Rio™ II Nasal Pillows Interface
Thank you for choosing the Rio™ II Nasal Pillows Interface.
The Rio™ II Nasal Pillows Interface is light, flexible and quiet. It is designed to
minimize contact with your face, thus ensuring that you feel comfortable during
therapy. This user manual provides you with the information you need for the
correct use of your system.

Intended Use

The Rio™ II is intended for adult patients (> 30 kg) prescribed continuous positive
airway pressure or Bi-level therapy, and it is intend for single patient reuse in the
home environment.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts the sale of this device to sale by or on the order of
a physician.

Medical Information

Note: The Rio™ II does not contain latex, PVC, or DEHP materials. If you have
ANY reaction to any part of the interface, discontinue use and consult your sleep
therapist.

WARNING and CAUTION

•
This interface should be used only with flow generators (CPAP or Bi-level)
recommended by your physician or respiratory therapist. It should not be used
unless the flow generator is turned on and operating properly. The vent holes
should never be blocked.
•
Explanation of the Warning: Flow generators are intended for use with
special interfaces with connectors which have vent holes (vent holes are
located in the elbow) or separate exhalation devices that allow a continuous
flow of air out of the interface. When the flow generator is on and operating
properly, the fresh air from the flow generator will flush the exhaled air out
through the attached exhalation port. However, when the flow generator is not
operating (e.g. power failure), the fresh air supplied through the interface is
insufficient, and exhaled air may be re-inhaled. In this situation, remove the
Rio™ II immediately.
•
The exhaust vent flow is lower at lower interface pressure (see section
"Technical Specifications" section for details of the Pressure-Flow Curve). If
the interface pressure during exhalation is too low, there may not be enough
exhaust vent flow to completely flush the exhaled air delivery hose from the
before the next inhalation begins.
•
Discontinue using the interface if you frequently experience nasal irritation,
and consult your physician.
•
If oxygen is used with the flow generator, the oxygen flow must be turned off
when the flow generator is not operating. Explanation of the Warning: When
the flow generator is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen
delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate in the flow generator
enclosure. The accumulation of oxygen in the flow generator enclosure will
create a fire hazard. This warning applies to most types of flow generators.
•
Please refrain from smoking while oxygen is in use.
•
The images shown here are indicative only. If there is inconsistency between
the image and the actual product, the actual product shall govern.
Note: At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing
pattern, interface selection and the leak rate.
