Follow instructions provided by your medical equipment supplier. We also encourage you to view the “Fitting the Mask” video several times, re-read the instructions and to call us for support if necessary (888-825-9640).

With SleepWeaver Advance, it is recommended you place the hose down towards your chest, or off to either side. If you wish to direct the tubing over your head, i.e. behind the headboard of the bed, ensure that a sufficient length of tube is available so that no major kinks are in your tubing. Some PAP users connect 2 lengths of tubing to provide a longer hose which allows greater freedom of movement.

The exhalation “valve” on the SleepWeaver is a series of very small holes that gently and quietly exhaust the exhaled air from the mask. These holes provide quiet operation without creating a jet of air that make a lot of noise or can blow on the patient’s bed partner. The leak rate provided by the exhalation holes is comparable to competitive PAP masks.
As long as the mask is properly maintained and washed the exhalation valve will provide consistent exhaust performance.
