Making initial adjustments (continued)
Adjust both of the upper headgear
straps by using the tabs. Be sure that
they are tightened evenly and the
forehead pad is lightly touching
the forehead.
Making final adjustments
Connect the tubing to the swivel
elbow and turn on the air.
Identifying leaks
Raise the pressure to the prescribed level and turn the head from side to side
while lying on the bed.
Identify areas of leak that may prevent the ability to sleep.
Adjust the bottom headgear straps
by using the tabs. Be sure that they are
tightened evenly and the mask is
gently sitting on the face. Do not
over-tighten the headgear.
Make final adjustments while
lying down.
If the forehead pad does not rest lightly
against the forehead, adjust the upper
headgear strap.
Be sure that the headgear straps
are parallel and the headgear is fully
extended and flat across the back
of the head.
If necessary, adjust the bottom
headgear strap so that the mask is
snug but comfortable against the face.
Do not over-tighten the headgear.
