The RESMED HOSPITAL
FULL FACE MASK is intended for single patient use for adult patients
(>30 kg) prescribed continuous positive airway pressure or bilevel therapy in hospitals or
clinics.
This is a disposable mask. It is intended to be used for the short-term (maximum seven days)
treatment of a single patient only, then discarded.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
Note: The mask system does not contain latex materials. If the patient has ANY reaction to any
part of the mask system, discontinue use.
CONTRAINDICATION
• This mask may not be suitable for patients at risk of reflux of gastric contents.
• Supervision is recommended if the patient has a reduced level of consciousness or is
unable to remove the mask.
WARNINGS
• This mask is not suitable for providing life support ventilation.
• This mask should be used only with CPAP or bilevel systems recommended by a
physician or respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used unless the CPAP or bilevel
system is turned on and operating properly. The exhalation device (vent) should never
be blocked. The exhalation device must not be used for any medical procedure.
Explanation of the Warning: CPAP or bilevel systems are intended to be used with
special masks with connectors which have vent holes or separate exhalation devices to
allow continuous flow of air out of the mask. When the CPAP or bilevel device is turned
on and functioning properly, new air from the flow generator flushes the exhaled air out
through the mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP or bilevel device is not
operating, enough fresh air may not be 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 or bilevel
systems.
Note: The mask includes an anti-asphyxia valve to help reduce rebreathing of exhaled air in
the event that the CPAP or bilevel device is not operating properly.
