Once you have wore the mask, then turn on your CPAP machine. The pressure settings will have already been set by your doctor, so you should be able to plug-and-play.
When the machine is on, you will notice pressurized air coming through the mask. If you hear an air leakage from the mask, it’s a sign that you need to adjust it to tight better. Some CPAP machines have the “mask test” function to test whether there’s a leakage on the mask.
When the machine is turned on, you can decide whether to use the “ramp” function, which starts with lower pressure that gradually increases before reaching your prescribed pressure when you sleep. Some people like to ease into their sleep with the Ramp function while others like to have full pressure from the start.
