Care and maintenance
• Wash the mask parts in warm water with liquid dishwashing soap, like what
you might use when hand-washing your dishes. Do not clean the mask with
bleach, alcohol, solutions containing bleach or alcohol, or solutions
containing conditioners or moisturizers.
• Hand wash the non-fabric parts (the cushion and tubing) daily.
• Hand wash the fabric parts and lay them out to dry once each week.
• Use the headgear clips to put the mask on and take it off. This helps to
protect the integrity of the stretchy fabric parts.
Troubleshooting
Many troubleshooting questions can be answered by the instructional
videos posted on
www.dreammapper.com, www.sleepapnea.com, and
the Philips Respironics YouTube channel at philips.to/wisppediatric .
Finding the right size
• When a mask is selected for the child, the respiratory therapist, nurse, or
sleep technician may use a sizing gauge to help select the best cushion or
mask size to fit the child.
• This includes placing the mask or cushion on the child’s face to evaluate fit
when he or she is in the clinic, hospital, or sleep lab.
• The cushion should fit the width of the nose without blocking the nostrils. If
the child is on the line between sizes, the smaller size is usually tried first,
then the bigger size if needed.
• If the child is having problems with discomfort from the mask, or if it seems
too big or small, let your respiratory therapist or doctor know so they can
look into alternative sizes and resources for you.
Comfort tips
• If the child has a preference for a certain sleeping position, consider this
when choosing placement of the therapy device.
• The most common mistake is overtightening the headgear. It should fit
loosely and comfortably. If the skin bulges around the mask or if red marks
appear, loosen the headgear.
• Headgear clips are optional. If you prefer, you can thread the straps directly
through the frame slots to attach the headgear.
• The quick release elbow allows the mask to be temporarily disconnected
from the tubing without the child having to remove the mask. The elbow can
be quickly clicked back into place when the child returns to bed.
• Use of the optional tubing management loop moves the tube away from the
front of the body and reroutes it over the child’s head. You will not be able
to use the quick release feature to disconnect the mask from the tube if it is
looped over the head.
• When removing the headgear, it can be pulled up over the head either
headgear first or frame first, according to the child’s preference. Children may
accept the process more easily if the headgear is done first, pulling the mask
away from the face instead of over it.
