SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric

SleepWeaver® Advance Pediatric

The launch of the SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric Soft Cloth PAP Mask marks the development of a revolutionary interface for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) used in pediatric patients. This new configuration extends the range of SleepWeaver Products to include pediatric users with delicate facial features. SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric is indicated for use on patients between 2-7 year old.

SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric Disclaimer:
The SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric is CE-marked and is intended to provide an interface for noninvasive Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) ventilation therapy. This mask is intended for single-patient use in the home and single-patient use in the hospital / institutional environment. This mask is to be used on patients between 2 and 7 years of age. In countries not accepting the CE-mark, Circadiance will engage with local regulatory authorities to seek approval and ensure relevant laws and regulations are followed.

Note: There are NO magnets used in SleepWeaver masks that could otherwise interfere with medical implants.


 

About SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric:

Like our other masks, the SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric incorporates the revolutionary Circadiance soft-cloth technology that quietly inflates like a balloon to create an airtight seal. The breathable, non-allergenic mask is comfortable—and it eliminates leaks, pressure points, sore spots, and pinching. Our “loose fit” prevents strap marks, and the open-face headgear design accommodates eyeglasses and allows virtually unrestricted vision—great for people who like to fall asleep while reading or watching TV!

Circadiance warrants that your SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric Soft Cloth Nasal Pap mask and headgear shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase by the initial consumer. Circadiance does not warrant the tape used on the swivel.

Do you have a mask guarantee?

Will insurance cover the cost of a mask?

How long will it take for my child to become comfortable with the SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric?

Most patients report after the first night using our SleepWeaver products, that it is the most comfortable mask they have ever tried! However, it can sometimes take longer than one night to become accustomed to new equipment, especially if you are new to CPAP and Sleep therapy. Follow instructions provided by your medical equipment supplier. We also encourage you to view the Fit Tip videos several times, re-read the instructions and to call us for support if necessary (888-825-9640). Once you are comfortable with your new SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric Mask, you too will experience the restful sleep you have been missing.

In what position can the tubing be run when using a SleepWeaver product?

With SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric, it is recommended you place the hose down towards the patient’s chest, or off to either side. If you wish to direct the tubing over their head, i.e. behind the headboard of the bed, ensure that a sufficient length of tube is available so that no major kinks are in the tubing. Some PAP users connect 2 lengths of tubing to provide a longer hose which allows greater freedom of movement.

How do I clean the SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric Mask?

The SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric should be cleaned by hand washing with a mild nonabrasive soap in warm water every other day. Never use hot water. Repeat washing until visibly clean. Hand wash the headgear weekly. Rinse well with drinking quality water and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight.

Does SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric have an exhalation valve?

The exhalation “valve” on the SleepWeaver is a series of very small holes that gently and quietly exhaust the exhaled air from the mask. These holes provide quiet operation without creating a jet of air that make a lot of noise. The leak rate provided by the exhalation holes is comparable to competitive CPAP masks.

Can the exhalation valve get plugged or clogged?

As long as the mask is properly maintained and washed the exhalation valve will provide consistent exhaust performance.

Can my child sleep on his/her stomach while wearing the SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric?

Yes. The air pressure in the mask will keep the mask inflated without pressure points. The mask continues to provide CO2 exhalation as long as a portion of the exhalation holes are exposed.

Can my child read or watch TV while wearing the mask?

There is a small, unobtrusive, forehead strap that does not obstruct the field of view for reading or watching TV; therefore, patients who wear eyeglasses can read or watch TV with the mask on.

Can I travel with SleepWeaver Advance Pediatric?

The SleepWeaver (Advance, Élan, Anew and Advance Pediatric) product lines are the smallest and lightest masks for travel available. They fold into a very small size when not inflated so they will fit easily into any carrying case you would use to travel with.

Will the mask attach to any brand of machine?
