Warnings related to treatment

The SULLIVAN

Comfort™ bi-level system is designed to help you have a good

night’s sleep. However, you need to be aware of possible problems that may arise

during the course of your treatment. If you have concerns about any of these

problems consult your physician immediately.

• You may experience sneezing, a runny nose or nasal obstruction, especially

during the first few weeks of using your Comfort. This may need treatment

such as a nasal spray. Consult your physician for advice.

• If you experience any of the following symptoms during the course of your

treatment, consult your physician immediately.

- Headache

- Middle ear or sinus discomfort

- Chest pain

- Feeling slightly bloated. This is usually the result of excessive

swallowing of air in response to the pressure sensation from your

Comfort while you are awake. Using the delay timer may help but

contact your physician if symptoms persist.

- Dryness of the nose, mouth or throat. The use of a humidifier may

help. Contact your physician or equipment supplier for advice on the

range of humidifiers available and whether these are suitable for you.

- Air continually leaking out of the mouth while sleeping.

• Do not stop your treatment without the approval of your physician. Always

consult your physician if you expect to be in a situation where you cannot

use your Comfort for more than a few days.

• If any of the symptoms of sleep apnea recur during the course of your treat-

ment, consult your physician.

• If you are admitted to hospital or are prescribed any other form of medical

treatment, always inform the medical staff that you are receiving nasal bi-

level treatment. Make sure that your physician who is treating you for sleep

apnea is contacted.

• Skin irritation may occur from sensitivity to the material in the mask or from

too much tension in the headgear straps. A correctly fitted mask and optimum

tension in the straps will often prevent skin irritation. If problems persist,

contact your equipment supplier or physician for advice.

• If you experience an infection of the upper respiratory tract, middle ear or

sinus, you should consult your physician before continuing your treatment.

You may be advised to stop treatment until the infection has cleared. If you

continue with treatment during an infection, it is advisable to wash your

mask and tubing more often.
