pediatric mask
Thank you for choosing the Pixi Pediatric mask. Please read the entire manual
before use.
Intended use
The Pixi Pediatric mask channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device (‘device’).
The Pixi Pediatric mask is:
• to be used by children aged between 2 and 7 for whom continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel therapy has been prescribed
• intended for single-patient re-use in the home and single patient re-use in
the hospital/institutional environment.
WARNING
• This mask is designed to provide a stable effective air seal with
minimum headgear tension. High headgear tension may lead to facial
deformities with long-term use. Regular clinician review of growth
patterns and the use of different styles of mask is recommended.
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who
are unable to remove the mask by themselves.
• The mask may not be suitable for those predisposed to aspiration.
• If the mask is prescribed for children with serious congenital
conditions or cognitive impairments, then using a device with
appropriate alarms is recommended. The correct operation of the
complete patient circuit, including alarms must be tested before
commencing therapy.
• 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.
• Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen must not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open flame. Only use oxygen in well
ventilated rooms.
• The vent holes must be kept clear and must not sit against the nose.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the
mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
