Before Using the Mask
WARNINGS
The vent holes must be kept clear.
Follow all precautions when using supplemental oxygen.
Oxygen flow must be turned off when the flow generator is not
operating, so that unused oxygen does not accumulate within
the flow generator enclosure and create a risk of fire.
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled
oxygen concentration varies, depending on the pressure
settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of application
and leak rate.
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your
clinician to check if they are compatible with the flow generator.
If used outside specification or if used with incompatible
devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective,
optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or variation in
the rate of leak, may affect the flow generator function.
Stop using the iVolve N2 if you have ANY adverse reaction to
the use of the mask, and consult your physician or sleep
therapist.
Refer to your flow generator manual for details on settings and
operational information.

Getting the Right Cushion Size
The following drawings are the different features of face. The
length of the nose is “N1”, and the width of the nose is “N2”.
There are masks in three different sizes provided for
comfortable therapy. “S”, “M”and “L”represent Small, middle
and large, respectively.
The mask cushion is designed shaping with men’s nose, when
the dimensions of patient’s nose are equal with the mask, the
mask will fit the nose at the most fit place. Otherwise, he should
choose another size.
Choose the smallest size mask cushion that is wide enough to
extend beyond the nostrils but does not obstruct breathing.
