Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly attach and adjust your DreamWisp Replacement Headgear to your nasal mask.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the replacement headgear from its packaging. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.
2. Identify Connections: The headgear has four connection points. Two upper straps connect to the top of the mask frame, and two lower straps connect to the sides of the mask frame.
3. Attach Upper Straps: Connect the upper straps of the headgear to the designated slots or clips on the top of your DreamWisp nasal mask frame. Ensure they are securely fastened.
4. Attach Lower Straps: Connect the lower straps of the headgear to the designated slots or clips on the sides of your DreamWisp nasal mask frame. These often use magnetic clips or simple loops.
5. Initial Adjustment: Once all four points are connected, gently place the mask on your face. Adjust the straps evenly to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. The headgear should hold the mask in place without excessive pressure.

Operating Instructions

Proper use of the headgear is crucial for effective and comfortable CPAP therapy.

• Wearing the Mask: With the headgear attached to the mask, hold the mask against your face and pull the headgear over your head. Position the headgear so that the top straps rest comfortably over the crown of your head and the lower straps are positioned below your ears.
• Fine-Tuning Fit: While lying down and with your CPAP device running, make small adjustments to the headgear straps. The goal is to achieve a seal without overtightening, which can cause discomfort or red marks. Adjust the upper and lower straps independently until the mask is stable and there are no significant air leaks.
• Daily Use: The headgear is designed for daily use. Ensure it is clean and properly adjusted before each use to maintain optimal performance and comfort.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper care will extend the life of your headgear and ensure hygienic use.

• Daily Cleaning: It is recommended to wipe down the headgear daily with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Weekly Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, hand wash the headgear weekly in warm, soapy water using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can damage the material.
• Rinsing: Rinse the headgear completely to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Air dry the headgear completely out of direct sunlight before reattaching it to your mask or storing it. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Replacement: Headgear typically needs to be replaced every 3-6 months, or sooner if it shows signs of wear, stretching, or damage, as this can affect mask seal and comfort.
