Troubleshooting

Problem

Tips

My new mask is 

uncomfortable; 

I’m worried I 

won’t be able to 

use it 

You need to get used to the mask. Try wearing 

the mask when you are awake as well as asleep 

so you start getting used to it being on your 

face. Please be aware that the masks are costly, 

and we will usually only issue one per year. 

The mask is 

irritating my skin 

Readjust the headgear straps. The mask should 

be comfortable on your face while still creating 

a seal. 

Please call us if you continue to struggle with 

the mask fit. 

Check the mask for cracks. If you find any cracks, 

please call the Sleep Disorder Centre for a 

replacement.

Wash your face nightly before putting the mask 

on and ensure it is dry — skin oil or cosmetics 

can interfere with the seal. 

Follow the daily mask cleaning instructions in 

this guide. 

My throat 

gets dry, or I 

get a stuffy or 

runny nose or 

nosebleeds

Adjust the heated humidifier settings in ‘my 

options’ menu. 

Try a saline nose spray at bedtime and when 

you wake up. 

Ask your doctor about prescribing a suitable 

nasal steroid spray. 

Try an oral antihistamine. 

This problem may go away naturally over time.
