The anti-asphyxia valve is designed to open to atmosphere if the system
loses pressure. The user must verify the AAV is able to move between
the open and closed position before each use. The user must clean the
anti-asphyxia valve daily to ensure all secretions are removed and that the holes
to atmosphere are not covered or blocked. Do not block or disable the AAV.
Inspect all parts for damage or wear after each cleaning and before
each use.
