'W'arnings
(y Cautions
CAUTION!
' US federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Indicatesthe possibility of
damageto the device.
WARNING!
Indicatesthepossibility
for injury to the useror
operator.
. This device is intendedfor adult use only.
. This device is not intendedfor lift support.
. CPAPdeviceshave the potential to induce rebreathing of exhaled
air.
Tb reduce this potential, observethefollowing:
- Use Respironicscircuit accessories.
- Do not wear the mask and headgear
for more than afew minutes while the unit is
not operating.
- Do not block or try to seal the vent holes in the exhalation port.
As with most CPAPdevices,at low cPAp pressures,some exhaled gas(co") may remain
in the mask and be rebreathed.
' Do not use this device if the room temperatureis warmer than 95" (35"
F
C). If thk device is
used at room temperatureswarmer than 95oF (35" C), the temperatureof the airflow may
exceed106" F (41" c). This could cause irritation to the patientts airway.
'This equipment is not suitable
Jor use in the presenceof aflammable anestheticmixture with
air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
' If you notice any unexplainedchangesin the performance of this
device, if it is making
unusual or harsh sounds,ifit has been dropped or mishandled,or ifthe enclosureis broken,
discontinue use. Contact RespironicsCustomerService Department and replace any damaged
parts before continuing use.
'Tb avoid electrical shock, disconnectthe power cord before cleaning.
DO NOT immerse the
REMstar Plus in any fluids.
' Pins of connectors identified with the ESDwarning symbol should
not be touched.
Connectionsshould not be made to theseconnectorsunless ESDprecautionary procedures are
used. Precautionary proceduresinclude methodsto prevent build-up of electrostatic discharge
(e.g', air con'ditioning,humidification, conductivefloor coverings, and non-syntheticclothing),
discharging one's body to thelrame of the equipmentor systemor to earth or a large metal
object, and bonding oneselfby meansof a wrist strap to the equipmentor systemor to earth.
When assessingthe relativerisks and benefitsof using this equipment,the clinician shouldunderstand
Contraindications
that this device can deliver pressuresup to 20 cm HrO. In the event of certain fault conditions, a maximum pressureof 30 cm HrO is possible. Studieshave shown that the following pre-existingconditions
may contraindicatethe use of CPAP therapy for some patients:
. BullousLungDisease
. Pathologically t ow Blood Pressure
. Pneumothorax
' Pneumocephalushas been reported in a patient using nasal Continuous
Positive
Airway Pressure.Caution should be used when prescribing CPAP for susceptible
patients such as those with: cerebral spinal fluid (CSF; teaks,abnormalitiesof the
cribriform plate, prior history of head trauma, and/or pneumocephalus.(Chest 1989;
96:1425-1426)
The use of CPAP therapy may be temporarily contraindicatedif a patient exhibits signs of a sinus or
middle ear infection. Not for use with patientswhose upper airways are bypassed. Should your patient
have any of theseconditions, a physician will determine if CPAP therapy is appropriate.

Accessories
WARNING!
Do not connect any equipmentto the REMstar Plus unlessrecommendedby Respironicsor the doctor.
Verify that an exhalation port is present to exhaustCO, from the circuit. If circuit accessories,other than
those recommendedby Respironics,are connectedto the REMstar Plus, pressuresmust be verified. Use oJ

WARNING!
If this device is usedfor multiple persons (e.g.,rental devices)a low-resistance, mainflow bacterinfilter
should be insnlled in-line betweenthe device and the circuit tubing. Pressures must be verified when
slternate or optional accessoriesare in place.
DC Power
The Respironics DC Power Cord can be usedto operatethis device in a stationary
recreationalvehicle,boat,or motor home. The Respironics DC Battery Adapter
Cable (when usedwith the RespironicsDC Power Cord) enablesthe deviceto be
operatedfrom a 12 VDC free-standingbattery.
Humidifiers
The Respironics REMstar Heated Humidifier and Pass-over Humidifier are available for use with this device. The humidifiers may reduce
nasaldrynessand irritation by adding moisture(and heatif applicable)to
the airflow. When using other humidifiers, verify that the delivered
pressure is correct and that proper therapy is being delivered. DC
power cannot be used to operate the heated humidifier.
Oxygen
Oxygen may be addedat the mask connection. Pleasenote the wamings
listed below when using oxygen with this device.

WARNING!
The oxygen supply must comply with the local regulations for medical oxygen.
WARNING!
A Respironics Pressure Valve (Part number 302418) must be placed in-line with the patient circuit.
WARNING!
Turn this device on before turning the oxygen on, Turn the oxygen off before turning this device off.
This will prevent oxlgen accumul.s.tionin the device.
WARNING!
Oxygenacceleratesftres.Keepthisdeviceandtheoxygencontainerawayfromheatropenflames,any
oily substance,or other sourcev of ignition. DO NOT smoke in the area near this device or the oxygen
container.
WARNING!
When administering fixed-flow supplemental oxygen, the O, concentration ma! not be constant. The
inspired oxlgen concentrstion will vary depending on the CPAP settings, paticnt breathing pattern, and
the leak rate. Substantial leaks around the mask may reduce the inspired oxygen concentrution to less
than the expectedconcentrations. Appropriate patient monitoring should be implemented.
