Mowell Nasal Cannula Oxygen Pipe

Insert the prongs into your nostrils

Place the cannula in as far as it will go. If the cannula is properly connected, you will feel a gentle flow of air. If it’s the proper size, the prongs should sit comfortably in your nostrils.

Lift the tubes and fit them over your ears.

Make sure the tubes that connect the nasal prongs to the oxygen delivery system are fitted snugly over your ears. This will help hold the cannula in place, even if you’re moving around or sleeping.

• If having the tubes looped behind your ears is uncomfortable, you may prefer to rest the headset behind your head. Instead of looping the tubes over your ears and under your chin, turn the cannula so the tubes go from your nostrils down toward the back of your neck, with the slider resting at the base of your neck.

Move the slider up the tubes to adjust the fit.

The slider is the small piece on the tubes which you can move up and down to tighten or loosen the headset. Push the slider up until it is just under your chin.

• The headset should be snug, but you still should be able to fit two fingers between the tubes and your chin. If the cannula causes indents in your skin, it is too tight.
