WARNING
The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP™ should be used only with masks recommended
by DeVilbiss, your physician or respiratory therapist.
To avoid rebreathing of exhaled air, do not use a CPAP mask unless the
device is turned on and providing a supply of air. Venting in the mask
should never be blocked. When the device is turned on and providing a
fresh supply of air, exhaled air is flushed out of the mask vent. However,
when the device is not operating, exhaled air may be rebreathed.
Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in some
circumstances lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most CPAP
devices.
The DeVilbiss IntelliPAP is not a life support device and may stop
operating with certain device faults or with a power failure. It is intended
to be used on spontaneously breathing individuals weighing 66 lbs/30 Kg
or greater.
To avoid electric shock, always unplug power cord from wall outlet power
source when performing cleaning.
Use only accessories recommended by DeVilbiss.
CAUTION–The circular data port connector located on the back of the IntelliPAP is used to
attach accessories to the device. The connector must only be used with accessories approved for
use by DeVilbiss. Do not attempt to attach any other device to this connector as it may damage
the CPAP or the accessory device.
CAUTION–Never rinse or place the device in water. Never allow liquids to get into or around
any of the ports, switches or air filter; doing so will result in device damage. If this occurs,
discontinue use and remove the power cord from the power source. Allow the device to
completely dry before use.
CAUTION–Do not place the IntelliPAP where it can be bumped onto the floor or where the
power cord may create a trip hazard.
CAUTION–Only the DeVilbiss DV5 series Heated Humidifier system is recommended for use
with the IntelliPAP . Other humidifier systems may prevent the device from detecting snoring and
may cause inappropriate pressure levels in the mask.
CAUTION–Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the supervision
of a physician.
