3. Disconnect one, or both of the Quick Clips. Place the mask cushion against the face by first setting the
base of the cushion under the lower lip then roll the cushion up the nose. Be sure the mouth remains
slightly open. Pull the headgear on over your head. Connect the Quick Clips if detached.
4. Using both hands, adjust the top headgear strap first by using the headgear
tabs on the headgear. The forehead pad should be touching your forehead
lightly. Adjust the bottom strap so that the mask is sitting gently on your face.
5. Connect the tubing that is included with your CPAP or bi-level device to the
swivel elbow on the mask.
6. Turn on the airflow.
7. Lie down and breathe normally. Be sure the mouth remains slightly open.
If the forehead pad does not rest comfortably against your forehead, tighten
the top headgear strap. If there are any air leaks make any final adjustments.
Some air leakage is normal. Do not overtighten the headgear.

Adjust the StabilitySelector on the forehead support arm to reduce leaks or reduce pressure points at the
bridge of the nose or above the lip. Follow these tips to adjust for leaks.
Leaks into the eyes
For leaks around the bridge of the nose or into the eyes, gently squeeze the arms of the StabilitySelector
and adjust to a lower position.
Leaks around the mouth
For leaks around or below the mouth gently squeeze the arms of the StabilitySelector and adjust to a
higher position.
Reseat the mask by pulling it directly away from the face and gently setting it back into place.
Headgear tightness
The most common mistake is overtightening the headgear. The headgear should fit loose and comfortable.
If your skin bulges around the mask, loosen the headgear straps. If you see red marks or the mask leaves
impressions on your skin, loosen the headstraps.

Please use one of the following methods to remove and attach the headgear
and the mask.
Method 1: Undo the four headgear tabs on the headgear and pull the straps out
of the slots in the forehead bracket and on the Quick Clips.
Method 2: Disconnect the Quick Clips and Forehead Support Arm: Pull the
Quick Clip ball up and away from the socket. Do not pull the ball through the
socket. Next, disconnect the forehead bracket from the forehead support arm by
pressing in on the center of the forehead bracket and then squeezing the upper
sides of the support arm together to disengage the forehead bracket.
Method 1: To reattach the headgear to the forehead bracket, thread the top
headgear straps into the slots in the forehead bracket and the Quick Clips.
The headgear tabs fold back to catch the headgear straps.
Method 2: Attach the Quick Clips to the mask by placing the ball against the
socket and gently press the ball into the socket. Press in on the center of the
forehead bracket and then squeeze the upper sides of the support arm together.
Slide the tabs into the forehead bracket until they latch into place.

1. Locate the air entrainment valve flapper inside the mask elbow and verify it
functions as follows: 1) With the airflow turned off, verify that the entrainment
valve flapper is lying flat so that room air can flow through the large opening
in the valve. 2) Check the air entrainment valve with the airflow on. The flapper
should now cover the large opening, and air from the CPAP or bi-level device
should flow into the mask. If the flapper does not close or does not function
properly, replace the mask.
Warning
•
A minimum pressure of 3.0 cm H
O (hPa) at the mask (CPAP or EPAP) is required.
2
•
Do not block or try to seal the large opening or the exhalation ports on the valve.
Ensure that the valve is not blocked with secretions and that the flapper is dry.
2. Open the headgear to a large size setting and adjust the forehead arm to the
highest position. To adjust, gently squeeze the arms of the StabilitySelector
and slide the arm upwards.
