Hand wash the mask before first use and daily. The headgear should
be hand washed weekly, or as needed. The headgear does not need
to be removed for daily cleaning of the mask.

liquid dish washing detergent.
Caution: Do not use bleach, alcohol, cleaning solutions
containing bleach or alcohol, or cleaning solutions containing
conditioners or moisturizers.
2. Rinse thoroughly with drinking quality water and air dry out of
direct sunlight. Make sure the mask is dry before use. Lay the
headgear flat or line dry. Do not place the headgear into the dryer.
3. Inspect all parts for damage or wear; replace any parts that have
visibly deteriorated (cracking, crazing, tears, etc). Replace the mask
if the cushion becomes hardened.
For multi-patient use in the hospital/institutional environment, use

mask between patients. These instructions can be obtained by visiting www.sleepapnea.com

The System One setting is not compatible with masks requiring a separate/additional
exhalation device.
If your provider has locked the resistance compensation setting, you can view the setting but
cannot change it, and the screen will display a lock symbol. If your provider has disabled the
resistance compensation, you will not see this setting.
Attaching the Cushion
Your mask may come with a Cradle Cushion in addition to the Pillows Cushion. Both cushions
attach to the mask in the same way.
1. Look at the markings on the cushion to determine the correct
placement of the cushion onto the attachment hub (Figure 2).
The OptiLife name should be on the front (away
from your face) and the arrows on the cushion
and mask should be on the inside (closer to
your face).
2. To attach a cushion, place one of the cushion attachment holes
over the appropriate post, pull the cushion over the cushion
attachment hub, and attach the other side in the
same manner (Figure 3). The cushion will stretch
without tearing.
3. To remove a cushion, simply peel it off of the
cushion attachment hub. For best results, grab
the bottom of one side of the cushion near
the attachment post and pull the cushion over
the hub.
Sizing the Pillows Cushion
The OptiLife Pillows Cushions are available in multiple sizes to provide the most comfortable
fit and to deliver the best therapy. To determine which size to use, select a cushion that
fills your nostrils comfortably without any gaps between the cushion and the walls of
your nostrils.
1. Rotate the pillows cushion so it is at
an angle (approximately 45°) with the
cushion attachment hub before inserting
it into your nose (Figure 4).
2. Place the pillows cushion into
your nostrils. Your chin should rest
comfortably in the support band
(Figure 5).
Sizing the Cradle Cushion
The OptiLife Cradle Cushions are available in multiple sizes to provide the most comfortable
fit and to deliver the best therapy. In most cases, the sizing of the Cradle Cushion matches the
sizing of the Pillows Cushion. To determine which size Cradle Cushion to use, first determine
the correct pillows size to use. Then, use the table below as a starting point for the Cradle
Cushion.
