Optimizing Mask Seal and Comfort

To receive effective therapy it is important to have the best seal possible
between your mask and your face. If you are experiencing leaks, please ensure
that you have followed the fitting instructions carefully. Carry out a quick check
after fitting your mask:
•
Is the mask cushion creased? Creases can allow air to leak out of the mask.
•
Have you cleaned your mask cushion recently? Oils on the cushion can
affect the seal.
•
Are your headgear straps overtightened? Try not to alter the upper headgear
straps once they have been tightened by your clinician.
•
You may need to slightly adjust the dial. Note the dial setting when
comfortable.
•

If you cannot resolve any problems, look at the Troubleshooting section, or talk
to your clinician. You may require another mask size.
