2002/96/EC is a European Directive that requires the proper disposal of electrical
and electronic equipment. This device should be disposed of separately, not as
unsorted municipal waste. To dispose of your device, you should use appropriate
collection, reuse and recycling systems available in your region. The use of these
collection, reuse and recycling systems is designed to reduce pressure on
natural resources and prevent hazardous substances from damaging the
environment. If you need information on these disposal systems, please contact
your local waste administration. The crossed-bin symbol invites you to use these
disposal systems. If you require information on collection and disposal of your

General Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
• Read the entire guide before using the S8 Escape II.
• Advice contained in this guide should not supersede instructions given by the
prescribing physician.
• A patient should not connect a device to the data communication port unless
instructed to do so by their health care provider or physician. Only ResMed
products are designed to be connected to the data communication port.
Connecting other devices could result in injury, or damage to the S8 Escape II
device.
• The S8 Escape II should be used with masks (and connectors)*
recommended by ResMed, or by a physician or respiratory therapist. A mask
should not be used unless the S8 Escape II device is turned on and operating
properly. The vent hole or holes associated with the mask should never be
blocked.
Explanation: The S8 Escape II is intended to be used with special masks (or
connectors)
*
which have vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the
mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from
the device flushes the exhaled air out through the mask vent holes. However,
when the device is not operating, insufficient fresh air will be provided
through the mask, and the exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of
exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead
to suffocation. This applies to most models of CPAP devices.
• In the event of power failure or machine malfunction, remove the mask.
* Ports may be incorporated into the mask or in connectors that are near the mask.
