Resumen del manual
Do not pull on the mask. • Follow the instructions on regular cleaning of the mask to prevent possible respiratory tract infections. • The Papillon nasal mask may be used only for nasal positive airway pressure therapy (nCPAP or biLEVEL). • Do not use or repair a defective mask. Use original spare parts only. Fitting the Nasal Mask Always wash your face and hands before using the mask. a) [Fig. C] Insert the tubing connector [2] into the air tubing [1]. b) [Fig. D] Thread the strap of the clip fastener [18] through one of the lower slots [9] for the headgear. c) Lay out the AeroFix II headgear [20] in front of you, so that the side with the washing instructions is facing away from you. The longer straps should be at the top and the shorter ones at the bottom. d) [Fig. E] Open the Velcro fasteners on the AeroFix II headgear and thread the ends through the appropriate slots [9] on the mask frame and clip fastener. Always thread from the inside and close the Velcro fasteners on the outer side of the straps. e) [Fig. E] Optional: attach the middle of each upper strap with the AeroFix® plus tubing clip [19], available separately. f) [Fig. F] Stand in front of a mirror and hold the nasal mask on your face using one hand. With the other hand, pull the headgear over your head with the clip fastener open. g) [Fig. G] Close the clip fastener and readjust the ends of the headgear one by one so that they are even. Ensure that the upper straps are at the same height above each ear. The lower straps must be below the ears. The saddle part of the headgear should be centered at the back of your head. h) [Fig. H] Push the tubing connector together with the air tubing onto the angled adapter [3]. Optional: then secure the air tubing to your head using the Velcro fastener of the AeroFix plus tubing clip. i) Switch your respiratory therapy device on and get into bed, in order to make sure the mask is fitted correctly. j) The mask should not pinch, and should not leave any pressure marks. No air should be able to escape between the skin and the mask cushion. Use the headgear to adjust the fit of your Papillon nasal mask accordingly. k) [Fig. I] It is also possible to adjust the angle between the frame base [11] and the forehead frame [7]. There are four possible positions [16]. To make the adjustment, take off the mask and squeeze the hinge grip [17] with one hand while adjusting the position of the forehead frame with the other hand. If necessary, you can also attach the forehead pad [8] onto the upper mounting holes [6] of the forehead frame. Disassembly of the Nasal Mask a) [Fig. A] Grip the tubing connector [2] and detach it from the angled adapter [3] by snapping it off to the side. b) Push the mask cushion [12] backwards out of the frame base [11]. c) Remove the forehead pad [8] from the forehead frame [7]. d) Detach the angled adapter from the mask frame [10] by twisting the adapter anti- clockwise, unlocking it, and pulling it out. e) Remove the connector cover [5] from the angled adapter. f) Detach the forehead frame from the frame base by squeezing the hinge grip [17] while pulling the forehead frame out backwards along the guide rail. Assembly a) [Fig. A] Squeeze the hinge grip [17] and push the forehead frame [7] into the guide rail of the frame base [11]. b) [Fig. A] Push the connector cover [5] onto the connectors for external pressure measurement and administering oxygen [4] on the angled adapter [3]. c) [Fig. B-a] Push the angled adapter from above into the round opening of the frame base. Insert the two different-sized catches into the corresponding slots. Lock the angled adapter by turning it clockwise to the limit stop. d) [Fig. A] Push the mask cushion [12] from the rear through the frame base until it is below the angled adapter. Push the round opening on the upper part of the mask cushion as far as possible over the angled adapter. There is a groove below the six exhalation vents [13]. This groove must lock onto the frame [Fig. B-b]. Be careful to ensure that the tongue joints [14] snap into the corresponding groove joints [15] on the sides of the mask cushion [Fig. B-c]. e) [Fig. A] Press the two pegs on the forehead pad [8] from the rear into the lower mounting holes [6] of the forehead frame. Cleaning and Care in the Home Environment For reasons of hygiene, the nasal mask must be cleaned every day. Wash your hands before cleaning the nasal mask, and always clean and rinse the mask with drinking- quality water. Never use soap, chlorinated, corrosive, or abrasive products, or cleaning agents with a high alcohol content, since these may damage the material. Never use metal brushes or steel wool. Cleaning Clean all components of the nasal mask daily after use with a warm (approx. 30 °C), mild dishwashing solution for about 5 minutes. For effective cleaning, take the mask apart as described in the “Disassembly of the Nasal Mask” section. Remove any deposits from the exhalation vents [13]. For optimum cleanin...
