Before Using for the First Time
Please read and note carefully all the information and instructions provided in the Instruction Manual. Hygienic use of the Papil- lon nasal mask and product durability in accordance with the useful life specifications can be achieved only by strict compliance with these instructions. Do not use the Papillon na- sal mask if the packaging is damaged. Check that the complete package contents are present.

Safety Information
•The type of mask used affects the therapeutic pressure. The treating physician should therefore check whether the pressure needs to be adjusted if you were previously being treated with a different mask.
•Please contact your treating physician if you experience pain in the nose, sinuses, or ears after commencing treatment, or if you have an allergic reaction to any of the materials used.
•The nasal mask is suitable for pressures ran- ging between 4 and 20 hPa.
•To prevent exhaled air being rebreathed, it is essential that this air is always able to escape through the exhalation vents [13] in the mask cushion [12]. Before each use, always ensure that the exhalation vents are not blocked. Any deposits should be removed.
•When fitting spare parts, the colour of the mask cushion is important. Only
•The connection system for the Papillon na- sal mask must never be interchanged with the exhalation system of the Silent Papillon nasal mask.
