The device has not been tested or certified for use in the vicinity of X-ray, CT or MRI equipment. Do not bring the device within 13 ft (4 m) of X-ray or CT equipment. Never bring the device into an MR (Magnetic Resonance) environment.
The use of accessories other than those specified for the device is not recommended. These may increase radio frequency energy or be influenced by the interference and result in improper operation.
The device should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the device should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
Do not add any attachments or accessories to the device that are not intended for use in combination with the device, as stated in the instructions for use of the device or accessory, as the device might not function correctly leading to the risk of degradation or loss of ventilatory support.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 3.9" (10 cm) to any part of the device. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Do not use the device outside its approved operating conditions. Using the device above an altitude of 8500 ft (2591 m) and/or outside the temperature range of 41ºF-95ºF (5ºC-35ºC), may reduce the effectiveness of treatment and/or damage the device.
Do not use the device with water in the humidifier tub while in transit (eg, on a plane or vehicle) due to the risk of:
water spilling into the device
the inhalation of water during turbulence.
Make sure that the humidifier tub is empty before transporting the device.
Supplemental oxygen must not be used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
When using the device with an oxygen supply, check the following:
