ResMed Mirage FX for Her Bedienungsanleitung Seite 8

• 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 bilevel 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 bilevel
devices.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
• Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel
device is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not
accumulate within the device enclosure and create a risk of
fire.
• 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.
• Remove all packaging before using the mask.
Note: For any serious incidents that occur in relation to this device,
these should be reported to ResMed and the competent authority in
your country.
