Intended use
The ComfortGel Custom Nasal Mask and Headgear are
intended for use by adults as an interface with Respironics
CPAP or bi-level devices. The mask contains an exhalation
port and does not require the use of a separate exhalation
device.
Important!
The ComfortGel mask is designed to fit comfortably on most
adults. However, because of differences in facial features,
some users need a customized fit. You can customize this
mask by re-forming the gel to fit your face.

Attention, consult accompanying documents.
Warnings
• This CPAP mask should be used only with CPAP
systems recommended by your physician or
respiratory therapist. A mask should not be used
unless the CPAP system is turned on and operating
properly. The vent hole or holes associated with the
mask should never be blocked. Explanation of the
Warning: CPAP systems are intended to be used
with special masks with connectors which have
vent holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the
100 LPM
mask. When the CPAP machine is turned on and
0.25
functioning properly, new air from the CPAP machine
flushes the exhaled air out through the attached
mask exhalation port. However, when the CPAP
machine is not operating, enough 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. This warning applies to most models
of CPAP systems.
• At low CPAP pressures, the flow through the
exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled
English
gas from the tubing. Some rebreathing may occur.

Important!
Hand wash mask before use.
• At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the
inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on
the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask
selection and the leak rate. This warning applies to
most CPAP or bi-level systems.
• If oxygen is used with the CPAP or bi-level system,
the oxygen flow must be turned off when the system
is not in operation. Explanation of Warning: When
the CPAP or bi-level system is not in operation and
the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered in the
ventilator tubing may accumulate within the CPAP or
bi-level system enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the
CPAP or bi-level system will create a risk of fire. This
warning applies to most CPAP or bi-level systems.
• Oxygen accelerates fires. Keep the CPAP or bi-level
system and oxygen container away from heat, open
flames, any oil substance, or other sources of ignition.
Do not smoke in the area near the device or the
oxygen container.
• Some users may experience skin redness. If this
occurs, consult your healthcare professional.
