The exhalation device (e.g., Whisper Swivel II) or exhalation port (on
masks with an integrated exhalation port) is designed to exhaust CO
from the patient circuit. Do not block or seal the ports on the exhala-

If you are using a full face mask (i.e., a mask covering both your mouth
and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety (entrain-
