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.
