GENERAL WARNINGS
• 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 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 devices.
Using your mask
For a full list of compatible devices for this mask, see the Mask/Device

HumidX and HumidX Plus
The HumidX and HumidX Plus are waterless humidifiers. These are
designed to provide more comfort by improving the moisture level in
the air you breathe and offering relief from possible dryness.
The HumidX is a good starting point for finding the right level of
humidification. The HumidX Plus will improve the humidity level further
and is useful when the ambient humidity level is very low (eg. high
altitudes, on an aircraft).
The HumidX and HumidX Plus must be replaced within 30 days of
opening the HumidX/HumidX Plus pack.
