CAUTION
Only the circuit supplied by your HME provider may be used with
your device. Using a different type of circuit may reduce the
effectiveness of your treatment.
Option 1 – Single circuit
1. Connect one end of the corrugated tube firmly to the air outlet, as
shown in the next figure :
Figure 8: Connecting a single circuit to the device
Once your circuit is connected to the device, you can connect the mask
to the other end of the tube.
Option 2 – Single circuit with expiratory valve and
pressure line
1. Connect the air outlet firmly to one branch of the corrugated
tube .
2. Connect the expiratory valve tube (the only one fitted with a
white connector) to the valve control , then turn the connector
slightly to the right to make the connection secure.
3. Finally, connect the other tube (with no connector fitted) to the
pressure line .
Note: If your circuit configuration does not include a pressure line,
this third step will not apply.
