If you are using a mask with a
separate exhalation port:
• Connect the exhalation port to
the end of the flexible tubing.
• Position the exhalation port so
that the vented air is blowing
away from your face.
• Connect the mask’s connector to
the exhalation port.
The exhalation port is designed to exhaust CO
2
from the circuit.
Continuous flow is required for safe operation. Do not block or
otherwise try to seal the air openings on the exhalation port.
If you are using a full face mask (i.e., a mask covering both your
mouth and your nose), the mask must be equipped with a safety
(entrainment) valve.

Note: The graphic to the right shows
two different types of Whisper
Swivel exhalation ports. Both
ports are interchangeable, but
the one shown on the right is a newer model. Respironics
will no longer manufacture the port shown on the left.
