3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and fit your OWILIWO Nasal Assembly Kit:
- Attach Nasal Pad to Frame: Carefully align the nasal pad with the frame and press firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure a secure connection to prevent air leaks.
- Connect Elbows: Attach the elbow connectors to the frame. These typically swivel to allow for flexible tubing connection.
- Assemble Headgear: Thread the headgear straps through the designated slots on the frame. The headgear should be positioned to cradle the back of your head comfortably.
- Initial Fitting: Place the assembled mask on your face. The nasal pads should rest gently under your nostrils. Adjust the top and bottom headgear straps evenly to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit. The mask should feel stable without causing pressure points.
- Connect to CPAP Tubing: Attach your CPAP machine's air tubing to the elbow connector on the mask.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on your CPAP machine to a low-pressure setting. Adjust the headgear straps further if necessary to eliminate any noticeable air leaks around the nasal pads. The goal is a comfortable seal.

4. Operating Instructions
Once assembled and fitted, the nasal assembly kit is ready for use with your CPAP machine.
- Wearing the Mask: Ensure the nasal pads are positioned correctly under your nostrils. The headgear should be comfortable and secure, holding the mask in place without excessive pressure.
- Starting Therapy: Turn on your CPAP machine. You should feel a gentle flow of air through the nasal pads.
- Checking for Comfort and Seal: Lie down in your usual sleeping position. If you experience any discomfort or detect air leaks, make minor adjustments to the headgear straps. Avoid overtightening, as this can cause skin irritation and reduce effectiveness.
- Breathing Naturally: Breathe normally through your nose. The mask is designed to deliver prescribed air pressure for your therapy.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning of your nasal assembly kit is crucial for hygiene and optimal performance. Refer to your CPAP machine's manual for specific cleaning agent recommendations.
Daily Cleaning:
- Nasal Pads and Elbows: Disconnect the nasal pads and elbows from the frame. Wash them daily with warm water and a mild soap (e.g., dish soap or a specialized CPAP cleaning solution). Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Air Dry: Allow all components to air dry completely out of direct sunlight before reassembling.
Weekly Cleaning:
- Headgear and Frame: Wash the headgear and frame weekly with warm water and mild soap. Gently rub to clean.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or drying the headgear, as this can damage the material.
Important: Do not use harsh cleaning agents, bleach, alcohol, or scented soaps, as these can damage the materials and cause skin irritation.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air leaks around nasal pads | Mask not fitted correctly; headgear too loose or too tight; nasal pads worn out or improperly seated. | Adjust headgear straps for a snug fit. Ensure nasal pads are correctly positioned and sealed. Inspect nasal pads for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Discomfort or pressure marks | Headgear too tight; mask size incorrect; improper positioning. | Loosen headgear straps slightly. Reposition the mask. Ensure you are using the correct size nasal pads. |
| Difficulty breathing or insufficient airflow | Nasal pads blocked; tubing kinked; CPAP machine issue. | Check nasal pads for obstructions and clean if necessary. Ensure CPAP tubing is not kinked. Consult your CPAP machine's manual or healthcare provider if the issue persists. |
| Mask feels unstable | Headgear too loose or improperly adjusted. | Tighten headgear straps evenly until the mask feels secure but not uncomfortable. |
