Transcend 3 miniCPAP Quick Guide
•
The Transcend 3 miniCPAP 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 mask. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions included with your mask.
•
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. Sources of
oxygen must be located more than 1 meter from the equipment to avoid the risk of
fire and burns.
•
The Transcend 3 miniCPAP 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 3 miniCPAP is not defibrillation proof.
•
Do not attempt to sterilize Transcend 3 miniCPAP.
•
If the device is to be used by multiple patients a main flow bacteria filter should be
installed in-line between the device and the breathing circuit tubing to prevent
contamination.
•
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 in operation, air flow from the device flushes 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.
•
Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or
permits spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
•
Do not position the equipment in bed. Covering breathing tubes with a blanket or
heating them can affect the quality of therapy or injure the user.
•
To prevent disconnection of the tubing during use, only tubes in compliance with
ISO 5367 or ISO 80601-2-74 should be used.
•
Strangulation hazard from power cord and air tube. These can become wrapped
around a neck and STRANGLE. Keep power cord and air tube more than 3 feet from
a baby's crib and out of baby's reach. Keep cord and tube out of children's reach.
•
Small parts are unlikely to be expelled from the Transcend 3 miniCPAP enclosure,
but in case of severe damage internal components may fragment and create a
swallowing or choking hazard if they get out of the enclosure.
