(WHERE APPLICABLE)
WHO WILL BE GIVEN A HUMIDIFIER AT THE START
OF THE TREATMENT?

WHO MIGHT BE GIVEN A HUMIDIFIER LATER ON?
If, when already using a CPAP machine, you permanently suffer from
one of the following:
o
nasal congestion
o
nasal colds
o
a runny nose
o
dry sinuses and throat
These problems often manifest themselves at the start of the treat-
ment, but should disappear after a while (4 weeks).
HOW DO I CONNECT THE HUMIDIFIER?

The humidifier will start automatically when the CPAP machine is
switched on.
