Preparing for use
Assembling the mask system
The mask frame has two access
ports which should be plugged and
are not used except for initial
pressure setting by a technican. It
has a swivelling mask elbow which
allows the air tubing to be
positioned without kinks. The air
outlet vent allows exhaled air to
escape quietly.
The Modular Mask Frame (shown
right) has a detachable forehead
arm and T-Bar.
1 Before using the mask for the first time, wash the nasal cushion and air
tubing in warm water using a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Hang the
tubing to dry. Wipe all surfaces of the mask frame with a clean, damp cloth
and allow to dry.
CAUTION: Do not use bleach or chlorine-based solutions to
clean the cushion, mask or air tubing. These may
cause hardening and reduce the life of the
product.
Do not hang the air tubing in direct sunlight as
the tubing may crack.
2 If you are using the Modular Mask Frame, you may need to fit the forehead
arm and optional T-Bar. Refer to the User Instructions supplied with the
Modular Mask Frame.
3 Fit the nasal cushion to the
mask frame as shown
below.
• Fit the cushion onto the
ridge of the mask frame.
The two pins on the
cushion should align with
the slots at the bottom of
the mask frame.
• Make sure the cushion is
sealed all the way around.
