8 Comfort Tips for Caregivers
• If the child has a preference for a certain sleeping position, consider this when choosing
placement of the machine.
• The most common mistake is overtightening the headgear. The headgear should fit loosely and
comfortably. If the skin bulges around the mask or if red marks appear, loosen the headgear.
• If necessary, adjust the crown strap to move the headgear off of the ears.
• Headgear clips are optional. If you prefer, you can thread the headgear strap directly through the
frame slot.
• The quick release elbow allows the mask to be temporarily disconnected from the tubing
without the child having to remove the mask. The elbow can be quickly clicked back into place
when the child returns to bed.
