Before using your mask Remove all packaging and inspect each mask component for visible deterioration. Use the fitting template to assist in selecting the right size cushion and frame.
Fitting your mask
2
1. Twist and pull both magnetic clips away from the frame. 2. Place the cushion under your nose and ensure it sits comfortably against your face. With the ResMed logo on the headgear facing up, pull the headgear over your head. 3. Bring the lower headgear straps under your ears and attach the magnetic clips to the frame. 4. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull evenly. Repeat with the lower headgear straps. 5. If the headgear is too close to the ear, adjust the top headgear strap 6. Connect the device air tubing to the elbow and attach the elbow to the mask, ensuring that it clicks in place.
Adjusting your mask •
With the device turned on and blowing air, adjust the position of the cushion for the most comfortable fit under your nose. Ensure that the cushion is not creased and the headgear is not twisted.
•
To fix any leaks at the upper or lower part of the mask, adjust the top, upper or lower headgear straps. Adjust only enough for a comfortable seal and do not overtighten.
Removing your mask 1. Twist and pull both magnetic clips away from the frame. 2. Pull the mask away from your face and back over your head.

Disassembling your mask for cleaning If your mask is connected to a device, disconnect the device air tubing from the mask elbow.
1. Undo the fastening tabs on the upper headgear straps and pull them from the frame. Keep the magnetic clips attached to the lower headgear straps. 2. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and detach from the frame. 3. Hold the top and bottom of the cushion and separate from the frame.
Cleaning your mask After each use: QuietAir elbow, frame, cushion Weekly: Headgear 1. Soak the components in warm water with a mild liquid detergent. Ensure that there are no air bubbles while soaking. 2. Shake the components vigorously in the water for at least one minute and hand wash with a soft bristle brush. Pay particular attention to all connection areas, elbow vent holes and valves. 3. Thoroughly rinse the components under running water. 4. Squeeze the headgear to remove excess water. Leave the components to air dry out of direct sunlight. If the mask components are not visibly clean, repeat the cleaning steps.

WARNING The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to remove the mask by themselves. This mask is not for use on patients with impaired laryngeal reflexes or other conditions predisposing to aspiration in the event of regurgitation or vomiting. To avoid affecting the safety and quality of therapy, the mask vents must be kept clear to protect against rebreathing. Regularly inspect the vents to ensure they are kept clean, undamaged and clear of blockages. The mask contains specific safety features with the supplied elbow (containing the valve and vent assembly) to ensure safe and functional usage. Do not use the mask if these features are damaged or missing. The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air to reduce risk of rebreathing exhaled air. Oxygen supports combustion and must only be used in well ventilated rooms. Do not use oxygen while smoking or near an open flame. Oxygen flow must be turned off when the device is not operating. At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration varies, depending on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask, point of application and leak rate. This warning applies to most types of CPAP or bi-level devices. The technical specifications of the mask are provided for your clinician or respiratory therapist to check that they are compatible with the CPAP or bi-level device. If used outside specification or if used with incompatible devices, the seal and comfort of the mask may not be effective, optimum therapy may not be achieved, and leak, or variation in the rate of leak, may affect the CPAP or bi-level device function. Discontinue using the mask if you have ANY adverse reaction and consult your physician or sleep therapist. Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist. The F30 line of full face CPAP masks are not intended to be used simultaneously with nebuliser medications that are in the air path of the mask/tube. English

WARNING Magnets are used in the lower headgear straps and the frame of the mask. Ensure the headgear and frame is kept at least 50 mm away from any active medical implant (eg, pacemaker or defibrillator) to avoid possible effects from localised magnetic fields. The magnetic field strength is less than 400 mT. Avoid connecting flexible PVC products (eg, PVC tubing) directly to any part of the mask. Flexible PVC contains elements that can be detrimental to the materials of the mask, and may cause the components to crack or break. Regularly clean your mask to maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the growth of germs that can adversely affect your health. Always follow cleaning instructions. Some cleaning products may damage the mask, its parts and their function, or leave harmful residual vapours.
CAUTION • • • •
Remove all packaging before using the mask. When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin redness or sores around the mask cushion. As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low pressures. Visual criteria for product inspection: If there is any visible deterioration of a mask component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.), the component should be discarded and replaced.
