• Do not use this device if the room temperature is warmer than 95° F (35° C). If the device is
used at room temperatures warmer than 95° F (35° C), the temperature of the airflow may
exceed 106° F (41° C). This could cause irritation or injury to your airway.
• Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance because these condi
-
tions can increase the temperature of the air coming out of the device.
•
Contact your health care professional if symptoms of sleep apnea recur.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of this device, if it is making un
-
usual or harsh sounds, if the device or the power supply are dropped or mishandled, if water
is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is broken, discontinue use and contact your
home care provider.
• Repairs and adjustments must be performed by Respironics-authorized service personnel
only. Unauthorized service could cause injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly
damage.
• Periodically inspect electrical cords, cables, and the power supply for damage or signs of wear.
Discontinue use and replace if damaged.
• To avoid electric shock, unplug the device before cleaning it. DO NOT immerse the device
in any fluids.
• Using this device at an incorrect elevation setting could result in airflow pressures higher than
the prescribed setting. Always verify the elevation setting when traveling or relocating.
• Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warning symbol (
)should not be touched.
Connections should not be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary procedures
are used. Precautionary procedures include methods to prevent build-up of electrostatic
discharge (e.g., air conditioning, humidification, conductive floor coverings, non-synthetic
clothing), discharging one’s body to the frame of the equipment or system or to earth or a
large metal object, and bonding oneself by means of a wrist strap to the equipment or system
or to earth.
