GENERAL WARNINGS • The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air. Explanation: CPAP and bilevel devices are intended to be used with special masks (or connectors) which have venting to allow continuous flow of air out of the mask.
Fitting 1. Twist and pull both magnetic clips away from the frame. 2. Ensure that the ResMed logo on the headgear is facing outwards and is upright. With both lower headgear straps released, hold the mask against your face and pull the headgear over your head.
