Using the mask
10. Connect the flexible tubing (included with CPAP or bi-level device) to the quick release swivel.
11. Turn the therapy device on. Lie down. Breathe normally.
12. Assume different sleeping positions. Move around until comfortable. If there are any excessive air leaks,
make final adjustments. Some air leaking is normal.
Tubing Quick Release
The elbow is equipped with a tubing quick release for the CPAP tubing. Pull on the tubing quick release
and it will disengage from the elbow and come loose with the tubing
Comfort Tips
• The most common mistake is overtightening the headgear. The headgear should fit loose and
comfortable. If your skin bulges around the mask or if red marks appear on your face, loosen the
headgear.
• Re-seat the mask by pulling it directly away from your face and gently setting it back into place.

Removing the Mask

Disconnect a bottom clip or undo a headgear tab. Slide the headgear forward over your head.
