Warnings
Warnings are identified by the WARNING symbol shown above and alert the user to
potential serious outcomes (death, injury, or adverse events) to the patient or user.
WARNINGS:
Do not block or modify the vent hole(s).
To ensure sufficient air for respiration, do not wear the Breeze SleepGear

to clear all exhaled gas from the Breeze SleepGear. Some rebreathing and
inhalation of carbon dioxide may occur.
If you experience skin irritation, soreness or discoloration, eye
discomfort, gastric problems such as distention or bloating, nasal
irritation or dryness, excessive hair loss, or any discomfort from using
the Breeze SleepGear, discontinue use and consult your physician.
If oxygen is used with the Breeze SleepGear or CPAP machine, turn
oxygen flow off whenever the CPAP machine is off.
Cautions
Cautions are identified by the CAUTION symbol shown above and alert the user to
exercise care necessary for the safe and effective use of the Breeze SleepGear.

Pillows between the thumb and forefinger, insert the Nasal Pillows
into the shell holes with a gentle rotating motion.
3. DreamSeal airway configuration: Perform the following steps and
refer to the figure on the next page.
Attach the DreamSeal to the shell by inserting the lip on the
bottom of the DreamSeal into the notch on the bottom of the
shell.

Adjust the tension of the halo straps for a comfortable fit. Do not
overtighten the straps.
If using the optional clip accessory, adjust by first lifting the clip;
then, slide the clip to one of the three available positions along
the hose guide that provides the most comfortable fit.
5. Pressurize the interface with your positive airway pressure device
and readjust as required to eliminate leaks.
Notes:
The amount of force on your nose should be just enough to
prevent air leaks.
You may need to readjust the fit of Breeze SleepGear when you
lie down.
The use of humidification may improve comfort during use.

Cleaning
10 Breeze SleepGear
Caution: Do not immerse components with foam pads
attached. Do not sterilize. Do not use bleach-,
chlorine-, or aromatic-based solutions, scented oils,
or moisturizing, antibacterial, deodorizing, or
fragranced soaps to clean the nasal pillows, mask,
headgear, padding, or air tubing. Use of such
substances may cause hardening of your Breeze
SleepGear, thereby reducing the life of the product.
Caution: Do not expose the mask or tubing to direct sunlight.
Exposure to direct sunlight may cause deterioration
of the product.
5. Wash the nasal airway assembly parts in warm, soapy water as
necessary to remove dirt, body oils, cosmetics, etc. Rinse them
thoroughly in clean running water and air dry on a clean,
absorbent surface. Foam pads may be wiped with a mild soap
applied to a moist cloth.
6. To install the vent hole insert, align the indicator dot on the insert
with the dot on the shell. Press the vent hole insert into the
opening in the shell. Make sure the inner lip on the vent hole
insert is fully inserted into the shell.
7. If you are using the halo straps, release the ends and pull the
straps through the outrigger and cradle slots. The cradle may be
separated from the spine adapter for cleaning.
8. Extend the cradle (item 1) to its maximum adjustment and then
pull on the cradle more forcefully to separate it from the spine
adapter (item 2).
