  - Do not clean your mask in a dishwasher.
  - Do not store your mask in direct sunlight.
  - The above actions may deteriorate or damage the mask and shorten its life. If there is any visible deterioration do not use your mask, but seek replacement part(s).
• Warnings:
  - Your mask should only be used with approved CPAP or Bi-Level equipment recommended by your physician or respiratory therapist.
  - Your mask should not be used unless the CPAP or Bi-Level machine is turned on and operating properly. The exhaust holes associated with the mask should never be blocked.
  - CPAP and Bi-Level machines are intended to be used with special masks, which have exhaust holes to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask.
  - Device switched on (with mask connected): When the CPAP or Bi-Level machine is turned on and functioning properly, new air from the CPAP or Bi-Level machine flushes the exhaled air out through the masks exhaust holes.
  - Device switched off (with mask connected): When the CPAP or Bi-Level machine is turned off, not enough fresh air will be provided through the mask, and exhaled air may be re-breathed. Re-breathing of exhaled air for longer than several minutes can lead to suffocation in some circumstances.
  - At low CPAP or Bi-Level pressures, the flow through the exhaust holes may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing. Some re-breathing of exhaled air may occur.
  Discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider or physician if the following occurs:
  - Mask discomfort or irritation
  - Allergic reaction
  - Do not use if vomiting or feeling nauseous.
  Use with oxygen: With your CPAP or Bi-Level machine, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the machine is not operating. Oxygen accumulated in your CPAP or Bi-Level machine enclosure will create a risk of fire. You should not smoke or be in the vicinity of someone smoking while using oxygen with your mask.
  - Only use F&P Eson 2 Diffuser spare parts.
  - Ensure the diffuser is completely dry before each use.
