Fitting steps

WARNING

•• Ensure that the nasal cushion does not block the nostrils at any time during fitting or use.

•• Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of the child’s bed. It could twist around the child’s head or neck while sleeping.

Fitting

The fitting illustrations show the sequence for obtaining the best fit and comfort when using the mask.

Pixi Hints!

•• If fitting the mask for the first time, we recommend the child be sitting in an upright position to ensure correct fit.

•• To avoid possible anxiety by the child, ensure all parts of the mask frame and headgear are kept clear from the eyes and eye area.

•• The child will best adapt to therapy if the mask is correctly fitted before the device is turned on.

1–2. Hold the mask gently against the child’s face, checking that the nose is fully enclosed by the cushion and the mouth is clear – pull the headgear up over the head. Move the middle strap down over the head until it sits across the middle of the back of the head.

3.Keeping your hand on the frame to maintain correct headgear position, bring the lower headgear strap behind the back of the neck.

4–5. Attach the lower headgear strap to the mask by holding the tab and hooking the quick release clip onto the lower headgear arm.

6.When fully fitted, the mask and headgear should be positioned as shown. Ensure the top strap is vertically aligned with the top of the ears and the middle strap sits across the back of the head horizontally aligned with the top of the ears.

7.Finally, connect the free end of the short tube assembly to the device air tubing.
