SomnuSeal mask
Dear Customer,
The multi-use SomnuSeal™ Oral Mask allows a
single patient at home or multiple patients at a clinic
(hospital, sleeping lab, etc.) to undergo Positive Air
Pressure (PAP) treatment, provided that a physician
has prescribed PAP treatment.
The SomnuSeal™ is used to create the Positive Air
Pressure required to treat sleep apnea by
comfortably transferring air directly into the mouth in
order to keep the patient’s airways open.
Users can continue using their existing PAP
machine since the SomnuSeal™ can be connected
to any CPAP, Bi-level and Auto PAP machine, as
well as to any other PAP machine used to treat
sleep apnea.
Please read through and pay careful attention to
the following operating and maintenance
instructions.
Warnings indicate precautions and instructions
that may result in personal injury if they are not
followed.
Cautions indicate instructions that may result in
damage to the equipment or to the quality of
treatment if they are not followed.

made of medical grade silicone.
