SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN

Supplemental oxygen may be prescribed with nasal CPAP for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
CAUTION–Oxygen is a prescription gas and should only be administered under the supervision of a physician.
WARNING
Oxygen supports combustion. To avoid possible physical injury, do not smoke while using your bilevel CPAP unit with supplemental
oxygen. Do not use near hot, sparking objects or open sources of flame.
WARNING
Always turn the bilevel CPAP unit on prior to turning on the oxygen flow and turn off the oxygen before
turning the unit off.
1. Press the ON/OFF button on the keypad to start the blower. Connect the optional oxygen adapter (part
#7353D-601) to the outlet port of the unit. Always turn CPAP unit on before the oxygen source and turn the
oxygen source off before turning off the bilevel CPAP unit.
2. Connect one end of the 22 mm diameter tubing to the open end of the adapter and the other end to the
CPAP mask.
3. Oxygen may be injected into the air supply by connecting one end of standard oxygen tubing to the oxygen
adapter and the other end to the oxygen source (Figure 15).
4. If the bilevel CPAP is to be left for an extended period of time, shut off the oxygen flow. Do not leave the
oxygen source unattended.
WARNING
The flow setting of the oxygen source shall be specified by a physician.
WARNING
Equipment is not suitable in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
NOTE–Equipment is suitable for use with oxygen if prescribed by your physician.
NOTE–At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure setting, patient breathing
pattern, mask selection and leak rate. This applies to most types of bilevel and CPAP machines.

CLEANING

WARNING
To avoid electric shock, always unplug power cord from wall outlet power source.
CAUTION–Never rinse or place the unit in water. Never allow liquids to get into or around any of the ports, switches, or air filter; doing so will
result in product damage. If this occurs, do not use the unit. Contact your provider for service.

Cabinet

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Wipe the cabinet with a clean, damp cloth and mild dishwashing detergent every few days to keep dust free. Do not use alcohol or any
alcohol-based solutions to clean the unit. These cleaning solutions may damage the plastic enclosure. Allow
the unit to dry completely before plugging the unit into a power source.

Air-Inlet Filter

1. The air-inlet filter should be checked daily and cleaned as necessary. The filter is located in the rear of the
unit (Figure 16).
2. To clean, remove the dirty foam filter from the frame.
3. Wash the filter in a solution of warm water and dishwashing detergent and rinse with tap water. Allow the filter
to dry completely. If the filter (part #8000D-602) is damaged, contact your home medical equipment provider for
a replacement.
4. Insert clean filter into housing.
