DreamWear Mask Use and Fitting for the Run-In Night
General Approach
1. Fit all subjects with the DreamWear nasal mask with under-the-nose cushion.
2. Check the mask fit using the aCPAP mask fit function as described on page 17 of this
manual. Adjust the mask accordingly.
3. If a subject
cannot use the nasal mask (e.g. uncomfortable, difficulty breathing through nose
because of nasal congestion), please visually show the subject both the DreamWear full face
mask and DreamWear nasal pillows, and have him/her select the preferred style. If the
subject has no preference, try the full face mask next. The full face mask contains magnets,
so do not select if this is contraindicated. Use the aCPAP mask fit function (pg 17) to confirm
fit. Make adjustments accordingly.
4. Use the fitted mask for the 15-20-minute daytime trial prior to the run-in night. Make
adjustments to optimize comfort.
