SleepWeaver Advance Nasal CPAP Mask with Zzzephyr Seal

The SleepWeaver now comes with an improved 2nd Generation Headgear. The headgear was redesign to improve mask stability and comfort. The headgear has an additional soft fleece layer. Easy to locate blue headgear tabs help with any needed adjustments.

Composed of cloth material, the SleepWeaver Advance inflates around the nose and pushes gently against the CPAP user's face. The mask's unique inflatable cushion balloons out when CPAP pressure is applied. The mask is attached to a three point headgear and requires minimal tension to maintain a consistent seal. Unlike most masks, there are no rigid components to prevent CPAP users from sleeping on their back, side, or stomach. The cloth is not sticky and allows the skin to breath through out the night. The unique design minimizes skin abrasion and helps prevent pressure marks from forming.

Noise and weight are both reduced in the SleepWeaver design. Even though air is inflating the mask, the noise is considerably reduced. Since there are no rigid buckles, clips or a faceplate on the mask, it can seem as if there is no mask at all.

The Zzzephyr Seal is a light, fine cloth that helps form a comfortable seal around the bridge of your nose. The elastic material cradles the nose and promotes fewer mask leaks.

You can watch the SleepWeaver Intro Video on the "Learning Center" tab to see how the mask works. These videos are also included with a free DVD with each mask.

1. Remove your SleepWeaver Advance Mask from the packaging.

2. Connect the tubing from your CPAP or Bi-Level machine to the Swivel Connector on the front of the mask.

3. Turn on your CPAP or Bi-Level machine at your prescription pressure.

4. When the mask inflates, hold the headgear with both hands, position the mask on your nose, and pull the headgear over your head. Make sure that the cup of the mask is centered over your nose, and align the Head Strap to the center of your head.

5. Pull the headgear over the back of your head until the Neck Strap is snug just below your ears.

6. If you experience leaks, adjust the mask as described below.

7. Lie down in your normal sleeping position. If any leaks occur, readjust the mask.

Adjusting for Leaks

If you experience leaks, try these steps:

1. With your CPAP or Bi-Level machine on and at your prescribed pressure, pinch the portion of the mask directly over your nose, pull the mask slightly away from your face, towards your feet, and gently release.

2. If you experience leaks from the sides of the mask, adjust the Neck Straps by unhooking the tab from the strap and pulling the straps out to tighten the mask, then re-latching the tab to the strap.

3. If you experience leaks into your eyes, adjust the Head Strap.

4. At times it is possible to stop leaks and get a better fit by loosening the mask just a bit, then repeating Step 1.

5. Each time you readjust your mask, take two to three deep breaths to help the mask adjust and form a seal around your nose.
