Reprocessing the mask between patients

This mask should be reprocessed when used between patients. Cleaning,
disinfection and sterilisation instructions are available from the ResMed
website, www.resmed.com/masks/sterilization. If you do not have
internet access, please contact your ResMed representative.

Troubleshooting

Problem/possible cause
Mask is uncomfortable
Headgear straps are too tight.
Mask could be the wrong size.
Solution
The cushion membrane is designed to inflate
against your face to provide a comfortable
seal with low headgear tension. Adjust
straps evenly. Ensure that the headgear
straps are not too tight and that the cushion
is not crushed or creased.
Talk to your clinician to have your face size
checked against fitting template. Note that
sizing across different masks is not always
the same.
