Activeforever Respironics Comfort Classic CPAP Mask with Headgear - Manual (Page 2)

Putting on and adjusting the Headstrap & 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!
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.

Headstrap and Spacer Sizing
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.
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.
