Solution
Check that the nasal pillows with the left (L) and right
(R) indicators are inserted correctly (L into your left
nostril, R into your right nostril). Carefully follow the
fitting instructions. Readjust the headgear to ensure it
is fitted comfortably.
Squeeze pillow sides to release inner wall. The correct
position is shown in the reassembly instructions.
Talk to your clinician.
Clean pillows according to the instructions.
Adjust the headgear by pulling the headgear through
the buckle. Adjust only enough for a comfortable seal
and do not overtighten. You may need to adjust the
headgear as it stretches over time.
If the vent requires cleaning, use a soft bristle brush.
The vent may discolour over time and this is not a
safety concern. Follow the cleaning instructions in this
guide to maintain performance and safety of the mask.
Ensure the vent is dry after cleaning and in the case of
excess condensation.
