17General Warnings and Cautions
English
Note: At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration
varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of
application and leak rate.
Do not use the S8 Auto 25 if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes
in performance.
Do not open the S8 case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs and internal
servicing should only be performed by an authorised service agent.
Explosion hazard—do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.

Cautions
At low pressures, the flow through the exhalation ports of your mask may not clear all
exhaled gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.
The airflow for breathing produced by this device can be as much as 11ºF (6ºC) higher
than the temperature of the room. Caution should be exercised if the room temperature
is warmer than 90ºF (32ºC).
When AC mains power (100–240V AC) is not available, always use a ResMed DC/DC
Converter 24V/50W. (The DC/DC Converter 24V/50W is available as an optional
accessory. It is not supplied with all models.)
Note: The above are general warnings and cautions. Specific warnings, cautions and
notes appear with the relevant instructions in the manual.
