Safety
ELECTROMAGNETIC
SUSCEPTIBILITY
This device meets the
requirements of IEC
60601-1-2 which describes
requirements for
electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) of
medical devices. This
includes immunity to
radio frequency electric
fields and electrostatic
discharge, in addition to
the other applicable
requirements of the
standard. Compliance with
EMC standards does not
mean a device has total
immunity; certain devices
(cellular phones, pagers,
etc.) can interrupt
operation if they are used
near medical equipment.
WARNING
This unit is shipped with a
dust cover on the DB9
connector. This cap should
be left on except when
the connector is in use.
WARNING
This device is not suitable
for use in the presence of
a flammable anaesthetic
mixture with air or with
nitrous oxide.
OXYGEN SAFETY
Oxygen is a prescription drug and should
only be administered under the supervision
of a physician.
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid
possible physical injury do not smoke or
place the device near any heat source while
using your CPAP with oxygen.
WARNING
If oxygen is used with this CPAP machine,
the oxygen flow must be turned off when
the CPAP machine is not operating.
Explanation of the warning: When the CPAP
device is not in operation and the oxygen
flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the
ventilator tubing may accumulate within the
CPAP machine enclosure. Oxygen
accumulated in the CPAP machine enclosure
will create a risk of fire. This warning applies
to most types of CPAP machines.
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 leak flow rate. This warning applies to
most types of CPAP machines.
