Intended use

They act as a sealing element between the
patient and the therapy unit. They are used
for the treatment of sleep apnea and for the
non-invasive and non-life-sustaining
ventilation of patients with ventilatory
insufficiency.
The non vented variants may only be used in
combination with ventilation devices which
have an active exhaled air valve.
Before use by the patient
Patients must be instructed in the use of the
mask by qualified personnel before therapy

Safety regulations

Following the requirements of Directive 93/
42 ECC please observe the following points:
• Please read these operating instructions
through carefully. They are a part of the
product and should be available at all
times.
• Never use the vented variants if the anti-
asphyxia valve is damaged or missing, as
this may lead to increased CO

patients who are not able to remove it
independently or have a tendency to
vomit. There is a risk of asphyxia.

Otherwise it can lead to CO
tion or to leakages.
• If third-party items are used, functional fail-
ures may occur and fitness for use may be
restricted. Biocompatibility requirements may
also not be met. Please note that in such
cases, any claim under warranty and liability
will be voided if neither the accessories nor
genuine replacement parts recommended in
the instructions for use are used.
