Thank you for choosing the S8 ESCAPE™ flow generator. The S8 ESCAPE is a compact, all-in-one package with an inbuilt power supply and the option of integrated data management and humidification. This user manual contains the information you need for the correct use of your S8 ESCAPE.
CONTRAINDICATIONS The S8 ESCAPE is not a life support device and may stop operating during power failure or certain fault conditions. It should not be used by patients who are dependent on continuous therapy. Positive airway pressure therapy may be contraindicated in some patients with the following pre-existing conditions: • severe bullous lung disease • pneumothorax • pathologically low blood pressure • dehydration • cerebrospinal fluid leak, recent cranial surgery, or trauma.
If oxygen is used with this device, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating. If oxygen has been left on, turn off the flow generator, then wait 30 minutes before turning on the flow generatory again. Explanation: When the CPAP device is not in operation and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the air delivery tubing may accumulate within the CPAP machine enclosure and create a risk of fire. This applies to most types of CPAP machines.
ADVERSE EFFECTS Patients should report unusual chest pain, severe headache, or increased breathlessness to their prescribing physician. An acute upper respiratory tract infection may require temporary discontinuation of treatment. The following side effects may arise during the course of therapy with the CPAP device: • drying of the nose, mouth, or throat • nosebleed • bloating • ear or sinus discomfort • eye irritation • skin rashes • chest discomfort.
The S8 ESCAPE device is part of a system that consists of five elements: • S8 ESCAPE flow generator • Mask • Humidifier • Data management products • Accessories.
