Frequently Asked Questions

How will it feel when I am breathing with the S8 Lightweight II?

When you first use your S8 Lightweight 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 Lightweight 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.
