CAUTION– Never rinse or place the device in water. Never allow liquids to get into
or around any of the ports, switches or air filter; doing so will result in
device damage. If this occurs, discontinue use and remove the power
cord from the power source. Allow the device to completely dry before
use.
CAUTION– Do not place the SleepCube where it can be bumped onto the floor or
where the power cord may create a trip hazard.
CAUTION– Only the DeVilbiss DV5 series Heated Humidifier system is
recommended for use with the SleepCube. Other humidifier systems
may prevent the device from detecting snoring and may cause
inappropriate pressure levels in the mask.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The DeVilbiss® SleepCube™ Model DV5 Series is intended for use in treating obstructive
sleep apnea in patients 66 lbs/30 kg and above.
Contraindications
Positive airway pressure therapy may be contraindicated in some patients with the following
pre-existing conditions:
• severe bullous lung disease
• pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
• pathologically low blood pressure, particularly if associated with intravascular volume
depletion
• dehydration
• cerebrospinal fluid leak, recent cranial surgery or trauma
NOTE–
Symptoms of dryness of the throat, nasal passages, and the mouth are common with
positive airway pressure therapy. This is especially true in dry climates and during the
cold season when humidity in the air is typically lower than at other times. The
SleepCube features an optional humidifier system to help minimize these effects.
