should be disposed of separately, not as unsorted municipal waste. To dispose of your device, you
should use appropriate collection, reuse and recycling systems available in your region. The use
of these collection, reuse and recycling systems is designed to reduce pressure on natural
resources and prevent hazardous substances from damaging the environment. If you need
information on these disposal systems, please contact your local waste administration. The
crossed-bin symbol invites you to use these disposal systems. If you require information on

General Warnings and Cautions
A warning alerts you to possible injury.
• The entire manual should be read before using the device.
• Advice contained in this manual should not supersede instructions given by the prescribing
physician.
• This device should be used with masks and accessories recommended by ResMed or the
prescribing physician. Use of incorrect masks and accessories may adversely affect the
function of this device.
• This device is designed for use with masks that allow exhaled gases to be flushed out through
vent holes or anti-asphyxia valves. Exhaled gases will be rebreathed if the mask is worn with
the machine turned off, or the vent holes are occluded. If this occurs over prolonged periods,
suffocation may occur.
• In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, no air pressure will be delivered.
Remove the mask.
• This device can be set to deliver pressures up to 30 cm H
2
O. In the unlikely event of certain
fault conditions, pressures up to 40 cm H
2
O are possible.
• This device is not suitable for use in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics.
• This device should not be used with anaesthetised patients, whose breathing depends
entirely on mechanical ventilation.
• If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow should be stopped when the device is not
operating. If oxygen flow continues when the device is not operating, oxygen may accumulate
within the device and create a risk of fire.
• Do not use this device if there are obvious external defects, unexplained changes in
performance or unusual noises.
• Do not open this device case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal
servicing should only be performed by an authorised service agent.
A caution explains special measures for the safe and effective use of the device.
• At low EPAP pressures, the flow through the mask vent holes may be inadequate to clear all
exhaled gases, and some rebreathing may occur.
• The air flow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 6
º
C higher than the
temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is warmer
than 32
º
C.
Note: The above are general warnings and cautions. Further specific warnings, cautions and
notes appear next to the relevant instructions in the manual.
