Frequently Asked Questions
How will it feel when I am breathing with the S8 Lightweight II?
When you first use your S8 Lightweight II, you may feel uncomfortable breathing
against the airflow. This is normal. You will continue to breathe normally while
you sleep. The EPR setting may also improve comfort. Take time to adjust to this
new sensation.
What do I do when I want to get up in the night?
If you need to get up during the night, remove your mask and stop therapy.
Always remember to restart therapy and put your mask on when you return to
bed.
What do I do if I feel air leaking out of the mask?
The S8 Lightweight II delivers the most effective treatment when the mask is
well fitted and comfortable. Treatment can be affected by leaks, so it is important
to eliminate any leaks that may arise. For example, try repositioning the mask
and adjusting the straps.
If you are using a nasal mask, try to keep your mouth closed during treatment.
Air leaks from your mouth can decrease the effectiveness of your treatment. If
mouth leaks are a problem, a full face mask or chin strap may help. Contact your
clinician or equipment supplier for further details.
If you are using a full face mask and you have problems trying to get a
comfortable mask fit, contact your clinician or equipment supplier. You may
benefit from a different size or style of mask.
