
device.
• Do not operate the H5i if it is not working properly or if any part of the CPAP device or H5i has been
dropped or damaged.
• The H5i should only be used with tubing or accessories recommended by ResMed. Connection of
other delivery tubes or accessories could result in injury, or damage to the device.
• Water must be prevented from entering your CPAP device.
• Do not overfill the water tub as water may enter the device and air tubing.
• Take care when handling your H5i as the water/water tub may be hot. Allow 10 minutes for the
heater plate and any excess water to cool.
• The H5i docking station should only be connected or disconnected when the water tub is empty.
• Make sure that the water tub is empty before transporting the H5i.
• Do not operate the H5i on an aircraft as water may enter the CPAP device and air tubing during
turbulence.
• Always place the H5i on a level surface below the level of the user to prevent the mask and tubing
from filling with water.
• The H5i should be used with caution for users who are unable to remove the mask for themselves.
• If liquids are inadvertently spilled into or on the H5i docking station, unplug the device from the
power outlet. Disconnect the docking station from the CPAP device and allow the docking station to
drain and dry before re-using.

AIR TUBING WARNINGS

• If damage to the air tubing results in air leaking, stop using the air tubing.
• Do not wash the air tubing in a washing machine or dishwasher.
• The ClimateLine or ClimateLine is designed only for use with the H5i.
