Below you will find a list of tips that will help you wear your Comfort Series mask more comfortably and optimize your mask usage. As an informed healthcare consumer, you should be aware of the mask replacement benefits under your healthcare plan. If your plan does not meet your mask replacement needs, talk to your home healthcare provider.

• Headgear should be secure but not too tight. Tighten top strap first, then bottom strap.
  
• Final adjustment should be done while lying down with the air blowing at the prescribed pressure through the tubing and mask.
  
• Cushion should not be crushed against the face.
  
• Tight fit is not necessary for effective therapy. By tightening, folds are created in the material, causing a leak path. Try loosening the mask if leaks are present.
  
• Mark the headgear straps with permanent marker to remember where they should be fastened.
  
• Remove the mask by pulling over head or use the quick release clip.
  
• Do not block the exhalation port. It is necessary to clear carbon dioxide.
  
• Loop the tubing over the headboard to reduce pull on mask.
  
• Place the tubing under a blanket to warm the air.
