Mask Fitting and Comfort
Finding the right fit for the Comfort Gel

Proper mask fit is critical to ensuring that the ComfortClassic will meet the patient's needs. Below are some guidelines to follow when fitting a patient with a Comfort Gel Nazalmask.

Landmarks

a.) Sides of nostrils
b.) Bridge of nose zone
c.) Below the nose tip, above the lip

1. Begin with sizing gauge.
The integrated sizing gauge on the package:
  • Allows for quick and easy fitting.
  • Cuts down on mask waste by letting you determine the right mask size before you open the bag.
2. Check landmarks.

3. Choose the smallest mask that fits without
pinching or obstructing the nostrils.


4. Tighten top straps of headgear, then bottom.
DO NOT overtighten straps.


5. Try the mask on with the unit at the prescribed
pressure to ensure proper fit.
