myTAP PAP

• First time wearing a mouthpiece? Those who are new to wearing a mouthpiece may take a few days to become accustomed to it.  Allow for some adjustment time.
• Mouthpiece too tight? The mouthpiece should be a snug but comfortable fit.  If too tight, hold under hot tap water for 15 seconds and re-insert.  Then, while in place, move the mouthpiece slightly from side to side.  This will loosen the mouthpiece around the teeth.
• Mouthpiece too wide or narrow? Warm water can also be used for small adjustments.  Holding the mouthpiece under warm water and spreading or narrowing the space can adjust the width of the mouthpiece.
• Pillows too close or far?  Alignment of the nasal pillows and mouthpiece can be adjusted using the bolt and screw.
• Experiencing leaks? Turn your machine on to fit the mask while under pressure.  Move the mask away from your nose as much as you can without it leaking. You will find it doesn’t need to be tightened as much as a regular mask.  That will make it more comfortable over the night. You can also adjust the rotation of the seals or change nasal pillow sizes to improve the seal if needed.
• Want to re-fit the mouthpiece? To completely remold the mouthpiece, repeat the boiled water steps.

• Each morning rinse the mouthpiece with cold water and allow to dry in an area out of direct sunlight.
• Weekly, wash nasal pillows and mask components in lukewarm water with mild soap.  Scrub mouthpiece with a soft toothbrush.  Thoroughly rinse all components and allow to air dry out of directly sunlight.
• Once a week, wash nasal pillows and mask components in lukewarm water with mild soap.  Scrub mouthpiece with a soft toothbrush.  Thoroughly rinse all components and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight.
• DO NOT wash mask or headgear in dishwasher or washing machine.  Use only mild soap that does not contain moisturizer, antibacterial agents, alcohol or bleach.

• A dental visit in the last 12 months is needed before using the myTAP PAP.
