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
The mask (with headgear) is disposable and should be discarded if heavily
soiled. If the inside of the mask is lightly soiled, it may be cleaned by
wiping with a clean cloth and water. Do not disassemble the mask.
WARNING
Always follow cleaning instructions. Some cleaning products may
damage the mask, its parts and their function, or leave harmful
residual vapours.
CAUTION
• Do not expose any part of the mask or tubing to direct sunlight as
it may deteriorate.
• If any visible deterioration of a mask system component is
apparent (cracking, discolouration, tears etc.), the mask system
should be discarded and replaced.
• Discard the mask (and headgear) if heavily soiled, particularly if
the vent holes are blocked.
