The flow generator delivers the most effective treatment when the mask is well fitted
and comfortable. Treatment can be affected by leaks, so it is important to eliminate
any leaks that may arise. For example, try repositioning the mask and adjusting the
straps.
If you are using a nasal mask, try to keep your mouth closed during treatment. Air leaks
from your mouth can decrease the effectiveness of your treatment. If mouth leaks are
a problem, a full face mask or chin strap may help. Contact your clinician or equipment
supplier for further details.
If you are using a full face mask and you have problems trying to get a comfortable
mask fit, contact your sleep clinic or equipment supplier. You may benefit from a
different size or style of mask.
You can also use the mask-fitting feature to help you fit your mask properly. See "Using
the Mask-Fitting Feature" on page 13
A
NYTHING SPECIAL
Before wearing your mask, wash your face to remove excess facial oils. This will allow
a better fit and prolong the life of the mask cushion.
Do not use moisturizer when wearing a mask.
