Frequently Asked Questions
How will it feel when I am breathing on the S8 Series II?
When you first use your S8 Series II, you may feel uncomfortable breathing
against the airflow. This is normal. You will continue to breathe normally while
you sleep. The EPR setting may also improve comfort. Take time to adjust to this
new sensation.
What do I do when I want to get up in the night?
If you need to get up during the night, remove your mask and stop therapy.
Always remember to restart therapy and put your mask on when you return to
bed.
What do I do if I feel air leaking out of the mask?
The S8 Series II delivers the most effective treatment when the mask is well
fitted and comfortable. Treatment can be affected by leaks, so it is important to
eliminate any leaks that may arise. For example, try repositioning the mask and
adjusting the straps.
If you are using a nasal mask, try to keep your mouth closed during treatment.
Air leaks from your mouth can decrease the effectiveness of your treatment. If
mouth leaks are a problem, a full face mask or chin strap may help. Contact your
clinician or equipment supplier for further details.
If you are using a full face mask and you have problems trying to get a
comfortable mask fit, contact your clinician or equipment supplier. You may
benefit from a different size or style of mask.
Anything special I should do before putting the mask on?
Before wearing your mask, wash your face to remove excess facial oils. This will
allow a better fit and prolong the life of the mask cushion.
Do not use moisturizer when wearing a mask.
My mouth feels dry during treatment—what can I do?
You may experience dryness of the nose, mouth, and/or throat during the course
of treatment, especially during winter. In many cases, a humidifier may resolve
this discomfort. Contact your clinician for advice.
My nose is irritated during treatment—what can I do?
You may experience sneezing and/or a runny or blocked nose during the first few
weeks of treatment. In many cases, nasal irritation can be resolved with a
humidifier. Consult your clinician or equipment supplier for advice.
