ResMed Quattro™ FX for her (headgear only)

Intended use
The Quattro FX/Quattro FX for Her channels airflow noninvasively to a patient from a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device.

The Quattro FX/Quattro FX for Her is:
• to be used by adult patients (> 66 lb/30 kg) for whom positive airway pressure has been prescribed
• intended for single-patient re-use in the home environment and multipatient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.

WARNING
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for users who are unable to remove the mask by themselves. The mask may not be suitable for those predisposed to aspiration.
• The elbow and valve assembly have specific safety functions. The mask should not be worn if the valve is damaged as it will not be able to perform its safety function. The valve should be replaced if it is damaged, distorted or torn.
• The vent holes must be kept clear.
• This mask should only be used with CPAP or bilevel devices recommended by a physician or respiratory therapist.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
Explanation: CPAP and bilevel devices are 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 or bilevel devices.
• 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.
• Remove all packaging before using the mask.
• Ensure the soft sleeves are fitted at all times during use.
