Using Oxygen with Your CPAP/
Bi-Level Unit
If your physician has prescribed oxygen
for you to breathe during CPAP or Bi-Level
therapy, you must also learn how to use and
care for an oxygen system. It is important to
observe all fire and safety rules associated
with the use of oxygen. If you have any
questions about the use and care of an
oxygen system, contact Apria Healthcare.
Oxygen tubing may be connected to the unit
by using an
oxygen tee adapter
or a
port
on
the nasal mask.
If your oxygen is administered with a tee
adapter, the adapter may be connected
to the air outlet on the unit or between
the tubing and nasal mask.
Your tubing is connected to the large end
on the tee adapter and the small tubing from
your oxygen system is connected to the small
nipple on the tee adapter.
• Always turn your CPAP or Bi-Level unit
ON before turning ON the oxygen flow.
• Always turn OFF the oxygen before
turning OFF the CPAP or Bi-Level unit.
Your oxygen may be administered through
a port on the nasal mask. Keep the ports
closed unless using oxygen. The small
tubing from your oxygen system is directly
connected to the port on your nasal mask.
Refer to your specific device manufacturer’s
user manual for information regarding proper
placement of oxygen.
