Reassembling the Mask
See section D on the illustrations sheet.
1Twist the luer lock port caps onto the mask ports
2Hold the mask frame and the elbow firmly together
3To attach the elbow retainer, fit one side of the elbow retainer against the groove of the elbow. While holding one wing of the elbow retainer down
4Rotate the elbow retainer to its original position
5Check that you have fitted the elbow and elbow retainer correctly by firmly pulling the elbow away from the frame. If the elbow is fitted correctly, it should not separate from the frame.
If the elbow comes away from the frame, try refitting the elbow retainer as described in Steps 3 and 4. If the elbow still comes away from the frame when you pull on it, you may need to replace the elbow retainer with a new one.
6Fit the grooved edge of the mask cushion to the mask frame. Fit the top section first, then work your way around the mask, pushing the cushion onto the frame, ensuring a good seal has been achieved.
Then push the cushion clip over the cushion and onto the mask frame, ensuring it clicks into place in all locations
7Attach the forehead pads to the forehead support by inserting the pad plugs into the two holes on the back of the forehead support
8Connect the forehead support to the mask frame. Slide the pivots into the pivot slot on the mask frame
9Insert the headgear clips into the slots on the mask frame. The headgear label should face outward and be near the patient’s neck when fitted.
