attention to the vent holes in both cushion and elbow.
3. Thoroughly rinse the components under running water.

WARNING
• Magnets are used in the lower headgear straps and the frame of the mask. Ensure the
headgear and frame is kept at least 50 mm away from any medical implant (eg,
pacemaker, defibrillator, magnetic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt valve, cochlear
implants etc) to avoid possible effects from localized magnetic fields. The magnetic
field strength is less than 400 mT.
• The mask contains safety features, the exhaust vent holes and anti-asphyxia valves, to
enable normal breathing and exhaust exhaled breath. Occlusion of the exhaust vent
holes or anti-asphyxia valves needs to be prevented to avoid having an adverse effect
