SAFETY SUMMARY
To ensure the safe and proper installation and use of the
Invacare Twilight Nasal Mask and Headgear, these
instructions MUST be followed:
WARNING
This Twilight Nasal Mask should be used only with
CPAP systems recommended by your physician or
respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless
the CPAP system is turned on and operating properly.
NEVER block the vent hole or holes associated with
the mask.
Explanation of Warning: CPAP systems are intended
to be used with special masks with connectors which
have vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of
the mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and
functioning properly, new air from the CPAP machine
flushes the exhaled air out through the attached mask
exhalation port. However, when the CPAP machine is
not operating, not enough fresh air is provided through
the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed.
Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several
minutes can in some circumstances lead to suffocation.
This warning applies to most models of CPAP systems.
The entire mask system is for single patient use, and
must not be reused on another person. This is to avoid
risk of cross-infection.
