Warnings
• The vent holes must be kept clear.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is
fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
• Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
• Oxygen flow must be turned off when the CPAP or bilevel device is not
operating so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within the device
enclosure and create a risk of fire.
• At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
concentration varies depending on the pressure settings, user breathing
pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.

• If any visible deterioration of a mask component is apparent (cracking, tears,
etc), the mask component should be discarded and replaced.
• Do not use aromatic-based solutions or scented oils (eg, eucalyptus or essential
oils), bleach, alcohol or products that smell strongly (eg, citrus) to clean any of
the mask components. Residual vapours from these solutions can be inhaled
and may also damage the mask, causing cracks.
• Your physician or sleep therapist is responsible for ensuring that the mask
is compatible with the device. If used outside specification or if used with
incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective
and optimum therapy may not be achieved.
• Do not combine components from different mask systems.
• Discontinue using the mask and consult your physician or sleep therapist if you
have ANY adverse reaction.
• Refer to your CPAP or bilevel device manual for details on its settings and
operational information.
• This mask should be disinfected and/or sterilised when used between users.
• Remove all packaging before using the mask.
• The elbow and valve assembly have specific safety functions. They allow you
to breathe fresh air if the airflow from your CPAP or bilevel device to your mask
is impeded. The mask should not be worn if the valve is damaged as it will
not be able to perform its safety function. The valve should be replaced if it is
damaged, distorted or torn.
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for users who are unable
to remove the mask by themselves. The mask may not be suitable for those
predisposed to aspiration.
• (Quattro FX/Quattro FX for Her only) Ensure the soft sleeves are fitted at all
times during use.
• Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing
dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
