ResMed Chin Restraint User Manual

ENGLISH
Intended Use
The intent of the Chin Restraint is to restrict the mouth from opening during Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) treatment
and minimise air loss through the mouth. It can be used in conjunction with a wide range of nasal, pillow and cradle
mask systems.
The Chin Restraint is intended for single patient re-use.
If possible, have the Chin Restraint initially fitted by staff at your sleep disorders center or by your equipment supplier.
Mask
Fitting the Chin Restraint
The Chin Restraint shall be fitted before fitting the mask.
1 Fit the Chin Restraint over your chin so that the edge with the stitched 'V' mark is closest to your bottom lip.
Bring the straps up past your cheeks and fasten the Velcro
2 If necessary, adjust the straps to provide sufficient support to your chin. Ensure that the Chin Restraint is securely
fitted before fitting the mask over it.
Note: If you experience any difficulty with the fitting of the Chin Restraint, consult your physician
or equipment supplier.
