Instructions for Use

(Note: The headstrap is not included in all packages and may be purchased separately.)

Intended Use The Comfort Classic Nasal Mask and Headstrap

are intended for use by adults (>66 lbs. / 30 kg) as an interface with Respironics CPAP or bi-level devices. The mask contains an exhalation port and

does not require the use of a separate exhalation

device. LATEX-FREE

Gel Forehead Spacer

Mask Cushion

Removable Port Cap

Exhalation Port (DO NOT BLOCK)

Swivel

Caution US federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of

a physician.

Warning Do not wear this mask unless the CPAP or bi-level device is

connected and the airflow is turned on.

Warning This warning applies to most CPAP devices. At low CPAP

pressures, the airflow through the exhalation port may not be enough to clear all of the exhaled gas (CO

) from the mask.

You may breathe in some of the air that you have exhaled. Do not block or otherwise try to seal the vent holes on the exhalation port.

Warning Some users may experience skin redness. If this occurs,

consult your health care professional.

Headstrap and Spacer Sizing

Putting on and adjusting the Headstrap & Mask

Important! Before using this mask and headstrap, unhook the tabs on the

headstrap and remove it from the mask. Rinse the mask

cushion and spacer to remove any dust that may have gotten onto the mask during shipping. Allow the mask to dry.

Spacer The gel forehead spacer provides support for your forehead while

you are wearing the mask.

The spacer has two different adjustable positions. To choose the position that is right for you, hold the mask gently against your face. If the spacer touches your forehead, it is in the correct position for you.

If the spacer does not touch your forehead, take the gel spacer off of the mask and turn it upside down. Insert the teeth of the spacer into the vertical slots at the top of the mask. This should help extend the spacer further away from the mask.

Step 1 Hold the mask gently against your face, and

slide the headstrap over your head.

Step 2 Connect the flexible tubing (included with

your CPAP or bi-level device) to the mask swivel. Turn on the airflow.

Step 3 Lie down and breathe normally

through your nose, keeping your lips closed. Unhook the straps and gradually tighten them until the mask has minimal leaks and fits comfortably. Do not

overtighten the headstrap!

Headstrap The headstrap has two sets of

tabs for better adjustment. The

black tabs are for larger sized

heads. For a smaller head

size, use the blue tabs. You

can remove the extra tabs with

scissors. Reconnect the headstrap to

the mask.

Before each use

• Inspect the mask and replace it if the cushion has hardened or is torn, or if any parts are broken.

• Wash your face.

Removing the Headstrap & Mask

Because the entire headstrap stretches, you should not need to unfasten the straps to remove the headstrap. Simply slide the mask and headstrap over your head. If necessary, unfasten either of the neck straps.

Helpful Tips for Mask Comfort

• Clean your face and mask thoroughly before each use.

• Make sure the mask is the correct size for your face.

• Do not overtighten the headstrap. Overtightening can irritate your face,

increase leaks, or cause damage to the mask.

• Replace the mask if the cushion becomes hardened or deformed.
