Choosing the right frame size
- Go to the sizing section in the user guide to determine which frame size is most suitable.
- For male patients, start with the standard frame size. For female patients, start with the small frame size.
- If the frame is too large, try the small size frame for a better fit.
- If you try the small frame first and the frame sits too close to your patient's eyes, size up to the standard frame for a better fit.
- If the frame is too small, try the standard size frame for a more comfortable fit.
Fitting
- Pull the mask frame and headgear over your patient's head so that the elbow is at the top of their head and the headgear is behind it.
- Place the cushion under your patient's nose and align the pillows into their nostrils.
- Tighten or loosen headgear until the mask and cushion fit comfortably.
- Squeeze the elbow's side buttons and pull the elbow away from frame.
- Connect the air tubing from the device to the elbow and then reattach the elbow to the frame.
Managing mask leak
- If air escapes the mask from anywhere other than the masks vents, you will need to locate the leak and try each of the following steps to correct it.
- Try wiggling the mask side to side to realign the cushion and the pillows.
- Try resealing the mask by pulling the cushion and pillows away from your patient's face and letting them settle back into position.
- Try adjusting the headgear straps to secure the cushion closer or further away from your patient's face.
Daily mask cleaning
- Take the cushion off the frame as per disassembly instructions.
- Soak the cushion in warm water and a mild liquid detergent, and ensure there are no air bubbles while soaking.
- Hand wash the cushion with a soft bristle brush, paying extra attention to the vent holes.
- Rinse the cushion thoroughly under running tap water.
- Shake the cushion to remove excess water.
- Leave the cushion to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Weekly mask cleaning
- Disassemble the mask into its components as per disassembly instructions.
- Soak each of the components (elbow, frame and headgear) in warm water and a mild liquid detergent, and ensure there are no air bubbles while soaking.
- Hand wash elbow and frame with a soft bristle brush and the headgear with your fingers.
- Rinse each of the components thoroughly under running tap water.
- Squeeze the frame sleeves on a clean towel to remove excess water.
- Leave the mask components to air dry away from direct sunlight.
Assembling the mask
- Ensure you have all the mask components and parts together.
