- Page 2 Support for families The Wisp pediatric mask has a fun, child-friendly giraffe print and soft, fabric materials. We have created a fantasy world featuring our cartoon giraffe character, Jacky, who interacts with his friends Sami the Seal and Tucker the Turtle.

Page 9: Troubleshooting
Many troubleshooting questions can be answered by the instructional videos posted on www.dreammapper.com, www.sleepapnea.com, and the Philips Respironics YouTube channel at philips.to/wisppediatric. Finding the right size • When a mask is selected for the child, the respiratory therapist, nurse, or sleep technician may use a sizing gauge to help select the best cushion or mask size to fit the child. - Page 10 Q&A What conditions is non-invasive ventilation (NIV) used to treat? • Non-invasive ventilation is used to assist with breathing air in and out of the lungs. • NIV is often used for patients who have developed problems with breathing, such as due to asthma, pneumonia, or an accident.
- Page 11 What do I do if the mask is leaking? • The mask is designed with holes that allow a small amount of exhaled air to escape. This is important, and these holes should not be blocked. If it appears to be leaking more than normal or if the machine is alarming that there is a leak, adjusting the mask may help.
