First Night Tips

Assembly

  1. Ensure you have all the mask components and parts together.

  2. Connect the elbow to the frame.

  3. Thread the left end of the headgear into the left side of the frame and fasten the tab.

  4. Thread the right end of the headgear into the right side of the frame and fasten the tab.

  5. Align the arrow on the cushion to the arrow on the frame and connect together.

  6. Connect the remaining end of the cushion and frame together with the ResMed logo facing the right way up through the headgear.

Fitting

  1. Bring the mask above your head and then down over your face while ensuring the elbow is centered on the top of your head.

  2. Place the headgear behind your head and the cushion under your nose.

  3. Adjust the headgear until the mask and cushion are comfortable. 

  4. Disconnect the elbow from the top of the frame and attach it to the air tubing. 

  5. Reconnect the elbow with the air tubing to the top of the frame.

Disassembly

  1. Ensure your mask is disconnected from your machine.

  2. Pull the cushion out from one end of the frame.

  3. Pull the cushion out from the other end of the frame.

  4. Unfasten the headgear tab from one side and pull it out of the frame.

  5. Unfasten the headgear tab from the other side and pull it out of the frame.

  6. Squeeze the side buttons on the elbow and pull up to release it from the frame.

Ongoing Maintenance

Managing Leaks

  1. Locate where the air is escaping from, which is typically above or below the cushion. Note, there is an intentional vent on the front of the cushion where the air will flow through. This is normal. If air is escaping, this is typically above or below the cushion.

  2. Adjust the cushion by gently pulling it away from your face and letting it reveal itself.

  3. Adjust the headgear as needed to achieve a more secure seal. 

  4. Check that the frame is secure and that the mask elbow and tubing are not pulling on the mask.

Cleaning

Daily

  1. Take the cushion off the frame as per disassembly instructions.

  2. Soak the cushion in warm water and a mild liquid detergent.

  3. Clean the cushion and its vent holes inside and out with a soft bristle brush.

  4. Rinse the cushion thoroughly under running tap water.

  5. Leave the cushion to air dry away from direct sunlight.

Weekly

  1. Disassemble the mask into its components as per disassembly instructions.

  2. Soak each of the components (headgear, elbow and frame) in warm water and a mild liquid detergent.

  3. Clean the elbow and frame with a soft bristle brush and the headgear with your hands.

  4. Rinse each of the components thoroughly under running tap water.

  5. Squeeze the headgear and the sleeves on the frame with a clean towel to remove excess water.

  6. Leave each of the components to air dry away from direct sunlight.
