When connecting a new mask for the first time to an existing Machine and hose setup, it is important to ensure that the old mask is completely disconnected and that no parts of the previous mask are retained within the hose. This can occur when the old mask contained a quick release adapter or similar, occasionally, the small connection piece can be left behind within the hose which makes it impossible to connect the new mask to the hose. The following instructions are designed to ensure the mask and hose connection is correct.
Connecting a new mask to an existing machine/hose setup instructions:
- Remove the old mask from the hose ensuring there is nothing left within the hose connection point and the mask that has been removed is complete in itself
- Prepare the new mask including attaching the headgear and any other additional accessories, including strap covers etc.
- Attach the CPAP hose to the designated connection point on the mask
- Place the mask on your face and secure the straps
- Connect the CPAP hose to the machine and start the airflow and test the seal and connections
