Using Your Mask; Cleaning Your Mask At Home - ResMed AirFit F20 User Manual

Using your mask

•
When using your mask with ResMed CPAP or bilevel
devices that have mask setting options, refer to the
Technical specifications section in this user guide for the
correct setting.
•
Follow the instructions provided by your physician or sleep
therapist.
•
Adjustment tips:
− With air pressure applied, pull the mask away from
your face to allow the cushion to inflate and reposition
onto your face.
− To resolve any leaks at the upper part of the mask,
adjust the upper headgear straps. For the lower part,
adjust the lower headgear straps.
− Adjust only enough for a comfortable seal. Do not
overtighten as this may cause discomfort.
•

Cleaning your mask at home

Handwash your mask and headgear by gently rubbing in warm
(approximately 30°C) water using mild liquid detergent. Rinse
all components well under running water and allow to air dry
out of direct sunlight.

instructions and use a mild liquid detergent. Some
cleaning products may damage the mask, its parts and
their function, or leave harmful residual vapours that
could be inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.

Regularly clean your mask and its components to
maintain the quality of your mask and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
