SUNSET TUB06HPR Heated Cpap Tube System Instruction Manual
TUB06HPR
Introduction
The Sunset Heated CPAP Tube is designed to prevent condensation of humidified air during CPAP treatment, also known as “rainout.”
When combined with a heated humidifier, the Sunset Heated CPAP Tube controls humidification by ensuring that air temperature does not cool prior to inhalation. This supports comfortable and consistent treatment.
The Sunset Heated CPAP Tube is manufactured exclusively for use with the Philips Respironics DreamStation and Philips Respironics System One.
1. Understanding the Heated CPAP Tube
1.1 Components
1.2 Indications for Use
The Sunset Heated CPAP Tube is a heated wire breathing tube intended to
provide warmed and/or humidified breathing gases before they enter a patient’s
airway. It is indicated for single-patient reuse in the home and in clinical
settings, such as hospitals, institutions, sleep laboratories, and subacute
care facilities. It may be used with non-invasive ventilation for adult
patients. It is compatible with the Philips Respironics System One Heated
Humidifier and Philips Respironics Dream Station Heated Humidifier.
1.3 Warnings and Cautions
Please retain these instructions for use for future reference.
-
WARNING: The Sunset Heated CPAP Tube is validated for use with two specific humidifiers: Philips Respironics Dream Station and Philips Respironics System One.
Do not use the Sunset Heated CPAP Tube in combination with other Humidifiers. -
WARNING: The Sunset Heated CPAP Tube used with incompatible parts can result in degraded performance.
-
WARNING: Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or permits spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
-
WARNING: The user is accountable for the compatibility of the Sunset Heated CPAP Tube and the humidifier and all of the parts and accessories used to connect to the patient before use.
-
WARNING: Always connect-disconnect the tube from the humidifier by using the grips on the cuff. Do not pull directly on the tube.
-
WARNING: To prevent disconnection of the tubing or tubing system during use, only use accessories in compliance with ISO 5367 or ISO 80601-2-74.
-
WARNING: Do not add any attachments to the Sunset Heated CPAP Tube, otherwise, the humidifier and its accessories might not function correctly, affecting the quality of the therapy or cause injury to the patient.
-
WARNING: When used routinely, check the tube daily for holes, deformation, or any other form of damage. When damaged, replace the tube immediately.
-
WARNING: Operating the Sunset Heated CPAP Tube close to other heat sources including lamps, electric blankets, etc., can cause elevated airflow temperatures that can affect the quality of the therapy or cause injury to the patient
-
