Choosing the right mask
C
A comfortable, well fitted mask is one of the key factors to therapy
success. There are a number of different options available to suit
differing needs.
With innovative cushion designs for excellent seal and comfort,
our Philips Respironics masks are helping CPAP users get the sleep
they deserve.
Nasal masks
Nasal masks are
generally offered as
the first intention
mask. They are
generally smaller
and lighter than full
face masks and may
be better for higher
air pressure than
minimal contact
masks.
Minimal contact
masks
These masks may
be a good solution
if you feel claustro-
phobic or if you
are an active sleeper
who toss and turn
overnight or if you
have facial hair that
interferes with other
masks.
Full face masks
This mask may be
ideal if you suffer from
nasal obstruction or
frequent congestion
from allergies or cold
symptoms. It’s also
suitable if you
continue to breathe
through your mouth
at night despite trying
the nasal/nasal pillow
mask with a heated
humidity feature or
chin strap.

Note: Please refer to the User Manuals for a list of
all warnings and cautions.
Daily care of equipment
• Remove the mask/nasal pillows from the
headgear. Clean with warm soapy water; rinse
and air dry.
• Never use alcohol on the mask or nasal pillows.
It can harm the mask.
• Wash tubing before first use and daily in warm
soapy water, then rinse and air dry. Inspect the
tubing for damage or wear, and discard and
replace if necessary (refer to the humidifier
manual for how to clean the heated tube).
• Empty the humidifier and hand wash the
humidifier chamber daily in warm soapy
water, then rinse with clean water and air dry
to prevent mold and bacterial growth. The
humidifier can be placed in the dishwasher once
a week (refer to “Home cleaning instructions” in
the user manual for details).
• Change the water in the humidifier; always
use distilled water to avoid mineral deposit
build-up.
Weekly care
• Clean the reusable dark blue pollen filter at
least once every two weeks and replace it with
a new one every six months (refer to the user
manual on how to clean/replace/install filters).
• To clean the reusable blue pollen filter,
first detach the light-blue ultra-fine filter if
applicable, and set aside or dispose of as
needed. Then take the reusable filter to the
sink, turn it upside down, and run warm tap
water through the white filter media to rinse
away any debris.
• Lightly shake the filter to remove as much
water as possible, then air dry completely
before reinstalling.
• Wash headgear with warm soapy water, rinse,
and air dry. Headgear is machine washable,
but it is best to wash it by hand.
• Unplug the device, and wipe the outside of
the device with a cloth slightly dampened with
water and a mild detergent. Let the device dry
completely before plugging in the power cord.
• Inspect the device and all circuit parts for
damage after cleaning. Replace any damaged
parts.
Monthly care
• The light blue ultra-fine filter is disposable and
should be replaced after 30 nights of use or
sooner if it appears dirty. DO NOT clean the
ultra-fine filter.
In case of breakage
• Contact your home care provider if you have any
problems that you are unable to correct. Do not
attempt to repair your device by yourself.
Caring for your
DreamStation

Performance check device
screening tool
Performance Check is designed
to give you peace of mind, by
confirming your device is working
properly. The check operates the
blower and quickly screens the
device for any operation errors.
The screen then indicates whether
the device passed the check
(displays a green check mark) or
should be returned for service
(displays a red X).
Sleep progress
The device provides summary
information about your therapy
use each time the therapy is
turned off. The screen displays
your nightly usage for the last
3 sleep sessions (measured in
24 hour periods, ending at noon
each day). The most recent
session is displayed in the
right hand bar, labeled with the
number of hours slept. A green
bar indicates that you slept more
than 4 hours, and a yellow bar
indicates less than 4 hours of use.

Getting used to therapy is not

mask by visiting our website.
Additional help and tips
E
Check mask fit
This feature allows you to check
mask fit prior to starting therapy.
The device will deliver a test
pressure while the screen counts
down 40 seconds. A green bar
indicates good fit, while a red bar
indicates improvement is needed.
After the test, normal therapy will
start, and the screen will either
display a green checkmark or a red
“X”. The green checkmark indicates
that the leak found allows for
optimal performance of the device.
The red “X” indicates that the leak
may affect device performance.
However, the device will remain
functional and deliver therapy.
