Invacare® Polaris™EX™
WARNING
All masks are equipped with exhalation ports which
MUST NEVER be blocked. Refer to the mask instructions
or your home healthcare provider for further informa-
tion.
4. Secure the mask with headgear to your face and adjust as
needed to ensure a comfortable yet secure fit.
NOTE: To prolong the life of your particular mask cushion, it is
recommended that you wash your face to remove excess facial oils
prior to fitting the mask.
NOTE: A minor leak around the lower part of the face is sometimes
preferable to overtightening the mask. However, any air leaks
blowing in the direction of the eyes should be eliminated as this may
cause eye irritation.
5. Rest comfortably in bed and adjust the air tubing by
running the air tubing either over the top of the
headboard, across your shoulders, or over your chest.
6. Set the final tension of the headgear straps while lying
down.
