Installing the Equipment
How do I install my computer?
The treatment system consists of a mask, a tube, the treatment equipment and the humidifier. Look at the treatment system to see if you can identify all the parts.
Knowing what to do (and what not to do) when installing equipment can make all the difference in treatment.
Below, Terapiacpap offers you some tips.
First be sure to place the equipment on a horizontal, stable surface, where it is not covered by books or clothing. The bedside table would be a good place.
Place it close enough to you so that you can reach the controls when you are lying down.
Allow sufficient space around the equipment and ensure that it is not too close to a wall or heater.

Adaptation to treatment
Once you have installed the equipment and feel good using it, it is important to track the progress of treatment.
Staying committed to follow-up is the best way for you and your healthcare team to verify that your obstructive sleep apnea is controlled and properly treated.
After a while, you may realize that your treatment needs have changed, which involves changing the mask or treatment equipment settings. Follow-up is also helpful so that the healthcare professional can see how you are responding to specific treatment and adjust it, if necessary, so that you can continue to get the most out of therapy.
