positive airway pressure device such as a continuous positive airway pressure
(CPAP) or bilevel system.
The Mirage Micro for Kids is:
• to be used by children aged 7 and older, and more than 40 lbs (18.2 kg), for
whom positive airway pressure has been prescribed
• intended for single-patient re-use in the home and multipatient re-use in
the hospital/institutional environment.
WARNING
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients
who are unable to remove the mask by themselves. The mask may
not be suitable for those predisposed to aspiration.
• The mask should be used with CPAP or bilevel devices that
allow pressure relief during expiration as recommeded by your
physician or respiratory therapist.
• If the mask is prescribed for children with serious congenital
conditions or cognitive impairments then using a CPAP or bilevel
device with appropriate alarms is recommended.
• The vent holes must be kept clear.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once
the mask is fitted, ensure the device is blowing air.
• This mask is designed to provide a stable, effective air seal with
minimum headgear tension. High headgear tension may lead to
facial deformities with long-term use. Regular clinician review
of growth patterns and the use of different styles of mask is
recommended.
•
Ensure that the nasal cushion does not block the nostrils at any
time during fitting or use.
