If oxygen is used with the ventilator, the oxygen flow must be turned off
when the ventilator is not operating.
Explanation: When the ventilator is not in operation, and the oxygen flow
is left on, oxygen delivered into the ventilator tubing may accumulate within
the ventilator enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the ventilator enclosure
will create a risk of fire. This warning applies to most types of ventilators.
•
Please refrain from smoking while oxygen is in use.
About the Mask

The mask system does not contain latex, PVC or DEHP materials. If the
patient has ANY reaction to any part of the mask system, discontinue use
and investigate the possible causes.
•
ResMed has tinted the Ultra Mirage NV Full Face Mask elbow blue to
identify it as a non-vented mask for use with active exhaust non-invasive
ventilator systems only.
•
The mask has a standard female 22 mm tapered fitting (ISO5356-1) for
external connection to the ventilator.
