Good day all,
I have been having difficulty controlling my AHI's and understand that improper wearing of
your mask may be the culprit. I seem to have a difficult time getting the mask to seal without it being very tight on my face. Are there any instructions available that show the proper way to wear the mask and check for leaks etc?

Re: Instructions for mirage quattro full face mask
The key is not to have it too tight. Its all trial and error Im afraid but dont leave it till night time. Why not jump on the bed after dinner or when time suits put your mask on and try different tightness on the straps and adjust your mask placing. Doing this in the daytime when you have the time is alot easier than waiting till your ready for bed and tired. Hope this helps

Re: Instructions for mirage quattro full face mask
I'd also suggest purchasing a mask liner from padacheek.com
It helps tremendously with the comfort of the mask.

Re: Instructions for mirage quattro full face mask
I had a terrible time adjusting the Quattro full face mask. I switched to the Quattro FX which has minimal adjustments. It worked great the first time I used it.
It works even better now since I got the Pad A Cheek liner for it.
