Oxygen When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply with
local regulations for medical oxygen.
When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before turning
on the oxygen. Turn the oxygen o before turning the device o. This will
prevent oxygen accumulation in the device.
Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not in operation and the
oxygen ow is left on, oxygen delivered into the tubing may accumulate
within the device’s enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure
will create a risk of re.
When using oxygen with this system, a Philips Respironics Pressure Valve
(REF 302418) must be placed at the air outlet port. Failure to use the pressure
valve could result in a re hazard. Refer to the pressure valve instructions for
use for proper use.
If administering xed-ow supplemental oxygen, the oxygen concentration
may not be constant. The inspired oxygen concentration will vary depending
on the pressure setting, patient breathing pattern, and leak rate. Substantial
leaks around the mask may reduce the inspired oxygen concentration to less
than the expected concentrations. Appropriate patient monitoring should be
implemented.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or
in the presence of an open ame.
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source.
Do not use the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
Operating
Temperatures
Do not use this device if the room temperature is warmer than
35˚ C (95˚ F). If the device is used at room temperatures warmer than 35˚ C,
the temperature of the airow may exceed 43˚ C (109˚ F). This could cause
irritation or injury to your airway.
Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance
because these conditions can increase the temperature of the air coming out
of the device.
Bacteria Filter If the device is used by multiple persons (such as rental devices), Philips
Respironics recommends that a low-resistance, main ow bacteria lter (Part
Number 342077) be installed in-line between the device and the circuit
tubing to prevent device contamination.
