Newbie with a question

Post by Barbie6e » Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:44 pm

Hi everyone. I'm brand new to all this apnea treatment (brand new as in getting my machine today). I have a Respironics Dream Station with a Nuance Pro Gel Pillow mask. I'm embarrassed to say my question is about which way is up when installing the nose pillow on the headgear. I watched a YouTube video and they said that when installed correctly the size marking of the nose piece will be on the left cheek side. I did that but then I have air flowing down toward my mouth. That can't be correct, right? Thanks for any help.
