Product Highlights

1. Minimal Contact Nasal Cushion

The DreamWisp Nasal CPAP Mask features a minimal contact nasal cushion that sits comfortably under the nose, reducing facial contact and minimizing skin irritation. This innovative design is perfect for users who experience claustrophobia or discomfort with traditional nasal masks.

2. Top-of-the-Head Tube Design

The innovative top-of-the-head tube design of the DreamWisp allows the tubing to move freely and stay out of the way during sleep. This unique design ensures that users can sleep in any position—whether on their back, side, or stomach—without feeling restricted or tangled by the tubing. The top-of-the-head tube placement also helps in reducing the pull on the mask, thereby maintaining a secure fit and enhancing comfort throughout the night.

4. Four-Point Headgear

The four-point headgear system provides stability and ensures a secure fit throughout the night. The adjustable headgear straps allow users to customize the fit for maximum comfort. This design evenly distributes pressure across the head and face, reducing the risk of discomfort and ensuring that the mask stays in place, even for active sleepers.

5. Clear Field of Vision

The minimal contact design and top-of-the-head tube placement provide an unobstructed field of vision. This feature is ideal for users who like to read or watch TV before falling asleep. By not blocking the eyes or forehead, the DreamWisp Nasal CPAP Mask allows for a more natural feel and easier integration into the user’s nightly routine.

6. Multiple Cushion Sizes

The Philips DreamWisp FitPack includes three cushion sizes (small, medium, and large), allowing users to find the best fit for their facial features. This ensures a secure seal and effective therapy.

Maintenance and Care of DreamWisp CPAP Mask

Daily Cleaning

• Disassemble the mask by removing the cushion, headgear, and elbow.

Replacement Schedule for DreamWisp Nasal CPAP Mask Components

Mask Cushion

Replacement Frequency: Every 1 to 3 months

Reason: The cushion forms a seal around the nose, which is crucial for effective CPAP therapy. Over time, the cushion can wear out, lose its shape, and become less effective at maintaining a seal.

Headgear

Replacement Frequency: Every 6 to 12 months

Reason: The headgear holds the mask in place and ensures a secure fit. With regular use, the elastic and Velcro can lose their elasticity and grip, leading to a less secure fit and increased risk of leaks.

Magnetic Headgear Clips

Replacement Frequency: As needed

Reason: Magnetic headgear clips are durable but can occasionally break or lose magnetism with frequent use. Replace them if they no longer hold the headgear securely or if they are damaged.

Mask Frame

Replacement Frequency: Every 12 months

Reason: The mask frame is the structural component that holds the cushion and headgear. While it is designed to be durable, it can become brittle or cracked over time due to regular handling and cleaning.

Elbow and Vent Assembly

Replacement Frequency: Every 6 to 12 months

Reason: The elbow and vent assembly direct airflow and diffuse exhaled air to reduce noise. These parts can become clogged or worn out over time, affecting the mask's performance and noise levels.

Tubing

Replacement Frequency: Every 3 to 6 months

Reason: The tubing connects the mask to the CPAP machine, allowing for the delivery of pressurized air. Over time, tubing can develop small tears, become discolored, or harbor bacteria.
