conditions where the system may get wet.
• This device is not intended for life support.
• The Transcend must be set up and adjusted by a trained provider before being used for therapy
ramp and pressure.
• The air temperature produced by this device can be as much as 10ºF higher than the temperature
of the room. Exercise caution if the room temperature is warmer than 90ºF (32ºC).
• Do not block or otherwise obstruct the exhalation ports of the interface. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions included with your interface.
• This equipment is not suitable for use with oxygen or in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air or oxygen, or with nitrous oxide.
• The Transcend is only to be used with the supplied or recommended accessories. Use of
accessories not recommended may result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of the PAP system and may be potentially unsafe.
• The Transcend is not defibrillation proof.
• Do not attempt to sterilize Transcend.
• The device should be used only with masks and connectors recommended by Somnetics or a
health care professional. A mask should not be used unless the device is turned on and is
properly delivering ramp or therapy pressure. The exhalation port(s) associated with the mask
should never be blocked. Explanation of the Warning: The device is intended to be used with
masks or connectors specifically designed to have exhalation ports to allow continuous flow of air
out of the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly air flow from the device
flushes the exhaled air out through the mask exhalation port. When the device is not operating,
however, fresh air will not be provided through the mask and exhaled air may be rebreathed.
Rebreathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can, in some circumstances, lead to
suffocation.

• Do not submerge the Transcend or power supply in liquid.
• Prevent water from entering any openings of the device.
