Helpful Hints

Starting Out
Mouth Leaks
When using a nasal mask, try to keep your mouth closed during treatment. Air
leaks from your mouth can decrease the effectiveness of your treatment. If
mouth leaks are a problem, a full face mask or chin strap may help. Contact your
clinician or equipment supplier for further details.
Mask-Fitting
The flow generator delivers the most effective treatment when the mask is well
fitted and comfortable. Treatment can be affected by leaks, so it is important to
eliminate any leaks that may arise.
If you have problems trying to get a comfortable mask fit, contact your sleep
clinic or equipment supplier. You may benefit from a different mask size.
You can also use the Mask-Fitting feature to help you fit your mask properly. See
"Using the Mask-Fitting Feature" on page 13.
Before wearing your mask, wash your face to remove excess facial oils. This will
allow a better fit and prolong the life of the mask cushion.
Nasal Irritation
Dryness
You may experience dryness of the nose, mouth, and/or throat during the course
of treatment, especially during winter. In many cases, a humidifier may resolve
this discomfort. Contact your clinician for advice.
