GoodKnight 420G - Patient Manual iii
The Puritain Bennett GoodKnight
®
420G device (GK420G) is intended for treating
patients with Sleep Disordered Breathing including Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
(OSAS). The main characteristic of this pathology is the occurrence of multiple
respiratory events caused by contraction of the upper airways that disturb sleep. The
GoodKnight 420G delivers a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) that
prevents the upper airways from becoming obstructed thus eliminating apneas.
It is essential for you to understand the limitations on the use of this device. Therefore,
please read this manual carefully before using the GoodKnight 420G.
The information contained here is intended to help you use this device under optimum
conditions of safety and operation. For any question relating to the equipment and its

Your doctor has decided on the treatment of your illness. He or she has prescribed the
various parameters that the hospital or your home care provider will program. You
must not make any adjustment, except under direct supervision of your Home Care
Provider.
