PHILIPS Respironics DreamWear Patient Fitting Manual

DreamWear patient fitting guide
Follow the instructions to get started fitting your full face, nasal or gel pillows mask
Full face
Using the full face sizing gauge, hold horizontally under the nose and select the cushion size based on where the outer edge of your nostrils and
tip of your nose contact the gauge.
Note: Four cushion sizes (small, medium, large, medium-wide) are available.
The cushion opening will be directly under the nostrils. The
cushion will hug the nose and mouth, and leak will be minimal.
Note: At no time should the nose be inside of the cushion opening. If any part of the cushion overlaps the
nose, the cushion is being worn incorrectly. A different size cushion may be needed.
With the mask assembled, place the cushion under the nose.
Position the frame on the top of the head. Pull the headgear
over the back of the head.
Attach the magnetic headgear clips to the mask cushion.
To adjust the mask, peel the headgear tabs away from the fabric.
Adjust the length of the top straps. Press the tabs back against
the fabric to reattach. Repeat this step with the bottom straps.
Note: Do not overtighten the headgear.
Position the mask until it fits comfortably. When finished, the
elbow should rest at the top of the head.
Note: Please read the Instructions for use for further fitting information.

bases to sit comfortably under the nose without any gaps.
