1. Before putting on the mask, make sure the Cradle Cushion is in
an upright position (Figure 6). For the Cradle Cushion, start the
headgear in the front slot and move to the back slot if necessary.
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.
Achieving the Right Fit
1. Pull the elastic headgear on over your head (Figure 7). 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.
Removing the Headgear and Mask
You can quickly and easily remove the interface by grabbing the back
headgear strap and sliding it forward over your head.
Headgear Fitting Tips (Figure 9)
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 forward 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 Sealing Tips
If you experience leaks,
• Try a different size cushion.
• Make sure that the chin support band is not too tight.
