damaged as it will not be able to perform its safety function. The valve
should be replaced if it is damaged, distorted or torn.
The vent holes must be kept clear.
•
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
•
Any supplemental oxygen flow must be turned off when the flow
•
generator is not operating, so that unused oxygen does not
accumulate within the flow generator enclosure and create a risk of
fire.
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen
•
concentration will vary, depending on the pressure settings, patient
breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate.
The technical specifications of the mask and flow generator are
•
provided for your clinician to check that they are compatible. If used
outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and
comfort of the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not
be achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the
flow generator function.
Discontinue using the Mirage Liberty if you have ANY adverse
•
reaction to the mask system, and consult your physician or sleep
therapist.
Discontinue using the Mirage Liberty if you experience nasal irritation,
•
and consult your physician or sleep therapist.
Refer to your flow generator manual for details on settings and
•
operational information.
CAUTION
Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg. PVC tubing) directly to any
part of this mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can be detrimental
to the materials of the mask, and may cause the components to crack or
break.
Using the Mask
Select 'Mir Full' or 'Full Face' as the mask option when using the Mirage
Liberty with ResMed flow generators that have mask setting options.
Fitting the mask
The diagrams in section A on the illustrations sheet show how the parts of the
mask fit together.
