3. Setup
3.1 Assembly
- Ensure all components are clean and dry before assembly.
- Attach the nasal pillows cushion to the frame system by aligning the connectors and pressing firmly until they click into place.
- Connect the quick-release elbow to the top of the frame system.
- If using headgear (sold separately), thread the straps through the designated slots on the frame system.
3.2 Fitting
Proper fitting is crucial for effective therapy and comfort. Refer to the sizing guide to ensure you have the correct cushion and frame size.
Always confirm the correct cushion and frame size for optimal fit and seal.
- Place the nasal pillows into your nostrils.
- Position the frame system over your head, ensuring the top-of-head tube connection is centered.
