General Warnings
A warning alerts you to possible injury. Specific warnings and
cautions appear next to the relevant instructions in the manual.
Use the Humidifier only for its intended use as described in this •
manual.
Make sure that the water chamber is empty before transporting the
•
Humidifier.
The Humidifier is designed only for use with specific ResMed PAP
•
devices. Do not use the Humidifier with any other PAP device.
The Humidifier should only be used with delivery tubes or accessories
•
recommended by ResMed. Connection of other delivery tubes or
accessories could result in injury, or damage to the device.
The Humidifier, including the associated tubing, is for single-patient
•
use and must not be re-used on another person. This is to avoid the
risk of cross-infection.
There exists the possibility that if the device is placed above the
•
level of the patient and is tipped over, or if the tubing is filled with
condensate, the mask might fill with heated water. The Humidifier
should therefore be used with caution in patients who are unable to
guard their airways, or are unable to pull the mask off, for example
following a stroke. Attention should be given to the relative risks and
benefits.
Do not attempt to dismantle the Humidifier docking station. There are
•
no user-serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal servicing should
only be performed by an authorised service agent.
If liquids are inadvertently spilled into or on the Humidifier docking
•
station, unplug the PAP device from the power outlet. Disconnect the
