If you use a nasal mask, please avoid breathing with your mouth open during treatment. Air leakage from the mouth will reduce the therapeutic effect.

If you are using a full face mask and you cannot find a comfortable way to wear it, please contact your doctor or equipment supplier. Different sizes and styles of masks may be suitable for you.
In addition, please wash your face before wearing the mask to remove facial grease, which will help to wear comfortably and prolong the life of the mask pad. Please do not wear the mask when it is not dry.
