Warnings, cautions, and notes

WARNINGS

• Appropriate patient monitoring (e.g. oxygen saturation) must be used at all times. Failure to monitor the patient (e.g. in the event of an interruption to gas flow) may result in serious harm or death.
• Single use. Do not reuse this product. Reuse may result in transmission of infectious substances, interruption to treatment, serious harm, or death.
• The use (or modification) of breathing circuit/chamber combinations not recommended by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare may result in poor humidification, ventilator malfunction, or serious harm.
• Nasal delivery of respiratory gases generates flow dependent positive airway pressure (PAP). This must be taken into account where PAP could have adverse effects on a patient.
• Do not use product near any ignition source. Exposure to oxygen increases the risk of fire that may cause serious injury or death.

Failure to comply with the following warnings may impair performance of the device or compromise safety (including potentially cause serious harm):

• This product is designed for the delivery of air and/or oxygen. It is not suitable for the delivery of flammable anaesthetic gas mixes or Heliox gas.
• Do not crush, stretch, or milk the tubing.
• Do not clean or sterilize this product. Avoid contact with chemicals, cleaning agents, or hand sanitizers.
• Set appropriate ventilator or flow source alarms to monitor therapy delivery.
• Ensure there is gas flow through the tubing before connecting to a patient.
• Check all connections are tight before use.
• Monitor circuit condensate to prevent occlusion or build-up of fluid. Drain as required.
• The humidifier should always be level and positioned lower than the patient.
• Do not use the chamber if it has been visibly damaged or dropped.
• Do not use the chamber if any of the sensor covers are dislodged or missing from the chamber.
• Do not use the chamber if the water level rises above the maximum water level line.
• Do not fill the chamber with water in excess of 37 °C.
• Do not use beyond the 14-day maximum duration of use.

CAUTIONS

• Do not touch the hot surface of the chamber base. Failure to comply may result in a skin burn.
• Do not cover the circuit with materials such as towels, pillows, or bed linen. Failure to comply may result in a skin burn.
• Avoid leaving tubing in prolonged contact with patient’s skin. Failure to comply may result in a skin burn.
• Do not operate the chamber without water or gas flow. Failure to comply may result in low levels of humidity.
• The water source must be at least 50 cm higher than the chamber. Failure to comply may result in low levels of humidity.

NOTES

• Use USP Sterile Water for Irrigation, or equivalent. Adding other substances may have adverse effects.
• User may be exposed to breathing tract fluids during disposal. Breathing circuits must be treated as contaminated. Dispose of according to local, state or country specific environmental laws and regulations.
• If a serious incident has occurred while using this device, please inform your local Fisher & Paykel Healthcare representative and, for European Union member countries, the Competent Authority in your country.
