OUTH
If 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.

ASK
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.
If 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.
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.
