If oxygen is used with the CPAP or
•
bilevel device, the oxygen flow must be
turned off when the flow generator is
not operating.
Explanation of the Warning: When the
CPAP or bilevel device is not in
operation, and the oxygen flow is left
on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator
tubing may accumulate within the flow
generator enclosure. Oxygen
accumulated in the CPAP or bilevel
device enclosure will create a risk of fire.
This warning applies to most types of
CPAP or bilevel flow generators.
Please refrain from smoking while
•
oxygen is in use.
Note: 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.

1 Move the forehead support tab to
Position 4 (Fig. C-1). Position 4 is the
uppermost tab position.
2 Disconnect one lower headgear clip.
Place the mask on the face and pull the
headgear over your head (Fig. C-2).
Ensure that the upper straps pass across
your forehead and the lower straps
below your ears.
3 Reattach the headgear clip to the mask
frame.
4 Gently tighten the upper headgear
straps (Fig. C-3). The pads of the
forehead support should lightly touch
your forehead when the mask is in place.
5 Gently tighten the lower headgear
straps (Fig. C-4).
6 The fitted mask should look like this
(Fig. C-5).
7 Connect the main air tubing to the
swivel (Fig. C-6). Then connect the free
end of the air tubing to your flow
generator and turn the flow generator
on. If you feel air leaks around the
cushion, you may need to gently tighten
the headgear straps.
Note: Do not overtighten the headgear
straps as this may cause discomfort,
cushion creases and mask leak.
If you are unable to get a proper seal
through gently tightening the headgear
you will need to change the position of
the forehead support tab.
Loosen the headgear straps and move
the forehead support tab to the next
position (e.g. from Position 4 move it
downwards to Position 3). Gently
tighten the upper headgear straps and
then the lower headgear straps.
Take time to test all four positions of the
forehead support tab and to adjust the
headgear straps so that you can achieve
M a secure and comfortable fit.
