Getting started with your ResMed AirFit P10 nasal pillow CPAP mask is a simple process designed for comfort and ease of use. Follow these steps to properly fit your mask.
Steps to Hook Up Your AirFit P10 Mask
Putting on the AirFit P10 mask involves two primary actions to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for effective therapy. Based on the fitting process demonstrated in the AirFit P10 fitting video, here's how you do it:
- Place the Pillows: Simply place the pillows in each nostril. The nasal pillows are designed to seal gently at the opening of your nostrils. Ensure they are seated comfortably and creating a seal without being forced too far in.
- Position the Headgear: Once the pillows are in place, slide the headgear towards the back of the head. The AirFit P10 headgear is uniquely designed with two bands that separate as they go around the back of the head, providing stability without needing adjustment tabs. The video notes that "most masks come with two bands," referring to this design feature of the P10 headgear.
By following these steps, your AirFit P10 mask should be positioned correctly and ready for use with your CPAP machine. The lightweight design and simple headgear aim to minimize contact points on the face for a more comfortable therapy experience.
For optimal results, ensure the headgear is snug enough to hold the pillows in place and maintain a seal, but not so tight that it causes discomfort or red marks.
