Siesta Nasal Mask
Thank you for choosing REACT HEALTH's Siesta Nasal Mask.
The Siesta Nasal Mask 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
mask.
The Mask is not made with natural rubber latex.
Intended Use
The Siesta Nasal Mask channels airflow non-invasively to the patient
from a positive airway pressure device such as a continuous positive
airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level system.
The Siesta Nasal Mask is:
•
To be used by adult patients (> 66 lb / 30 kg) for whom positive
airway pressure therapy has been prescribed.
•
Intended for single-patient reuse.
CAUTION: In the US, Federal law restricts the sale of this device by or
on the order of a physician.
Before Using the Mask
WARNINGS
•
The vent holes must be kept clear.
•
This mask should only be used with CPAP or bi-level devices
recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist.
•
The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once
the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
Explanation: CPAP and bi-level devices are intended to be used
with special masks (or connectors) which have vent holes to allow
continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the device is turned on
and functioning properly, new air from the device flushes the
exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. However, when the
device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided through
the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of
exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some
circumstances, lead to suffocation. This applies to most models of
CPAP or bi-level devices.

patient is allergic or sensitive to silicone.
•
This mask should not be used on patients who are uncooperative,
unresponsive, or unable to remove the mask.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
•
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bi-level device is
not in operation, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate in the
device enclosure and create a fire hazard.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in
well ventilated rooms.
•
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen
concentration varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient
breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.
•
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your
clinician to check if it is compatible with the flow generator. If it is
used beyond technical specifications or used with incompatible
devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective, and
optimum therapy may not be achieved. Leak or variation in the rate
of leak, may affect the function of the CPAP or bi-level device.
•
Stop using the Siesta Nasal Mask and consult your physician or
sleep therapist, if you have ANY adverse reaction to the use of the
mask.
•
Refer to your CPAP or bi-level device manual for details on settings
and operational information.
•
Remove all packaging before using the mask.
