8. If there are any air leaks, make any final adjustments. Some air leakage is normal.
Comfort Tips
• Re-seat the mask. Pull the mask by the sides of the faceplate directly away from the face then
gently set it back into place. DO NOT pull the mask by the exhalation elbow. This allows the
cushion to create a new seal on the face.
• Adjust the side headgear straps to eliminate leaks around the forehead and temples.
• Adjust the bottom headgear straps to eliminate leaks around the cheeks and chin.
• The most common mistake is over tightening the headgear. The headgear should fit loose and
comfortable. If your skin bulges around the mask or if you see red marks on your face, loosen
the headgear.
Figure 4
Removing the Mask
Undo one or both bottom headgear clips and pull over the top of your head (Figure 4). By
undoing the headgear clips, instead of the tabs, you will preserve your adjustments.
Replacing the Mask Elbow
To remove:
Hold the faceplate swivel and gently pull the elbow from the faceplate swivel
(Figure 5).
To replace:
Press the mask elbow into the faceplate swivel. Do not use excessive force or
any tools.
Warning:
The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your healthcare
professional to determine if it is compatible with your CPAP or bi-level therapy device. If
used outside these specifications, or if used with incompatible devices, the mask may be
uncomfortable, the seal of the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be
achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect device function.
