Step-by-Step Mask Assembly Guide

Assembling the DreamWear Under the Nose Nasal Mask without Headgear is straightforward, making it convenient for users to set up and maintain. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to help you assemble the DreamWear Nasal Mask:

Step 1: Prepare the Components

Start by ensuring all the mask components are available and within reach:

• Nasal Cushion: This is the part of the mask that sits under your nose.
• Mask Frame: The soft, flexible frame that extends around the sides of your head.
• Elbow Connector: This attaches to the top of the frame and connects to your CPAP hose.
• Fabric Wraps (optional): These can be added to the frame for extra comfort.

Step 2: Attach the Nasal Cushion to the Mask Frame

• Identify the Correct Orientation: Locate the small and wide ends of the nasal cushion. The small end should point upwards (toward the bridge of your nose).
• Connect the Cushion to Frame: Align the cushion with the frame and press gently until it snaps into place. Ensure the cushion is securely attached all around to avoid any air leaks.

Step 3: Connect the Elbow to the Frame

• Locate the Connection Point: Find the circular connection point at the top center of the mask frame.
• Attach the Elbow: Align the elbow connector with the connection point. Push it in until you hear a click, indicating it is locked in place. This elbow should rotate easily, allowing the hose to move freely with less pull on the mask.

Step 4: Add Optional Fabric Wraps

• Wrap Around the Frame: If you choose to use the soft fabric wraps for additional comfort, open the Velcro closures and wrap them around the frame where it contacts your cheeks. Secure them back with Velcro to ensure they stay in place.

Step 5: Adjust for Fit

• Place the Mask on Your Face: Position the nasal cushion under your nose. The frame should extend back along your cheeks to just above your ears.
• Check for Comfort and Seal: Make sure the cushion fits comfortably under your nose without any gaps. Adjust the positioning on your face for the best fit and comfort. While this mask setup does not include traditional CPAP mask headgear, ensure the frame sits snugly to maintain a good seal without being too tight.

Step 6: Connect to CPAP Machine

• Attach the CPAP Hose: Connect your CPAP hose to the swivel on the elbow connector at the top of the mask.
• Secure the Connection: Ensure the hose is securely attached to prevent disconnections during sleep.

Step 7: Perform a Leak Test

• Turn on Your CPAP Machine: With the mask in place, turn on your CPAP machine at your usual settings.
• Check for Leaks: Feel around the nasal cushion for any escaping air. Adjust the cushion or the positioning of the mask as necessary to eliminate any DreamWear CPAP mask leaks.
  
  

Additional Tips

• Regularly inspect your mask for any signs of wear or damage, especially around the cushion and the frame.
• Clean the mask components regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
