4 Achieving the Right Fit
Cushion Sizing
Four cushion sizes (S, M, L, MW)
are available. Place the cushion
sizing gauge under your nose
(as shown).
Tip:
For the best
performance, use the
smallest cushion that fits
your nose.
1. Hold the gauge horizontally
under your nose and select
the cushion size based on
where the outer edge of your
nostrils and tip of your nose
contact the gauge. A mirror
or another person may assist
with sizing.
2. The cushion opening will be directly under your nostrils. The
cushion will hug your nose and mouth, and leak will be minimal.
3. At no time should your nose be inside of the cushion opening. If
any part of the cushion overlaps your nose, the cushion is being
worn incorrectly. A different size cushion may be needed.
Contact your healthcare provider for additional information.
