How Should I Handle the Technology?

• Never open the device housing. 
• Never attempt to correct or to reset the pressure on your device by yourself.  If you have the feeling that the pressure setting is incorrect, please talk to your authorized dealer or sleep lab.
• Never treat your hoses and masks with a strong cleaning agent.  
• Do not place your therapy device on a rug or carpet, in dusty corners or in tight cabinets or cupboards. • If you do, the filter will require more frequent changing. 
• Be sure to follow the instructions for cleaning.
• Remember the next technical inspection for your device.  Write it down where you cannot overlook it, for example, on your kitchen calendar.
• See your doctor or sleep lab for follow-up examinations as recommended - only then can you be certain that your therapy will be as effective as possible.
