Incorrect bonnet position
1. The bonnet is seated too high on the forehead.
2. The support attachment pad is not midline to the
nasal profile.
Corrective action: Reposition the bonnet. The side of
the bonnet should cover the infant’s ears, and the front
of the bonnet should sit at the brow line.
Incorrect exhaust tube position
3. The support strap is not wrapped over the exhaust tube.
4. The exhaust tubing pulls forward, away from
the infant.
Corrective action: Reposition the support strap. The
exhaust tube should sit on top of the support cradle
with the securing strap around it. Ensure the slit in the
securing strap is over the corrugate.
Remove the support cradle, and reposition it in the
middle of the forehead and center straps.
Incorrect bonnet size
5. The bonnet is too small, not covering the infant’s ears
and sitting too high on the forehead. The side strap lies
too close to the eyes.
6. The headgear is too large. Excessive material is causing
folds to occur.
Corrective action: Recheck the head measurements.
Measure from the center of the forehead to the nape
of the neck, and back to the center of the forehead.
Select the appropriate bonnet size.
