WARNING
Risk of incorrect operation and of incorrect use
Any use of the medical device requires full understanding and
strict observation of all sections of these instructions for use. The
medical device must only be used for the purpose specified under
"Intended use" and in conjunction with appropriate patient moni-
toring.
Strictly observe all WARNING and CAUTION statements through-
out these instructions for use and all statements on medical de-
vice labels. Failure to observe these safety information statements
constitutes a use of the medical device that is inconsistent with its
intended use.
WARNING
To avoid contamination and soiling of the mask, it must remain
packaged until ready to be used.
CAUTION
Installation to the basic device must be in accordance with the instruc-
tions for use for the basic device. Check that this medical device is se-
curely connected to the basic device system.
CAUTION
The medical devices are not available individually.
Only one copy of the instructions for use is included in the clinical pack-
age and must therefore be kept in a location accessible for users.
Mandatory reporting of adverse events

the responsible authorities.
Intended use
Disposable air cushion anesthesia mask for the application of medical
gases in the patient's upper airways without the need to insert any addi-
tional devices in the trachea.
Instructions for Use ComfortStar
Patient target groups
The products are intended for adults, adolescents, children or infants.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
CPAP application: This mask does not include an anti-asphyxia
valve via which the patient could breathe independently in the
case of failure of the basic device.
Preparation and operation
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Perform a visual inspection of the mask, of its components, and of
the headgear prior to each use.
Replace the mask or headgear, if signs of wear of the mask, of its
components, or of the headgear become visible.
WARNING
Use only clean and undamaged components.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Do not place the mask over open wounds that are prone to infec-
tion.
WARNING
The mask must not constrict the patient's nose or mouth; the pa-
tient must be able to breathe freely and comfortably.
CAUTION
The mask should fit the face comfortably but still provide an effective
seal. Headgear straps are adjustable to stabilize the mask; pulling the
straps too tight may cause skin irritation.
CAUTION
Regularly check the patient's skin under the mask for signs of skin irri-
tation.
If the patient experiences skin irritation, consult a physician.
CAUTION
Dräger recommends monitoring the expired CO
sure is low.
CAUTION
The mask can be attached to connectors that comply with the
ISO 5356-1 standard.
Mask sizes 0 to 2 are suitable for connection to a product with an internal
diameter of 15 mm.
Mask sizes 3 to 6 are suitable for connection to a product with an external
diameter of 22 mm.
Only products with the relevant connection may be connected.
When using a headgear (optional), this must be attached via the hook
ring on the mask.
The mask cushion must expand correctly during inflation so that it fits her-
metically onto the patient's facial contours. A medium pressure in the
mask cushion ensures the best fit and seal.
A syringe (male, without needle) or the two-sided pump ball for air man-
agement (MP01590) is required in order to modify the cushion pressure.
Insert the syringe or the pump ball in the valve, allowing the air volume in
the mask cushion to be increased or decreased.
WARNING
Excessive inflation of the mask cushion may reduce the useful
surface and can lead to obstruction of the airways.
Period of use
The medical device is intended for single use and must be replaced at
least every 24 hours.
Reprocessing
WARNING
The masks and optional accessories have been designed, tested
and manufactured exclusively for disposable use. The above
products must not be reused, reprocessed, or sterilized. Reuse,
reprocessing, or sterilization may lead to a failure of the products
and injury to the patient.
Disposal
Following use, the product must be disposed of in accordance with the
hygiene and waste disposal regulations of the hospital.
