Assembly

1. Push the mask elbow into the frame until it's completely connected.
2. Line the arrow on the front of the nasal pillows, with the arrow on the frame and push the two together until the connection clicks, then repeat for the other side. Make sure the arrow on the cushion lines up perfectly with the arrow on the frame. Misalignment can cause a reduction or failure in mask performance.
3. The headgear should be looped through the slots in the frame and fastened to desired tightness. The headgear should be attached so that both the Philips Respironics and DreamWear logos face outward.

Disassembly

1. To remove the nasal pillows, simply pull the ends away from the frame.
2. The mask elbow can be removed from the frame by simply pulling it out of the frame.
3. Remove the headgear by releasing the hook and loop fasteners and then removing it from the headgear slots of the frame.
4. If you're using the frame wraps, they can be removed by releasing the hook and loop fasteners.

Tips to Reduce Tugging on the CPAP Mask and Hose

Active sleepers should be aware that during restless sleep the elbow can become disconnected from the frame. The best way to fix this is by using a hose lift. A hose lift holds the hose away from the face during movement, preventing tangles.

Be sure to consult the hose lift product pages for helpful advice on picking out a hose lift system.

Philips Respironics CPAP Machine Resistance Information

The manufacturer of the DreamWear, Philips Respironics, has suggested that Philips masks work best with Philips Respironics equipment. For many of their Auto CPAP machines, the amount of resistance that is set is based on the type of mask the customer is wearing. For small and medium cushions the optimal resistance setting is X2. For large cushions, the best resistance setting is X1.

Where is the Nasal Pillow Size Located?

The sizes are printed on each nasal pillow. This mask ships with the selected frame size and the selected nasal pillow size. There are three sizes for the frame: small, medium, and large. There are also three sizes for the nasal pillows: small, medium, and large.

Where is the Frame Size Located?

Frame sizes are located near the top of the unit, by the elbow, printed in small gray lettering. The letters "SM" indicates that it's small. "MED" represents a medium size, and "LG" represents a large.

Compatibility Tips

The DreamWear frame can be used with all three versions of the DreamWear mask: nasal, nasal pillow, and full face. The headgear for the nasal and nasal pillow versions of the DreamWear mask are interchangeable. The headgear for the DreamWear Full Face Mask can only be used with the DreamWear Full Face Cushion and does not work with the DreamWear Nasal and DreamWear Nasal Pillow Mask.

How To Determine the Correct Frame Size?

The frame size can be found by measuring the distance around the head from one side of the nose to the other. Please review the following steps to find the correct frame size for your face:

1. Begin by placing the measuring tape marker at the base of the nose on either the right or left side.
2. Use the tape measure and follow along with the side of the face and upward over the top of the head.
3. Keep pulling the tape measure around the face, down the other cheek, and to the base of the nose on the opposite side.

Use these measurements to match one of the frame sizes listed below. It's important to note that your face will approximately fit one of these sizes:

• Small Frame - 19 Inches
• Medium Frame - 20 Inches
• Large Frame - 22 Inches
