ENGLISH
Intended Use
The intent of the Chin Restraint is to restrict the mouth from opening during Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) treatment
and minimise air loss through the mouth. It can be used in conjunction with a wide range of nasal, pillow and cradle
mask systems.
The Chin Restraint is intended for single patient re-use.
If possible, have the Chin Restraint initially fitted by staff at your sleep disorders center or by your equipment supplier.
