When the CPAPmachine is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the CPAPmachine flushes the exhaled air out through the attached mask exhalationport. However, when the CPAP machine is not operating, enough fresh airwill not be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed.Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can in somecircumstances lead to suffocation. This warning applies to most models ofCPAP systems.-The BreatheX device should be used only with masks and connectors with asuitable exhalation port as recommended by Hoffman Laboratories, LLC, oryour sleep professional. A mask should not be used unless the CPAPmachine is turned on and operating properly.-At low CPAP pressures, the flow through the exhalation port(s) of the maskmay be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Somerebreathing may occur.-Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (greater than 140ºF/60ºC)-Do not impact, pierce, crush or disassemble the battery. Dispose of thebattery thoughtfully, in compliance with local regulations, when battery isexhausted.-While wearing the device, you should NOT sleep facing down on the bed.-Keep the BreatheX device dry at all times.

Click Here & UpgradePDFCompleteExpanded FeaturesUnlimited PagesDocumentsBreatheX CPAP Device User’s GuideIntroductionOverviewContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has become the first line oftreatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). CPAP delivers a prescribed level ofpressurized air to the user and acts as an air splint to hold the upper airway openduring use. This therapy is safe and effective, and has been shown to improvesleep quality, daytime alertness, and quality of life.Learning how the device functions and how to properly fit the mask helps toensure maximum comfort and use. It is also important that you have access to asleep professional in case you have questions or concerns regarding treatment.The BreatheX CPAP device is an innovative product that allows more freedom ofmovement during use. The device is a battery operated CPAP unit, meaningthere is no power cord attached to the unit during treatment. The device usesonly a short tube between the CPAP unit and the mask, causing less pulling onthe mask than with a conventional longer hose. This can improve the mask fitand comfort, especially while you change positions during sleep.For further information about sleep disorders:American Sleep Apnea Association (ASAA)1424 K Street NW, Suite 302Washington, DC 20005Phone: (202) 293-3650Fax: (202) 293-3656www.sleepapnea.orgNational Sleep Foundation (NSF)1522 K Street, NW, Suite 500Washington, DC 20005Phone: (202) 347-3471Fax: (202) 347-3472www.sleepfoundation.org11
