Mask-Fitting

The flow generator delivers the most effective treatment when the mask is well fitted and comfortable. Treatment can be affected by leaks, so it is important to eliminate any leaks that may arise.

If you have problems trying to get a comfortable mask fit, contact your sleep clinic or equipment supplier. You may benefit from a different mask size.

You can also use the Mask-Fitting feature to help you fit your mask properly. See “Using the Mask-Fitting Feature” on page 24.

Before wearing your mask, wash your face to remove excess facial oils. This will allow a better fit and prolong the life of the mask cushion.

Nasal Irritation

Dryness

You may experience dryness of the nose, mouth, and/or throat during the course of treatment, especially during winter. In many cases, a humidifier may resolve this discomfort. Contact your clinician for advice.

Runny or Blocked Nose

You may experience sneezing and/or a runny or blocked nose during the first few weeks of treatment. In many cases, nasal irritation can be resolved with a humidifier. Consult your clinican for advice.

Traveling with the VPAP Malibu

International Use

Your VPAP Malibu flow generator has an internal power adapter that enables it to operate in other countries. It will operate on power supplies of 100–240V and 50–60Hz. No special adjustment is necessary, but you will require an approved power cord for the region for which you are using the device.
