1.
Before putting on the mask, make sure the Cradle Cushion is in an upright position (Figure
5).
2.
Place the cushion so that it rests underneath your nose. No part of
your nose should be inserted into the cushion. Your chin should
rest comfortably in the support band.
Comfort Tip
Position headgear in either slot to optimize fit and
comfort. For the Pillows Cushion, start in the back
slot and move to the front slot if necessary. For the Cradle Cushion, start in the front slot and
move to the back slot if necessary.
Fitting the Mask and Headgear
1.
Pull the elastic headgear on over your head. The adjustable top
strap should be placed comfortably over the top of your head so
that the headgear side straps rest just above the ears. The back
strap will sit at the base of your head.
2.
Adjust the side straps so that the cushion fits snugly and
comfortably in your nostrils (Pillows Cushion) or under your nose
(Cradle Cushion). Do not overtighten the headgear side straps.
3.
Adjust the support band so that it rests snugly against your chin.
Do not overtighten the support band (Figure 8).
4.
Adjust the angle of the cushion to achieve the best fit and
comfort by rotating the cushion backward or forward on the cushion attachment hub.
5.
Connect the interface to the tubing of your CPAP or bi-level device. Lie down and turn on
the airflow.
6.
Make final adjustments while lying down.
Headgear Fitting Tips
1.
If the side headgear straps are sitting on or covering the ears,
tighten the top strap to move the side straps up and off of the
ears. Re-adjust the side straps and chin support band for comfort.
2.
If the back headgear strap is sliding up on the head, loosen the
top strap and move the back strap down toward the neck. Re-
adjust the side straps and chin support band for comfort.
3.
If you have long and silky hair, place your hair over the back
headgear strap to help secure the headgear.
Cushion Seal Fitting Tips
If you experience leaks,
1.
Try a different size cushion.
2.
Verify that the support band is not overtightened on your chin.
3.
Move the headgear to a different slot on the interface.
4.
Rotate the cushion forward or backward on the attachment hub.
5.
Re-adjust the mask fitting while lying down.
6.
Review Tube Management suggestions for additional tips.
Removing the Headgear and Interface
You can quickly and easily remove the interface by grabbing the back headgear strap and
sliding it forward over your head.

Disposal
Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
