Fitting
Notes:

A sizing template is located on the mask packaging to help you
determine the correct mask size.

Inspect the mask before use and replace it if any parts are damaged.

Do not overtighten the straps, as air fills the dual-wall cushion and
provides a comfortable seal.

For the best seal, the side straps should be tighter than the top strap.
1. Position the mask cushion over the patient's nose and mouth and pull
the headgear over their head.
2. While holding the mask against the patient's face, pull each of the
side straps back along the side of the patient's face. The straps should
pass below the patient's ears. The side arms on the mask should
bend back as you tighten the straps.
3. Gently adjust the top strap.
4. Start ventilation according to the ventilator system operating
instructions and connect the mask to the ventilator system.
5. If air leaks around the cushion, reposition the mask on the patient's
face to achieve a better seal. You may also need to readjust the
headgear straps.
Removal
1. Unclip the headgear from the mask using the quick release clip.
2. Pull the mask and headgear up over the patient's head.
Cleaning
WARNING
Always follow cleaning instructions. Some cleaning products may
damage the mask, its parts and their function, or leave harmful
residual vapours.
