Philips RESPIRONICS TrueBlue Mode D'emploi page 4

Note: The spring should only be slightly compressed when final adjustments have been
made. The spring is intended to allow the mask to float and self-adjust to the face. If the
mask is overtightened, it can hinder the mask's performance and seal.
Note: Do not overtighten the headgear.
Comfort Tips
• The headgear should fit both loosely and comfortably. If your skin bulges around the
mask, loosen the headgear.
• Reseat the mask. Pull the mask by the sides of the faceplate directly away from the face
then gently set it back into place.
• For pressure at the bridge of the nose, loosen the side straps.
• For pressure on the top lip, loosen the lower straps.
• If the headgear side straps are lying on your ears, adjust the headgear crown strap to
slightly lift the headgear off your ears. The headgear should lay flat against your head. If it
is bunching, adjust the headgear crown strap to allow the headgear to flatten.
• To help stabilize the mask, adjust the headgear crown strap. This will help keep the mask
from sliding down on the face.
Removing the Mask
Disconnect the lower straps by removing one or both headgear clips.
Slide the headgear over your head. The entire headgear stretches for easy removal.
Removing and Attaching the Mask Cushion
Removing:
1. Pull outward on the three attachment tabs on each side of the
mask cushion until this cushion separates from the mask frame
(Figure 8).
2. Remove the gel cushion and flap to allow for cleaning.
Attaching:
1. To replace the gel cushion, place the gel cushion inside the flap
and press into place.
2. Place the flap and gel cushion over the spring and press down
along the sides and bottom of the flap until it clicks into place. If
the spring is not correctly seated inside the flap, you may hear a
whistling noise when the airflow is applied.
Removing and Attaching the Forehead Pad
1. To remove the gel forehead pad, simply grasp the pad and
peel it away from the forehead support bracket (Figure 9).
2. To attach, place the gel forehead pad into the forehead
support bracket. Line up the tabs and press the forehead gel
cushion into place. The gel pad is correctly in place when the
tabs on the forehead bracket are over the white base of the
gel pad.
