Intended Use

The EasyLife Nasal Mask is an accessory to a non-continuous ventilator (respirator). The 
mask is for single patient use in the home or multi-patient use in the hospital/institutional 
environment. The mask is to be used on patients (>66lbs/30kg) for whom CPAP or bi-level 
therapy has been prescribed.

 

Notes

:

 

• An exhalation port is built into this mask so a separate exhalation port is not required.

 

• This mask does not contain natural rubber latex or DEHP.

 

Caution

: U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

 Warnings

•  This mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.

•  This mask is designed for use with CPAP or bi-level systems recommended by your health care 

professional or respiratory therapist. Do not wear this mask unless the CPAP or bi-level system is 

turned on and operating properly.

 Do not block or try to seal the exhalation port. Explanation of 

the Warning:

 CPAP systems are intended to be used with special masks with connectors which have 

vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and 

functioning properly, new air from the CPAP machine flushes the exhaled air out through the attached 

mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP machine is not operating, enough fresh air will not be 

provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. This warning applies to most models of 

CPAP systems. Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, 

lead to suffocation.

•  If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating.  

Explanation of the Warning

: When the device is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, 

oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate within the device enclosure. Oxygen 

accumulated in the device enclosure will create a risk of fire.

•  Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the presence of an 

open flame. 

•  At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending 

on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection, and the leak rate. This warning 

applies to most types of CPAP and bi-level machines.

•  Some users may experience skin redness, irritation, or discomfort. If this happens, discontinue use and 

contact your healthcare professional.

•  At low CPAP or EPAP pressures, the flow through the exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all 

exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.

•  Hand wash prior to first use. Inspect the mask for damage or wear (cracking, crazing, tears, etc). Discard
